had great guitar fun today. but felt quite lazy so went home straight after.

i think uncleC will be grinning from ear to ear if he saw this. but yeah, it's been a while since i actually benefited this much. i feel great because it's the first rhythm lesson i've had that didn't involve him laughing till his about to fall off his chair...not that he didn't laugh at all.

anyway, i guess there's this sense of commonality because because of my background so sometimes can talk about more in depth stuff and suan people. and somehow along the way, it goes to the extent that i think he takes for granted that i am going to enter the industry.


the thing that sucks though is that the closer i am to graduation, the further i am from my dream. and i realise how i have not carried out anything that moves me closer to my plans at all. what am i doing?

i have made a decision. let's hope i don't regret it.

yuck...i just heard that the prof i'm under for FYP is 'blacklisted'. i have not received this 'blacklist' and i don't know what it's based on. but it's still quite a sian feeling. but experience has shown me that i should not form any opinion before i am actually there to judge for myself. because as far as i know, if there's a 'blacklist' for students, there's a pretty high chance i'll be on it too. so i guess we'll wait and see...and i'll know soon once he replies my mails.

i think i should elabo a bit on my new policy...
at the moment, i'm not really calling people to meet up anymore. it should not be taken as me not wanting to meet up. i'm just tired of always calling and chasing people to come out to meet. the no-obligation thing wasn't exactly working either. so for now...if want to meet up, just give me a call and 90% (or above) i'll probably be free and once a date, time and place is fixed i'll surely be there (emergencies notwithstanding). yeah...it's all part of my plan to save money and play more guitar. so don't think i have nothing to do. because i do. so of course, people who want to meet up to jam around and stuff will get priority. bleah. whatever man, kind of got over the 'guilt' of not bothering to meet up with people already.

today i have also observed something weird. musician's have this tendancy to put stuff in their mouth...from violin bows to guitar picks. yeah...don't they swallow any of this stuff or choke on them? no wonder some people tell me they keep losing picks lah. so darn funny. i'm never borrowing picks from anyone again...who knows where those have been. and i'm going to be very selective about who i lend picks to, because you never know where they might be.

not much of the good times left. got to enjoy while it lasts...

Two things i just learned i don't enjoy (or cannot stand)...
1. guitarists not tuning up before playing.
2. guitarists who string up and not cut the excess string at the tuning peg area.

For point 1, not much explanation needed lah because it's outright just irritating.
For point 2, i don't know if people have seen before...but it's when you string the instrument and go thru all the gear stuff at the top...some people just don't cut off the extra length of string and leave it there...it's very irritating esp when they go on gigs or on tv. the lights reflect off the extra string then you can see the silvery shimmery thing...and sometimes it's really really long, i wonder if the guy will get cut in the face by the string.

i think i have coughed till my head kinda split open. i have had this headache (intensity 8/10) for 3 days and it has not gone away. can't be stress because...WHAT STRESS?

oh ya and i've been watching Euro so i sleep at weird hours. if there's anything up, please leave me an sms or msn message. better don't email...i rarely check and a quite important one got buried recently. argh. tonight...POR V GER. how? wanted to buy POR but don't dare to buy...

i played my first major screw up today...'major' in this case being specifically defined by a extended period of silent pause. not once, but TWICE. it was due to an 'on-the-spot' change in sequence which left me in a literal state of what can best be described as -- "HUH?!"

and i was fumbling around my paper looking for the chords i was supposed to play. i wasn't kan cheong but just looking quite desperately for what i was supposed to play. it wasn't that bad anyway...no one really said anything anyway.

i wonder where it all fits in. what fits in? well...many things.
but more specifically, how what i believe fits in to what i know...who i appear to be fits into who i really am.

i need to know/decide what i want to believe in and my take on things.

anyway...hi to mr James...my new guitar buddy. who has kind of the same guitar as me. nice to meet you man...

argh...not much of holidays left...need to maximise time.

ok 2 things to blog about:

first.
special thanks to HJ. for the past 3 years of advice and stuff. haha every time i have problems with school stuff...i'll turn to HJ. and now i'm finally a final year student myself...seesh...time sure flies.

second.
cousin's wedding. well, what can i say...nice food and stuff. but after knowing these 2 people for a while...i don't really talk to all my cousins. but this one and her new husband are the ok bunch. not very close, but ok. and i think they're both nice people...so yeah.


alright, very tired. good night everyone.

i saw this sign today at some foodcourt. If u want to know where can. ask me.

Usually toilet signs are 1 for males and 1 for females. But in this place, it's 1 for males and 1 for fat males (or as my bro says 1 for males and 1 for pregnant women)..haha see for yourself.

drats! my GPA didn't move this semester. well it did drop by 0.01 but it doesn't affect the significant figure so i'm taking it as it didn't move. so it's good news right? well...yeah, if my GPA was in the 2nd lower or 2nd upper range. but nope...i'm still stuck on 3rd class and it's really lousy. now it just means that i have 2 semesters left to catch up a 0.2 GPA.

how do i do that? well...it's simple really. just need to get at least B+ for everything and an A- for FYP. it's SIMPLE right? argh...i should just accept the sick fact that i'm going to graduate with what i have and take anything extra as a bonus.

goodnight everyone. 2 months of holiday left.

argh! just 2 weeks ago i had a super excess in my bank, but now? i have a deficit of 200 bucks...this can't be it. looks like i got to stay at home and eat bread drink water till july. i thought i had it all calculated properly. actually i did, just some unforeseen circumstances.

i still got things i want to buy before my new acoustic will sound decent enough to play outside. help me. and all i need now is for someone to call me and tell me they want me to play for the wedding before i'm utterly screwed.

...4 more days to no-more-nonsense.
