Happy man

Watching : bleeding through - kill to believe



this little baby here have just been added to my rig just yesterday. this is the coolest thing ever! this have always been part of my dream owning this thing! it's a TS808! though it's a resissue, but to hell with it! it screams and it's one of the best pedal ever created on earth. it's goes very well with my DS7, any either way, a booster, or an overdrive.



it's truly heaven owning this 2 ibanez pedal. i wonder why Jerry thinks so highly of BOSS pedal when there's just sweet pedals made by ibanez. personal preference though. he loves screwing out the screws and check on the PCB (it's not pua chee bye, it's printed circuit board) to see if it's 'VINTAGE' with that damn french accent.

well still, i have to thank him for being so patient helping me with all the knowledges about music. in terms of hardware and tone. and having the patience to actually accompany me through all the testing of pedals and guitars.

well, it's time i stop GASing (gear aquiring syndrome) and start brushing up on my skills. the financial thing is weighing me down. so no more GASing and start saving up for guitar lesson. better start fast and start planning now. and i really must have the determination on not to anyhow spend money.

----------------------------


so yesterday, i went to Jerry's house first as to actually decide on whether to get the TS9DX or Jekyll and Hyde. initially, TS808 never cross my mind because it was over my budget. we thought that the swee lee usual 20% discount don't go with the pedals. so i was in a dilema. i will blog about how it came about later.

so we read up, and talk shit about on amps and pedals. Jerry got a 'VINTAGE'(yes, with that damn french accent) DD2. he was so pleased because the guy who sold him didn't know his gears. he still sell it with another HM2 for $150. so he deal with him imeediately.

anyway, we went to swee lee first to test out my pedal. initially, we tested out TS9DX. it's good i must say, fattens the tone with smoothing it out. great as a booster. then Jerry thought since we are there, might as well test the digitech bad monkey. it's smoothen out the tone, not very rich, but it's a better overdrive than TS9DX. while Jerry's testing the bad monkey, that's when the swee lee malay guy came in. he's a very friendly guy. cleared out all our doubts without hesitating. every question we ask, he replied in a jiffy.

now this is where Jerry asked about the TS808. the malay guy said, he tested the 808 and he's very impressed. it's actually crossover, a mixture of bad monkey and TS9DX. he wanted to get that himself. then he recommended us that. he took it out showed and tested 808. i was fucking blown away can. so i thought, maybe i can get that. so we enquired about the swee lee discount. it's applicable. just nice $252. it's within my budget.

bet that guy was devasted when he found out it's the last TS808. he hoped that sim drive still have stock. i hope so too. he's really a friendly nice chap.

we left and went to G77 to buy Jerry's daisy chain.

then we parted ways, i went to lion dance and Jerry went to work. well, i won't go into the fine details about the lion dance trip. it's just pure fun.

well, i'm going to chalet tomorrow and on saturday. will update on that when i get back.

dilema

Watching : Nirvana - Live and Loud

lazing around, even lazy to blog. *laughs. okay, i'm here to update after such a long fuss.

when did i last post? i lost track of it. *laughs! okay, i'll start on saturday, since there's something happening on that day. or just because i forgot what took place on friday.

saturday was west coast guan mo hui. there's quite some disputes and all. but all went well. just don't get it why is he always there to spoil all the fun. he always gave the face of disgust which most of us don't know why. BLAH, whatever. i believe more people are starting to like despise him. not that i'm sowing discord, everyone have eyes to see and witness. not for me to say.

sunday, i stayed at home all day to slack and sleep.

yesterday, i was slacking at home when raymond sms me about the hok san thing. i totally forgot all about it! but nonetheless, he reminded me and i went down. it's just some usual welcoming the china inmates from the province of hok san. and a stupid performance for them to see.

before that went to have dinner with the bunch. at first thought it was at some posh restaurant with great food. but things came down as they told us it's just at some coffee shop with great 'zhi cha'.

that's like totally 2 different world and 2 different stories.

and everyone came down to help just for the reason.. good food at posh restaurant. but nonetheless, the food's still good.

yesterday, mr paulo called me to ask me if i want to take my final year exam. well, i did have the intention to to retake. then he didn't want me to retake because i didn't revise and i will pull down the total percentage passers.

