Easter's coming!!!

Easter holidays
I have never been looking forward to Easter, apart from when I was in the first two years of boarding school. By then, life was so boring that I couldn't wait to go to somewhere else. Then in uni time, Easter always meant that I had to revise full time. This year, SL, HY, KC and I are going on a 2-day road trip towards Wales, and that's why I am so looking forward.

Last blog and atheism
Can't believe none of you said anything about my last entry. Wasn't it interesting? If nobody can prove that there's no teapot between the Earth and Mars, you can't deny that there's one!

Last Friday my aunt gave me an article about Intelligent Design, and how it could fit into modern Science. It talks about a concept of multi-timeframe (I'm not sure I've translated it correctly). It argues that theories in modern physics, chemistry and biology can still be valid even God used 6 days to create the Universe. Here is the outline of it:

Imagine that God is the ultimate, perfect item, who control absolutely everything, and know everything. He spends six days to create everything in the Universe (from nothing), and put it in front of the first human being (Adam and Eve) a few thousands years ago, such that when these human beings (created by God) investigate how the Universe was formed, it looked like it's been some billion years ago. Or in other words, during that 6 days that he spent in his timeframe, it was some billion years in our timeframe. This, in some sense, fits the Big Band theory. The God started the bang.

The article went on to explain why evolution is not possible, which I think is less convincing and therefore not putting it here. Because of the education system that I went through, I firmly believe that monkeys, gorillas are our relatives.

Back to the manual gear box
I rang my driving tutor and arranged an advanced driving lesson with him last night. I first spent a little bit of time driving near Old Street, to get used to manual gear box again, and also his new car (Honda Jazz Sport, 1.4L). Then we went eastward to Limehouse tunnel, A13, M25 (south), Deptford Crossing (a big bridge that cost £1), Orprington, Bromley, Deptford, Surrey Quay (dinner at a Vietnamese restauray, super nice!!!), and then finally back to London Bridge. This car is so much better than the one that I took my driving test with (his old Nissan Micra 1.0L). It's much more sensitive, the steering, brake, gas, gear box, everything. And it was just a pleasure to drive. And it's not expensive at all (something around £12,000)!!!

Photos
I've taken some photos but have been very lazy to upload them. Will do so soon.
