Right, so here it was...
I was driving with some of my friends from university (one of my classmates and 3 Japanese girls on an exchange program :P) to a restaurant by this highway (which my friend promised to take them too since the curry in this place is really good and they seem to really like "karee").
Bear in mind that things are the opposite way around here in terms of how the road is from most of you guys.
Anyway, I was turning left into the highway. There was a Toyota Rav4 right in front of me who was making the same turn. So we were both waiting there to make the turn.
So then I looked to the right and found the highway to be completely free of cars, hence safe to make the turn. So I moved forward... still looking to the right... so I didn't notice that she didn't quite start to move yet...
Next thing I know, my whole bonnet was a crumpled mess, with her back spare tyre barely scratched. We exchanged details and the rest of the day passed me by...
So yeah, don't anyone lecture me that the 3 hot Japanese girls in my car were distracting me...
But to say whether the day was worth making for those girls... hmm... over $1000 in repairs... I don't know if that is quite worth it... I'm Asian after all, hence cheap... - I'm alive 2006-03-05 21:32:48 Ok... so I got into a car accident over the weekend... but at least I'm still posting, right?

A philosophical discussion, this shall be.
Are you of the belief that consciousness is transferrable?
What I mean is, does one's personality, consciousness... well, let's say spirit (I think ego would be the appropriate term, but let's not confuse ourselves ), do you think that it is being implanted in the words that you are typing and sending out into the interweb.
I know that certain posters, given enough time of me seeing their stuff, I tend to notice certain patterns, I guess certain characteristics about the way they present themselves.
But how much of that is an actual truth of our real spirits. With the internet being so anonymous, how true is this character we are sending out into the wide world of digital anarchy.
Simply put, do you think that by logging in, typing away your thoughts and opinions, do you feel that a part of you is now residing in cyberspace? Or do you think that what's out there is a different thing altogether to who you believe you are, just a concoction of your imagination, somebody which exists separately to your own spirit?
I've just been mulling over these thoughts for some time now, and no, I haven't been watching the Matrix lately Having spent the summer holidays constantly online, I've been thinking of a personality out there that is supposedly representing me, sort of Lain-esque, and I'm quite interested in how truly that person is like me, or at least of what I believe is me.
We've been raised to believe in what we can feel, what can we touch, see with our eyes, hear, smell... the physicality of the real world is what defines our universe, but the internet is a whole other realm. How does one make sure that they are talking to someone real in say, the IRC channel? How does one really put faith in a bunch of words that you see flickering on the screen? Do you think it's easier to believe the written word to the one you heard, face to face talking to the person? - waiting waiting waiting... 2006-03-03 03:03:57 Must stay awake... must keep waiting... for phone call... most important phone call of my young life...
