Where did the hair go?

My hair is short now, now i have to adjust, ALOT, to my new (old) hairstyle again. Brings back memories, about how i hated my hair in the past, but now its time to face it. Real scary when i looked at the floor, and the hair on the ground is a few times more than the hair on my head.

"Rejoice at what you gained, instead of mourning on what you lost. Its a balance."
At least i made the world a slightly happier place.

Time is running out

Finally!! I woke up with a serious headache today, and didn't know why, I worried myself to sleep last night as my guitar was at the clubhouse and they were going to clean the clubhouse this afternoon and i didn't know how. When i woke up, i had a headache.
And just! Just when i typed out the title for this post i remembered my dream, I had three assignments due for this holiday and i didn't have enough time to finish them, that probably gave me the headache.
The assignments, were part of the dream, the headache, was real.
Time is running out. Muse:)

Wrenched Heart

And its me and my weakness again, a salesperson was called while i was working and she spoke to me, so eager to sell her product that she had no idea how was i feeling, how uninterested and annoyed i was. 'So thick skin..', i thought, but somehow i couldn't bear to reject her. She took every opportunity to talk and squeeze in information about her product, that made me feel sorry.

Musical Day

Its pass 12 so its saturday now, officially been 3 weeks since i got my girl, ha. Will be performing tomorrow, at the red dot museum at Tanjong Pagar, for the project exhibition of the graduating students. Its quite cool to perform though, except for some hiccups along the way like wrong passing down of info, late notifications, last minute changes, inaccurate information, bad service, no respect, casually treated, having no way but to compromise, seen as an obstacle, etc. No, im not angry, just listing what happened out for fun.. ha. Yea but we did not do many things well though, which im quite mad at, putting on airs, acting spoilt..

Enough of that, it has been a musical day, in a sense for me. I reached the clubhouse in the morning and finally got to have some real fun with my multi effects which i just got 3 days ago, i got a display set so it looked shabby but it functioned well. It may be nooby but im glad im finally able to do part of the intro for Sweet Child O Mine! hahaha! yay. It sounded like it, cos of the effects and the nice mixer with the speaker. Then after that was time to shift the equipment, some hiccups occurred, which led to us sitting outside LT73 at level one with all our equipment, which led to us playing noisily with the drums at level 1. Then i got the guitar out to play, and had some fun, and the thin E string broke. After long waiting the transport(equipment transport) people came and took our equipment away. They were interesting though, they all smoked while waiting for their pickup to come, one played with the guitar and another played with the drums! Weird to see these workers doing this, but i was glad they seemed to have fun.

Next, as the transport ppl were equipment transport ppl, we took a cab there, and the driver, was awesome. He asked about what were we going to do and we said perform, and to our surprise, he was quite a good singer, he played the song 黄昏 on a cd and sang along to it, and Steve and I harmonised him, haha, and he told us that he used to be a drummer and he had a band in the past, with his lead guitarist now playing in 黄金年华. He asked about harmonising and was impressed with Steve, and asked us how he sung. He showed us Beyond, and i was impressed with that, cos i heard them before, but the did not sound that great, but this time, i got a little touched emotionally and Steve had goosebumps just hearing to their awesome track.

This is getting long. You might not have read what i wrote above. It was a really tiring day. But it was one really fruitful one.

Point Break

How far can skills go? Is it too late to start? Dont care! Just start and keep on going. Just have to see where i am going. Been trying out some stuff on my guit, but seems that i cant play fast enough. Really hope the speed will develop through time, just have to visualise myself playing..

Quite stuck, been trying to write a song for the graduating batch of students from my course. 'Just enjoy doing it..' After all, we should have fun in what we do. My style of songs, singing, lyrics.. Would they match with what the lecturers want? Have to play safe to cater to as wide an audience as i can, and a VIP too, I'll not compromise though, just be flexible... I can do it!

Here she comes

Call it overcoming barriers and odds, especially for a guy who thinks too much, getting a guitar could seem like marrying a girl, or actually asking a girl out(depends on what kind of guy you are like). And im that kind that keeps dragging and procrastinating, considering who to pick, and i realise that getting a guitar, to me, is really choosing the right one that lasts me a long long time.

And finally i got her, she's a Washburn guitar, X series, black in colour(you can see above). Taken by my phone camera, so its nowhere good. Man i was thinking so much about getting a guitar that i didn't think about what to do with it after that, but i've been thinking alot these few days, and many many ideas keep popping up, which is seemingly endless, again. Seek and i shall find! haha..
