never knew this could happen

tell me a million times and i'll still be unable to believe i actually started a blog. it isn't really my kind of thing but somehow, i'm here for reasons i myself could not comprehend. maybe because there are things that i'd like to spread, bring out to the masses which i think would benefit people. i'm not a samaritan by nature, yet somehow it started flowing in my blood some time ago when i wasn't looking. plus, i guess not using english since o levels isn't very good for my language. poly doesn't test on languages and i doubt i'm going to use much in nus and this could prove crucial to preventing my language skills from deteriorating. not that it's wonderful in the first place but it shouldn't go from 'acceptable' to 'poor'. as for the no-caps thing, it's deliberate but i do not mean any disrespect to people when i refer to their names in small letters. i like things small and compact but not tiny. the nano world is not really my cup of tea. imagine having a chip in your body, we are turning from man to machine and when the time comes, newspaper articles would run out of ideas for headlines because lines like 'the lean mean fighting machine' would've become so literal, it creates no impact.
so much for an introduction. that's how things go when i just got it started. gradually, i'll become a minimalist. well, many of my friends, friend's friends, friend's friend's friends i've heard, within a 7-connection frame (which basically includes the 6 billion population) said that they would like to take up language courses like japanese but basically have no time due to work, studies, personal commitments. there's this online site that offers online japanese language courses which isn't really expensive, plus questions may be posted to tutors through email messages, so you guys might want to check it out if you fall in that category. the site is at http://www.edujation.com
music wise, we should try to support local bands, or at least somewhere around the region. i came across this malaysia band somehow and i think it's pretty cool. shal sagan @ http://shalsagan.net check it out. this amazing lady at the age of 21 started her own record label shzogawa records to distribute their first album. she sings, writes, composes, co-produces her songs and plays lead guitar. that's why she made it to my desktop. saya tidak boleh cakap bahasa melayu (i can't speak malay). checkout the wallpaper i made of shal.
