so how was your week?

ok lets see what has happened so far last week.

monday: bought guitar

tuesday: Played the guitar and found buzzing sounds and that some notes go off key when i pluck . so i asked ryan * who is from ub, same batch and stays at the same condo as me* to have a go at my guitar to check if there was really a problem with it. you see, my previous guitar was a classical 1 and does not have those problems, maybe these sounds are normal for an acoustic guitar? ryan played it a while and said that i was not imagining things; there is really a prob with the setup. sigh.

wednesday: ESL mid term. It was raining so heavily that the giant canal near my house almost flooded over. the bus came very late. i waited for like 25 mins for my bus to come. after boarding the bus still got jam -.- as a result king, ryan and me were about 30 mins late for the midterm. luckily our teacher is dam slack 1; she dun have any time limit for the paper. just hand it up when done. Ryan was not so lucky though, he went to class with only 1 hour to finish his 1000 word essay =/

thursday: Ben drove me to the guitar shop after the music class. i told the person about the problems with the guitar. then he played the guitar and said "it sounds fine to me".

So i took the guitar and SHOWED him the problem.

then he said " that is because u pluck too hard, if i use a $2000 guitar it will have the same problem. OUR guitars are setup to have maximum playability as our strings are positioned very carefully to be of a certain distance from the fret board"

so i told him that of cos he can play the guitar so softly here because its a small enclosed place so he dun have to play it so loud. i also told him how my friend *ryan* who has been playing the guitar for 6 over years tell me that its not normal.

He then said " well, then there must be a problem with how u and ur fren play the guitar"

i was like wtf?? i dunno wad to say liao. so i just said " well can u just do something about it? cos it is really bothering me"

then the guy said " alright if u really want to sacrifice the playability of the guitar to remove the buzzing then its ur call.."

wah. talk about poor customer service... now i understand wad ryan was saying when he told me he lost all confidence in Singapore's music shops..

Anyway, i went to watch toy story 3: 3D preview in the evening. im lazy to summarize it (did that in esl class yesterday zzz) so i will just rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars. which means watch it if u have the time. if not.... DOWNLOAD IT. lol. but there was 1 part which appealed to me.... hint UFO machine hehehe

oh and the guitar shop smsed me that my guitar has been fixed and is ready for collection.

Friday: Ok end of the week!! i was a bit irritated on friday because of the sudden changes in plans. You see, me, ws and gang had already planned to eat suki ya's buffet at marina square. so i told my other friends that im not free on friday night and told my parents not to prepare dinner for me. And then all of a sudden they decide not to go out for dinner. I dunno about u guys but its very annoying when this kind of things happen.

anyway i needed to travel to citihall anyway to collect my guitar. So ben said he could drop me off at newton mrt. on the way there, ws called and ask if i wanted to eat dinner. so after a few calls and all we ended up in marina square eating JUST ASIA. The food portion there is quite big, and there is still free flow ice cream and drinks!


This is beef lol
this whole thing is mine *no space for rice and soup* about 17 dollar with gst

Oh anyway, when i went to collect my guitar, the big boss was there. he told me that the neck was pulled too far back for some reason and that is why there the the problem with the sound. He agreed with me that the buzzing was really bad when i sent it in. i feel like KICKING THE ASS of the guy who told me the problem lies with my playing style -.-

Saturday and Sunday: Nothing interesting. My whole Saturday was spent studying accounting with boon *thanks for teaching me!* the the whole Sunday was spent working on my econs project and doing my music journals. quite proud of myself for doing so much actually =)

Monday: nothing much. oh econs class let us off early today =) but then i had to rush home to chiong my essay for my music mid terms. did all the way till 12 30 am zzzz

Today: No school yay!!!! and i finally have time to blog =) still got alot of stuff to do though. english summary, accounting homework, econs project, econs mid terms...zzzzzzzz
