In a moment of epiphany while listening to Korean love songs. why Korean love songs u may ask? cos it just happened to be on the playlist and I was wanting to listen to something foreign. It occurred to me, that the Korean songs just seem more romantic (i.e. sad and sappier) than english love songs. (No offence to Koreans or korean loving people ya)

 

And it occurred to me that some languages are just more emotive than others. Like u can fall in love with the person just because they're speaking the language. Like French, they don't have to be singing anything, just talk and I can listen for hours without a clue what the heck they're on about.

 

Arabic is also lively. German's very gruff sounding, quite monotonous. Bahasa Indonesia is very sing-y... total opposite of German.

 

English I realise, varies depending on your native tongue. English spoken by a French is totally different from the British. heck, even Britons and Americans speak differently.

 

But that's just to my ears. :D

 

Peace!

 

 

 

 

Occurred to me that most of our evenings are spent on the computer or laptop, surfing the internet, or chatting on MSN, or (the law forbid) downloading music and movies illegally.

 

Funny how everyone in my family has a laptop. All 5 of us. And our evenings are spent in our separate spaces, individual occupations with the help of the Internet. Here's a snippet of communication after dinner

 

8:00 pm: All members of the family aged beloow 25 are at their laptops

8:01pm: Dad plugs his LAN cable

8:02: Zaf notices her download rate is decreasing fast (It was a legal free download from calabash music ok?!)

8:02: Younger bro and elder bro disconnected from MSN

8:02: Dad happily surfing the internet

8:03: Zaf and bro disabled & enabled LAN connection

8:04: "Limited or No connectivity" bubble still shows

8:04: Zaf bitches about the connection. Younger bro enters room, asks," Can you connect to the Internet?" Zaf,"No"... Bro,"Me neither... but Abah can... we got disconnected after he got connected... why?" Zaf:"Dunno" (I'm a sis of few words)

8:05: Zaf and younger bro turns off and turns on again whatever that can be turned off and turned on again, with the hope of a reconnection.

8:20: Zaf and younger bro gives up.

 

Oh... somewhere between me and my brother trying to do all possible magic to get connected again, older bro left his laptop, and went to sleep.

 

10:00 pm: Zaf's magic fingers did the trick. ANd we're back online!! Older bro wakes up and continues his work and chat. :S

 

So a snippet sums up my family. Dad the oblivious. Zaf the quiet, underrated tekkie genius, younger bro the chatterbox and older bro the opportunist.

 

And I'm still getting low download bitrate :S why.. why... why....???
