  • washburn- guitar #3

    the other day renee complaint i start
    my blog with "ok" too much....

    well... not exactly complaint la... just commented...;p

    so heres me not starting my blog with ''ok''...
    hehe

    ok, ;p so continuing from my previous blog....
    i said sth bout changing into a diff instrument...

    thts not exactly true... well... basically... i started playing electric guitar... most of u prob think... thts exactly the same as accoustic guitar... just tht.. its electric now?! haha...
    but for those who plays guitar knows tht its vry vry different... the sound is diff... the method of playing is diff... the things u play for the same song will be different too...

    anyway.... yea... and so......................

    i bought this from singapore....




    its not a vry good electric guitar.... but its far from crap....

    its quite average...i guess. i think if i remember correctly... it prob cost bout s$800....

    i was quite happy with it... but tuning it was a pain in the ass... because of the fine tuning system they use.... its vry vry hard to tune....



    the original sound of the guitar without effects was nicely distorted.... hhaha... so i liked it....

    but then....... i left for uk........ and of cos... just like everything else.... after couple of months without using it.... it started to rust....


     
    ...
    ..................
    ..............................
    .................
    ...

    and soooo.......
    i was in uk.... without a guitar....
    and from my facebook quiz.... u know tht i cant leave without my guitar.....haha....

    and sooo............................
    ..............

    ok... so i got this guitar when i was primary 6....



    i know i know..... u guys prob laughing at me tht this a yamaha "fake"...cos its "yamaDa"...lol... and it only cost rm800... not bad for a electric-accoustic guitar... ??

    no....!!!!

    haha.... it was actually completely crap... it is the worst guitar i ever owned....
    but then again... its the 1st guitar my dad bought for me.... cant complaint i guess...



    well.... dont look down on this guitar.... just only after a yr of hvin it.... (when i was in form 1).... i already won competitions... well... it was a song composing competition... i didnt sing...haha... just played the guitar while some of my frens sang....



    but still.... saying all tht.... this guitar is completely crap...haha..... when i was in form 3.... the body's shape started to distort....

    but i was getting into another intrument by then........ again!!!.....

  • kuan's bday....... well................ 'sort of'

    ok, so it wasnt exactly kuan's bday.... lol... well... it was the 12th sept... not too bad i guess.... like a week after his actual bday....
    we sort of accidentally unintentionally celebrated his bday....

    ok... let me start from the begining.....
    sarah (and serena)....
    this girl......
    ...........
    ....
    .

    and this girl


    introduced me to this shop famous for cakes (especially brownies).....



    .... wat i didnt know was that it has no sitting area..... its not those kind of cake cafes..... its just a bakery purely for ppl to buy their cakes and bugger off...

    so one random day(12th sept) ... few of us (me, lester, kuan, robin and baby aka ah fatt) had sweet cravings... straight away i thought of this place.... so when we got there.... there werent any brownie slices left... the only choice we hv is to buy some other random cake slices or the whole cake of brownie....

    and so.....
    we bought

    yupppp...lol

    ok.... now let me explain the candles.... so we went to upperstar right.... but they wont allow 'outside food' to be brought in.... so we pretended we were celebrating kuan's bday.....

    we actually sang bday song and everything..... well... it worked out quite well.... we manage to get away with.... cake was pretty good... wont say its the best in my life... but def the best in kk i recogn...

    so...... next time u guys lookin for brownies in kk..... damai, sweet daily... ^^

    thts all for now.... will try to think of sth more interesting to blog next few days.....

  • 1st guitar

    ok.. this the deal... couple of months ago i created a facebook quiz... "how well do you know ME? :D"

    and one of the question is "how many guitars do i hv?"
    haha..... apparently.... nobody got tht question right.....

    most ppl say 1 or 2.... nearest was 3... cant remembered who "guessed" 3 liao....

    anyway, next few weeks i'll be posting all 5 guitars up one this blog.... (one by one of cos)

    and this was my 1st guitar.... like ALL 1st 'things' 0.0 .... its always special.... lol.....

    this was my dad's classical guitar since his uni life in manchester... yup..!!! thts right.... its 30 over yrs old....
    he passed me this guitar in primary 4 just about the same time i told him i hated organ which i hv been learning for 3 yrs....??

    obviously.... after spending a bomb on an organ which was (to be honest) wasted... he wasnt willing (yet) to buy me a new guitar.... (esp right after i told him i hated organ which he spent alot of money on)

    so yea.... this was my 1st guitar.... a G-120 yamaha classical guitar........

    and so.... i began my guitar lessons in technics (a music school in twu).......

    and after 3 months....................................
    .................................
    ...............
    ....
    .
    TAAA DAHHHHH!!!!!!
    I WAS A PRO GUITARIST....!!!!!!!

    HAHA......
    no!!!!!
    actually.....
    i told my dad i hated the guitar lessons.......... LOL......



    well.... i said i hated the lessons...... but not playing guitar...
    so wat i did was i learnt to play it myself....
    i bought a chords book... get some song sheets and cds.... and just started trying-to-play..... strumming..... chords.... plucking... and all tht......



    and after 2 years!!! of learning by myself with a crappy guitar.............................................
    ........................

    to be continued....
