BOUGHT!

I just bought a new guitar. Very pleased with it. I guess it the process of buying it and knowing what contentment is.

Pics maybe coming soon.

At the moment, I'm going to send it for a set up tomorrow. Hopefully I can get it back by sat.

Thank you God.

Guitars

These few days all that I do online is go to guitar4christ forums and read and read and read. I am looking to buy a new guitar. Some entry level guitars but I've gotten more than I bargained for. I learnt a lot about guitars. The body, the make, the brand, the tone. A lot of things.

I've met a lot of guitar fanatics online and these guys are really nice people. They try to help out as much as they can. I guess this is beacuse the people on this forums are generally christians and the really do show love in this high tech manner.

I've just met a guitar owner who is selling his Taylor 710, which is a 1994 model. He is selling it at 2.9k and he is only 19 years old. I felt so ashamed. He is younger than me but so much more knowlegable and owns one of the better guitars that I have seen.

Well, this guitar 'shopping experience' that I am going through now is something I've never done before. I have to be careful with what I want because I'm using a lot of money for it. And I need to know what I want and am looking for. And to trust God that when I touch the guitar that I really like, I would know that 'IT'. Its exciting and time is really tight for me to go round trying guitars. But when I've decided, I'll put her here for all to see.

Till then, Ciao.

Random night!

Just drank some wine with my family. Bought this at the airport after a holiday to Hong Kong. Its 50SGD for a bottle of 375ml of liquid GOLD! Finally after so long I've decided to open it. Well, it was meant for someone special, well that someone isnt so special anymore so, I decided to reward my parents with it.


Before


After

These pictures arent sharp or nicely taken cause they are not taken by a DSLR. Seriously after playing with Cass's DSRL for such a long while now, I dont seem to know how to use the others. I cant set it up like how I can with cass's and it frustrates me that this is the best I can come up with.

Anyways, cameras aside, the wine is so delicious it smells and taste almost like perfume. Yum!

So what so random about tonight? Well, I went grocery shopping after somewhat seems like the longest time in a while. I had fun looking and buying stuffs. Then my mummy actually asked if we (my sister and I) wanted supper at PRATA HOUSE! Like, mum, are you really that hip? You hang out there and have supper there one meh?! But anyway, we went, and I love it there, its home ground man.

I'm trying to learn and play some songs. Inspired by the people on youtube but I hate my voice cause of its short range. I've known this problem for a while but I wonder if a voice can be trained. If a lousy voice can actually be made good. Or is this a talent/natural thing?

Another random thing was that I happen to view her and the guy on facebook. I must admit they look cute together. Wearing same colour tees as well, so lovely. Looking at her pictures, I realised that there are really many more pretty girls out there. Her group of friends for example are really pretty too.

And I got another great find. I found someone who I wanna be like in few years time. He is a drummer, a guitarist, a sound engineer, a music producer. I wonder what is his job now. I've emailed him to see if we can meet up for a chat.

Its late and there is church tomorrow. I pray tomorrow would be an amazing day.

Things I want... maybe need

1) Martin & Co. Guitar ( I cant remember the model except 16)
*Edited: I've found the model - D16RGT *

2) Taylor 410CE, but the new range is out so I dont really know. Maybe I dont want a Taylor, maybe I dont NEED a Taylor, YET!

3) Berklee College of Music ( I want to major in drums, but then I'm very interested in guitar and piano too of which I am not well skilled in)

4) Berklee College of Music ( Majoring in Sound Production)

5) iPod touch/ Zen X-Fi

6) Laptop to start doing some amateur recordings.

7) a pretty girlfriend (Cathy Nguyen) with a sweet character and an amazing voice for singing.

7 is a number for completion. And I would be completed when I have a number 7. And maybe someone should bring me back to earth.

Love and Music

These two things always seems to come together. When I think of Love, I think of a life partner, of music, of careers and of God. When I think of music, the same thing happens.

Why am I thinking so much about love and music? Well, I was just browsing the web today and thinking of looking for a music school. I want to learn music. Serious music theory and techniques. Be it drums or keyboard or any instrument (saxophone). I want to improve as a musician.

As I was browsing through the web, I found a website that was for a recording school. It has good credentials and it really drew my attention. I looked through the whole website just to make sure that it is not a scam. Though I still dont know if it is a scam or not, I have decided to try and apply. Well, there is nothing tagged to applying so I just did anyway.

I really dont know what is to become of me. I dont know what to do anymore. Both love and music seem so unattainable. I wonder if I can get into music school and also learn about studio and live recording altogether.

I am a jack of all trades, master of none. So then tell me, what am I good for?

Temporary Out of Order

This human is currently not functioning well.

He is lacking in sleep and rest.

He is suffering from a broken heart.

He is having too much things in his head.

He is confused about life.

This human wants to have the Creator to repair the human and make him function as he should.

DANGER! DO NOT USE.
Human out of order!

What a week!

I just came back from range. I have been shooting for 2 days in a row. My day starts at 5am when I wake up till 12am the next day then I get to sleep. Its been 2 very tiring days in addition to the lack of sleep in the weekends. And tomorrow, or rather later, I have to go to work as usual for an audit check. Plus a guard duty that very evening also. There is also depot cohesion on friday and I wonder, where am I going to get all these energy from.

In addition to the fatigue, I heard a very shocking news in which I am just informed that she is attached. Are the girls that I take interest in really so desirable? Maybe, otherwise I wouldn't be attracted to them as well. Maybe I'm slow, I dare not take action due to too many rejections. My heart is troubled after knowing. Even so, I thank you for informing me. So far 2 have been taken. And I wish them both all the best.

Lord I know I've not been close to You. I've not been disciplined. Though I know things are not going so well for me, I still trust You. I still acknowledge that You are my Lord and Saviour. I know that You are a good Lord and I desire for more of You in my life. Bring me back to the life where You are the center of it all.

Am I a bastard?

Sometimes I really feel that I am one. I tend to sweet talk to a girl, be super nice to her and then make some promise that I think I'll never fulfill. Today, I've just made 2. I wonder if I'll ever be a man of my words.

I feel like a bastard cause it feels like I'm toying with their feelings. Then again, am I fooling myself or am I being played by them as well?
