I just realised i haven't blogged for abt 2 weeks. No big deal to me seriously, but i guess it matters to those who often visit. Hmm.

So i had exams. Been mugging constantly (very subjective phrase) for the past 2 weeks, squeezing tiny words into my helpsheets and my scribbling nonsensically for my mind maps. And today is the first time in 3 years that i wrote essays. And one shot, i vomited 6 pages of total nonsense. Each page is worth 10 marks for my final grade. How risky.

The thing abt Uni vs A's/O's? The weightage of the paper is in chinese "Yi ge tian, yi ge di". For ur A's and O's, u have paper 1, paper 2, paper 3....all the way to paper 5 (kaoz), and the totals add to abt 200-300 marks. As such each mark counts for like less than 1%? Can just make careless mistakes all over the place la. Kinda. And i'm a careless mistake guy.

But Uni different....my stats mcq 1 qns 1.5%...my changing landscapes essay paper each mark counts for 1%. This means if u tikam wrongly u die... u blur out for ur essay... u die also. Now i bopi Guan Yin Ma aka the Goddess of Mercy to have mercy on me, so tt i wun flunk my changing landscapes. I've already gotten a C for the project. (Alison: Sure A one la! *BALLS TO U*)

2 more weeks to silly gal's bday. Kinda think of it, she's gonna turn 21. But sometimes she still behave like 16 yr old. And she looks like 16 yr old too. Hmm. Whatever the case, i have something for u. Just hope it turns out the way i want it to be. I hope. This surprise, shld be kickass-y enuff to kick ur ass this time. Haha. Maybe not.

I realised i've splurged on quite abit of stuff lately. Just collected my tix for the Dream Theater concert. It's gonna be a 3 1/2 hrs shredfest, and only the best tix is deserving for my heroes. Sorry Kai, but i tried to jio u already. U just fail to listen each time. Now no more front row tix already la. NA NE NA NE PU PU.

And yea, Kai got me.. eh pui, i bought myself a Slash figurine from Mcfarlane Toys. One of my guitar heroes as well, in his classic pose with his Les Paul guitar and Marshall half-stack. Wicked shit. Here's a pic of how it looks like:

Yea, sorry huh my webcam's resolution is not good enuff, but heck. This pic is more than enuff. Captures the classic essence of Slash. Mmm, Les Paul.

Hmm, what else is new in my room.. Ah the Maestro acoustic tt my family got me for my bday. Really good stuff, good construction and good sound. Everyone in hall just can't stop coming over to play it. Kinda. Here's the specs for all u gear whores:

1. Stitka spruce solid top
2. Grover Tuners
3. B band 3.2 pickups
4. TUSQ saddle
5. Indian Rosewood fretboard
6. Maple Grand Auditorium cutaway body
7. And some others which i forgot

Unfortunately, i've been playing too much with it to take solid pictures of it. Yea i'm not so cam whore like (U noe who u are la molel. Dun need me to say names), yea so until the day i decide not to play it for a while then i might kop the camera from Kai and snap something.

Apparently after playing on the acoustic for abt 2 weeks, my finger strength increased by alittle, but it's something i can feel it. Now i can really fly on my electric but still sound clean. Mmm, acoustic trains ur fingers i guess. Like what Livideye said. (Up till today i still dunno his name). Been learning this song I Believe from tt My Sassy Girl. Yea quite a kickass cheat girl. Thanks Jian Yu for lending me the tabs, now i can go cheat all the girls in hall already. Wahaha. What a wonderful plan. Maybe i shld do a recording. But the bridge part can't catch leh. Shall try to be more receptive and try to learn it again i guess.

Holidays are coming, but technically speaking, IVP has choped 1,3,5 6pm. So tt leaves me free on 2,4,6,7. I think hall training will be on 2,4,6 ba. So technically tt leaves sunday free. Hmm, then maybe on those hours tt has no training i'll work heavily on the fretboard. So there goes my holiday kinda. Well this holiday is gonna determine whether basketball > guitar or the other way ard. This differentiation is very impt to me, as i can only set my mind to do one thing at a time.

And so we shall see.
