so now free string no ringing sound, but d low e string when u play certain frets still got la..
hmm izit d guitar or izit my fault?
hahax coz d low e string ringing problem occured after i re-stringed the guitar..
muz b my fault la..

doubt i can enter exco in the first place..
hmm.. wad else..
o yes had practice wif d sec 2s who juz joined the main ensemble..
ok they r fine la i guess..
but i dun like their attitude..
the way they suan about each other..
the way they treat each other..
very insensitive..
them, not me..
although they may take it lightly,
i dont think that its fun being at the receiving end..
i mean yea so what if u r weak la..
as fellow cca mates, as frens, u guyz shudn like suan each other..
being cynical about each other..
laughing at each other..
i tell u again, it sux being at the receiving end..
hmm o ya, i changed parts..
from bass to contrabass..
hmm i think mr gaspar insisted i go contrabass coz i suck..
its juz that he duzn want to say it so blatantly..
i mean at first i wanted 2 go prime..
many of us(sec 3s) wanted to go prime..
hmm but got 2 many ppl..
n d first person dat mr gaspar ask 2 transfer 2 contrabass was..
me..
i mean he din ask me to la, he asked whether i want to..
but he sounds very insistant..
hmm n ari also tried to persuade me to go contra..
saying that it is much simpler than prime, simpler then bass..
hmm k la, i dun want to like join d primes, then struggle2..
so i decided to join contra..
i mean at least if i screw up got the guitarron (ari) to cover me..
n d sec 2 oso..
hmm o wellz its 4 d sake of d ensemble :P
aaaahh Rai juz ditched me ydae!
er if u r wondering, Rai is a cat..
ydae came loitering around my doorstep meowing..
after giving it 2 fishies, and after playing wif it, it left me..
sigh.. hahax..

hmm o ya, ari wants a white jem!!

yay get to blog!!
hmm i try 2 remember wad happened ar during holidays.. wait wad holidays? ahahax.. omg duzn sound rite.. mus.. speekkk.. engllissshhhh...
*cough*2
ok. I shall now recount(did i get it right?) what happened to me in the past few days.
Firstly, Saturday.
I spent my whole Saturday doing homework.
Yes, I am not lying.
Sunday I skipped my religious school.
I went tuition.
Had a 'test'.
I think the teacher miscounted my marks.
Who cares.
Finally talked to Raihanie.
We've been in the same tuition class since like..
Since i went for tuition.
:P
N like the first thing she said to me was like
"U frm RI??"
It gets kind of irritating sometimes.
But yea I survived the first 3 years of it.
Enough about Sunday.
Oh wait.
Sunday night, spent the whole night talking my parents into letting me go jamming.
Managed to talk them around.
Monday.
Thats yesterday.
Went jamming.
With Bib, Ari and Sabrina.
Where was it again?
Oh rite. Katong Shopping Centre.
Ok so what did we play?
Many things.
Hahax. Or many parts from many different songs.
Everyone gets a go at every instrument.
Bass is fun.
Drums are more fun.
Yeah Bib can drum AND sing.
But no she would not listen to me.
Hahax.
Oh yes after an hour jamming.
I finally realised that Sabrina's guitar was a Stratocaster.
A red Fender Stratocaster.
Whoa.
Speaking about slowness.
No I meant i was slow, not the Fender.
Personally I'm not a big fan of Fender.
Or at least Stratocaster.
But it was very nice(the guitar).
Anyway, we jammed for like 2 hours.
Then we went Peninsular plaza to take a look at guitars.
Ari seems very sure that he wants a BC RIch.
Oh yes speaking of Ari,
I think he now has a crush on Sabrina.
Oh yes now that I realise it,
I just remembered how he quickly made me sit in d front seat of the cab.
So he could sit with the girls behind.
Or next to Sabrina for that matter.
Enough about Ari.
At Peninsular, saw a PINK FENDER STRATOCASTER.
$1000++.
And I saw a JEM77B RMR
For the fifth time.
Sigh makes me melt looking at it.
HAhax thats because it has a mirror finishing and thus I saw my own reflection.
Jkjk.
But its really cool.
Sabrina had to leave earlier because she has some stuff going on somewhere.
After that we went to eat.
No actually Ari n Bib went to eat.
I went home, i don't know why the hell did i go home.
When I went home i did a bit of composing on my guitar.
Ouh yes, im renaming my guitar to Juliet.
It was previously Sam JR.
Hahax. Anyway where were we?
Oh yes composing a song, called
"LyingInBedTestingMyNewPinkPick"
Hey wait doesn't sound right.
Must ask Bib what's the title again.
Anyway, my bro called.
He say's he's gonna give me his amp, guitar, effects pedal and etc.
But the guitar needs repairing.
And repainting.
I shall spray it red.
Was thinking of pink, but changed my mind.
Anyway after that I did homework.
Then slept at two thirty am or somewhere around there.
I think i would have been awake for much longer if my phone did not run out of battery.
Hahax i will not say who i was on the phone with.
Later Ari the Playboy will start getting jealous for no reason.
And a certain somebody else too.
Today woke up quite early.
At 9++, 10.
I think i would be still in bed now if Bib didn't sms me in the morning.
Hahax going Ikea at 10 am? Kewl.
Oh she saw mr gaspar there also she said.
O yes suddenly I remembered.
I was playing Crystal Planet, by Joe Satriani.
On a classical guitar.
As in Satriani plays it on electric guitar(duh)
But I managed to play it on my Juliet.
Haha I want to be like Joe Satriani!!!
Wait no I want to be like Mr GASPAR!!
Or both?
Howabout a conductor during the day, and a super funky guitarist at night?
But Mr Gaspar is already a super funky guitarist :P
But he doesnt play electric guitar much does he?
O no i forgot.
I want to set up my own chain of restaurants.
Oh no how??
O ok i've got an idea.
I set up a chain of restaurants, put somebody in charge of it while I'm conducting somewhere else.
Then in the restaurants I shall play my own cd of guitar songs as background music.
Yay im a genius.
N of course my restaurants will need an interior designer.
I know of a friend who wants to be an interior designer when she grows up.
Yeah I'll hire her.
See long term planning.
Argh enuf blogging for now.
gtg.
toodles.
