Didn't go out today, partly because I was too lazy to do so... Managed to get one guitar playing and experiementation today, pushing the amplifer settings gain (distortion on) to bout 6, mid -1, reverb nil, bass maxed and treble -2 will produce a good acoustic tone on the bass strings while strumming on the other 5 strings...

Wet week.

The last week is one which truly tests one's ability to carry in all weather conditions- both in the sun and rain. Is was definitely not a "very" wet week but sometimes I feel that rain always come always so at the right moment when you are outdoors, in fact on two occasions (Mon and Wednesday). Personally...

Sleep sleep

Slept on the bus on the way home today and missed my stop, one of the dumb things I ever get to do in life... I am just super tried today, normally I would try to stay awake to enjoy my weekends but today's an exception- having slept from 4.30am only to wake up at 7.25am yesterday...

New year’s morning

Well, its new year's day, the morning! A fine day so far, the ambience, the breakfast, the hopes for a nice good 2004. Didn't have much time to recap actually what happened yesterday in my previous post, so I would just get blabbering on this one. New year's eve, booked out of camp around noon, got home,...

Happy new year

The fireworks are up, so are the crowds at the esplanade/ esplanade bridge. There was more fireworks there than last year's lasting bout 20minutes worth of continuous fireworks at the bay area. Not bad, not bad. I just love the "twilight" period between christmas and new year, everyone's just simply crazy- everybody's always happy, smiling, like going...

Argh! fingers are aching like crazy today aftersome practice time with my new guitar, just a bit more tries over the weeks and I should be able to get the hang of it and become immune to the pain. And so its the last sunday of the year, also the last blog entry before I head back to...

Washburn

Yea, got my guitar today, a Washburn WG228 electric guitar, plays well on the clean and distorts. On the technical side, it spots a humbucker/single coil/humbucker (H/S/H) setup, Floyd-Rose tremlo with locking system and a well finished fretboard and polished greenish-black body throughout. Very worth it for the price range. I settled for an ibanez practice amp...

Its just like another weekend.

Having christmas day off camp is just like having another weekend (book out the day before and back the very next night) when you come to think about it, we NSFs are actually working 6 day weeks in the army, talking about worker exploitation! And on top of that we work 72 hours a week without overtime...

Christmas lunch with fam, Swee Lee closed

Dropped down to Bras Basah Complex for lunch with my family and to enquire on my new guitar at Swee lee music store, but they are closed. Quite expected as they failed to answer my repeated calls to their showroom. However as stated on their website they are opened on public holidays. But an apologetic piece of...

Christmas in 15

Dinner was at the Mariner's restaurant at the singapore maritime center. It was actually an eating place open for mariner's who stop by here in their sail/shipping trips. But now its opened to the public, if not they won't be getting much of customers either in this era of transport efficiency. The food is generally good but...

A rather “perfect” weekend

Got one of my coursemates, John to give me a lift in his dad's car to clementi MRT station after booking out from camp yesterday, after some tough training. There was one group who initially wanted a junk food junk-out after losing considerable glucose levels during yesterday morning's power training. But it was all turned down due...
