WOOTWOOTWOOT! finally got my electric guitar! didn't buy the SA120 as planned, but i got something better. Ibanez SA260FM. Flame maple top! looks great. sounds great too with HSS pickup config and a tremolo bridge. there is a tapcoil too! can't wait to jam with it!

hurrr i know i haven't blogged for very long... so here i am now.

today i went on another guitar trying spree around the city ahll area. i.e. bras besah, peninsular area. lol tried an SA160 at sweelee, but it sucked real bad. then tried some other ibanez at guitar connection, but it was too ex and didn't have trem. but i found one at music theme, almost perfect: HH, good brand (LTD), fixed fender-style trem, VERY good sound, alder body... almost would have bought it. only problem was it was too cheap to be true, or at least last for a decent amount of time, and the finish sucked, was like this matt black. ergh. then another thing was that the headstock was INVERTED. yuck. so unbalanced. but heck i'll find my guitar at my own time aye, don't wanna buy the wrong guitar. It's like marrying the wrong person.

heh... haven't blogged for a while. too lazy i guess. IB really takes it out of you. like bleh

anyway... i'm really excited cuz I'M GETTING BAPTISED TOMORROW! Now i finally can tell everyone that i'm serious about God and living for him. I really am!

ooh went to sims drive sweelee today. to try some guitars i'm eyeing. actually i was (and am) eyeing one only... the ibanez SA120. well it had awesome sound... if it weren't for the floating bridge which kept going out of tune. so irritating. but heck that can be fixed. I also tried one SZ something... that one was more ex but had lots of problems. knobs were too tight, switch was rusty, action too low... terrible QC. really really liked the SA. will get it during june hols i guess. oh yar. colour was terrible though, but got other colours. it was a grainy silver colour... yuck

dang... down with stomach flu... stomach has been perpetually bloated since saturday... now it's really bad. feel like puking... went to the doctor just now... but he didn't give me any stomach flu medicine... only the symptom medicine... at least I got an MC for tmr also...

dang... went to take a passport-sized photo for school today at some random neighbourhood photoshop. stupid thing was, it took 4 takes before i could get a decent shot. either my mouth looked super sad or fakely smiling... only after adjusting in the mirror then freezing my face did I get something which looked like a semi-smile - not good. at least the lady was nice enough to give me 5 tries...

TGIF!

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY! gosh i've had such a tiring and stressful week. with all these activities and waking up early and lectures about how hard it is to score for IB and this and that and what not... finally get a BREAK.

Gosh i gotta be very honest... since these lectures on IB subjects and EE and ToK and CAS and everything started, i've had this nagging feeling of regret at the back of my head. IB requires constant and consistent scoring... and i'm not a consistent scorer. I'm more of the end product kinda guy, so i've been doubting in the back of my mind that i'm actually cut out for IB.

But i've realised that it's all about knowing how to play the game. i should stop thinking about why i'm NOT cut out for IB. what i need to do is think about HOW to make myself adapt to IB. Forget what i'm not. Think about what I can be. And, step by step with God I will get that diploma at the end.
