My father, as usual, is listening to Korean music downstairs. ...Probably Chinese and Jap and Canto and Hokkien in the mix too, I don't think he really cares xD

He's just in it for the music, like me.

And well, when I say I'm heavily exposed to different genres of songs, I'm not lying.

Today I've already listened to Stabilo (no idea what the hell that genre is), screamo/techno (BotDF...), Country, for god's sake, (Toby Keith! :D), and later on I'll probably listen to some rock, some indie, some of The Cab, and I don't know what category that fits in either.


But right now I'm listening to Korean.

The music's stopped playing, or at least I can't hear it anymore, which is a huge shame. I've always loved that song. It was the theme song to...oh, what was it now? A famous fable. Chinese or Korean, I can't remember now. But it was a famous famous story adapted into a Korean drama, oh god what was it's name?

It had a C in it. I'm fairly certain. Whatever. The theme song was a classic, I swear I love it to smithereens. And I saw said drama a few years ago and it was fantastic, although I've all but forgotten it now.

Two nights ago, at dinner, somehow the topic of conversation was about languages. Mom said she loved Chinese, Papa wanted to learn German (so he could understand Mercedes-Benz manuals... XD), and I wanted to learn Korean and French.

Somehow, we ended up talking about what language God would speak.

'The language of love,' I said melodramatically. Then, after a moment's pause: '...So it's Italian.'

'looks like we better learn a lot of languages, then, just to be safe'

'What language does Satan speak?'

'The worst-sounding language in the world,' I said. I probably would've suggested Chinese, but then Papa said, 'Hokkien!'

and we were like, 'lolwhut.'

And then he impersonated Hokkien Satan, barking out incomprehensible orders in the dialact and I lol'd very very hard, because I'm a sucker for Hokkien. Even though I don't understand it.

'And the worst thing is, I can actually imagine Satan like that,' I said.

It was a MAGICAL MOMENT :'D