Me : eh, paulo, tomorrow can retake or not?

Mr Paulo : you got revise or not?

Me : i didn't. then can or not?

Mr Paulo : WA LAO EH?! like that cannot. you sure pull down the percentage. and matthew won't let you go in. cannot cannot.

Me : then how?

Mr Paulo : don't take la. you going poly already, take also no use. don't take la. you don't get me into trouble.

Me : wa lao, you like that bastard leh. teach me bad. don't go take exam. Okay la, then i tomorrow go sign the attrition form. official quit school.

Mr Paulo : Okay, tomorrow you come down you call me.

-------------------------------------------


so today, i went to school to sign the attrition form. so i'm now officially free and waiting to enrol into NYP.

well, that's got to be all.

oh yeah, just to remind myself. i have to do the following stuffs. TRY to complete everything.

-------------------------------------------


- decide whether to buy TS9DX or Jekyll and Hyde by tomorrow

- get either TS9DX or Jekyll and Hyde by this week

- finish kelly's and diana's blog

- learn more about tube amps

- practice guitar

- save up money after getting either TS9DX or Jekyll and Hyde

- take guitar lessons

Listening : Mr Brown - Zhng my car 7

well this few days, i've been absenting myself in everywhere. lion dance, absent. blog, absent. school, absent. band, absent. friend meeting, absent.

seriously, it's getting bored around here. i'll try to see if i can spice up somethings in my life. but guitar playing takes most of the time.

i'm missing someone badly.

18 March 2006

worn out

Listening : Roadrunner's United - Voice of the Voiceless

i'm totally beat from what happened after today and yesterday. i actually fell asleep and missed my bus stop. damn. i'll update as soon as i can.

15 March 2006

pissed

Listening : Nothing

i'm back to fucking bitch after the absense of 6 days. things took an interesing turn. well, not much of that interesting factor if you were to ask me.

well, paulo told the people who are going to poly that matthew the course manager wants to see us. and this morning, he deliberately called, just to remind me that the meeting was today. so i thought maybe i get my pay cheque and just go to school i thought it's just a simple meet and greet section. so much for the naive thinking.

that damn indian was late, told loads of bullshit about the courses and stuff. and re affirming that we made the right choice. paulo once told us, his talks will always last for more than an hour. sure enough, it did. things get a little rushed because the gay lecturer says that there's an important decision for him to make. so when everything ended. he requested to see 3 individual which includes me. the other 2 are because they are transfering school. and me, hair problem.

after the 2 left the room, that indian was rushing to settle some stuff, so he called me to follow him. the minute i left the room. that gay ass bitch motherfucker made a comment.

Gay lecturer : 'nice hair colour you have there'

me : 'thanks' *with a stupid grin*

Gay lecturer : 'do you know that it's totally against the school rule to do this?'

that's when things get out of hand. he started talking shit. yakking like there's no tomorrow. even matthew have to keep quiet and just let him talk. well, who the fuck do he think he is? then he's like a parrot, repeating whatever matthew says and elaborating on it.

and the worst thing is, he picks everything on me. my hp strap is black in colour. then ask since when lanyard in school got black colour. then i showed him my lanyard, then he start yakking say i not from SIT. i'm from the health science block.

everything he said makes me boil. i wouldn't want to go into details.

matthew was actually quite mild tempered but after hearing what he said, he got fed up, he made a statement.

