Got my SX1!!! wheee! (flips)

Dropped down to hello shop, Orchard today. There was this very funny aura there which was rather "funny" initially, the "coming soon" sign is gone now, being replaced with a "features" backdrop in the store. but still a dummy phone on display, so I approached the salesgirl regarding the launch... "cuse me, is the SX1 out yet?" (for...

Late morning…

Woke up at 12 noon today considering the lack of sleep the last few days, with my family out for my sister's tution. Love the new curtains, bedspreads, ambience and very "red deco" my mum had been put in the living room as part of chinese new year's tradtion, very nice. And so it ends... the tedious 6...

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...

Saturday outs… and so is sun…

Its a lazy morning today... so what can I do but kickstart it with a nice breakfast watching Disney's Inspector gadget movie 2 on the computer... Pretty got me up and going. Met up with my platoonmate John who drove down to pick me up in his mum's car for some army and games shopping at beach...

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...

The fun’s over.

So much for new year's day, I just wanna update the blog on some new stuffs I tried today before booking back to camp, namely acquiring a new interest- paintball!, with Tippmann USA having a gun of my liking, the A-5. Orchard CC is the place in Singapore with a paintball fighting arena, not to mention...

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...