'From tomorrow onwards, if your hair is not acceptable, don't step into the school. and that will cause you to fail in your attendance and eventually, you won't be able to take your final year exam because of your attendance. i will bar you from taking your exams. since you are already going to poly anyway, i don't care. it's none of my problem.'


after that statement, that gay assed bitch motherfucker added pepper and salt. while he was still talking, i turned my back and just leave the staffroom.

seriously, this kind of people should die and just suck other people's cock just to make full use of their mouth. i think the previous life, he's born a mute. that's why he have to keep on talking like there's no tomorrow. i swear to god, everytime i see him, i will do anything bad that comes to my mind. sick ass bitch motherfucker.

and paulo said, really a gay. that's why i keep on calling him gay throughout my post. and through is accent and body language, he's more of a sissy than a gay to me. anyhow anyway, sick assed gay bitch motherfucker. he's name is joel he's one hell of a stupid lecturer of the multimedia department if you want to know.

doesn't things make you wonder how stupid immature people get even though they are at a ripe old age. they can make something which is part of growing up into such a big mess and into such a big fuss.

so thanks to that gay assed sissy, i'm banned from school. and i don't intend to take the final year exam. and i'm not going to quit school until final year exam ends. and when poly starts, then i go back to do the documentary procedures.

what a day.

and i bought excorcism of emily rose despite i watched it like 3 times in theatres. i watched it again yesterday and still get thrills out of it. after 4 times, it's still good. it's a very good movie.

retry

Listening : Devildriver - end of the line

Friday

as much of you guys already know, i got into NYP's multimedia and
infocommunication technology. well i won't say it sucks. i'm just pinning
all my hopes on getting into TP's internet and multimedia development.

as you have known, stubborn me will get means and ways to get to what i
want, so i decided to go down to TP to appeal see if i can get into
IMD. no harm trying, not as if i will lose my place in NYP upon appealing.
so i went ahead with my decision without the permission of my dad.
surprisingly, i had a little conversation with him, he actually let me do
it, without much worries.

went down to appeal with claris, because she wants to appeal to her
favourite course. went through the usual procedure of waiting and
advisement and filling in of forms. blah blah blah. after that went to
peninsula.

it's totally bad luck for claris that clairvoyant records was closed
that day. so went to gramaphone. at least didn't went home empty handed.
she bought a cd and a dvd. after that she went back home.

i went walking around HMV. saw kevin, he was like buying his usual
stuff. then surprisingly, i met meiling. so nice of her to treat me to
drinks. but in the end, due to some reason, i paid the drink partially
myself. like, 3/4 of it. then cai came.

i screwed up myself, met lu jie and biyu for my job interview, but they
are like damn late, so i went ahead with meiling. then in the end, biyu
and lu jie had to go have dinner alone while i accompany meiling to
wait for cai. felt so guilty alright. then after that, went for interview,
pretty much screwed it up. or should i saw the manager screw me up.

then i went ahead with meiling and cai for the career fair. it's not
much of a career fair, everyone's like promoting their course they have
available. not exactly what you think. a CAREER fair. then meiling went
to catch movie with her boyfriend while cai go home. i went home too.

then came back, rest for a while before meeting jerry and zhen ru for
supper. then i'm the one responsible for getting the food, so i went
ahead. 3 dishes and 3 packets of rice, $21.50!!! i thought it went over
the budget but zhen ru say it isn't. it's actually way under what she
expected.

i gave a bear for zhen ru, but it's seems like she doesn't like it. so
we went around taking 'artistic' photos of the bear. then we left it at
a random helmet hanging by a motorcycle. sent zhen ru home. we went
home. it's 2.30am when i reached home.

Saturday

because i'm using my lousy 6510 as my alarm clock, it didn't manage to
wake me up. surprisingly, no one really called more than 1 times. so
heck. stayed at home. slack, then go jerry house for guitar practice and
guitar talk.

went home around 7.15. and here i am sitting down here typing this
shit.

i'm going back to TP on monday because i forgot to bring my result
slip. damn it. fuck it.

i hope i get the job.

--------------------------------------


fucking shit, it's my computer's fault that i can't upload this shit that day. damn it. well just read for your information. going to update another one soon.
