Yet again, havnt been blogging much lately haha so heres a rare update.
Well, to start off, I finally got my new electric guitar :3 to replace the spoilt rotting one i had. Went down to Bras Brasah Complex on sat to buy this jiggie. It cost me 250 bucks but i swear its worth all of the 250. Haha.... other places are selling the same thing are higher prices still haha. The store had a really really friendly owner and chat with another customer who taught me a few more things about guitars. Really interesting shopping experience. Well, heres some photos of the baby
Looks sexy aint it? Under abit of sunlight its actually bluish black but in a rather dark room, it looks completely black, also does when looking at it from the top haha or at least, a darker bluish-black. Under the sun its actually greenish-blue. Will snap a shot of that the next time I get the chance seeing as how its 8pm now and theres no sun haha.

Just a few minor updates before the main highlight:
SA rugby - 2nd
SA girl's soccer - 2nd
Both matches were damn well played. Cheered my heart out and it was fantastic seeing the cat high peeps there too haha... too bad only second )):
Well yeap.... now on to confi camp 2008
Hmm, just had mine last year and was had wanted to join this 1, as a mentor haha, so i did ^^
Went on friday evening, with a small bag, since I would be coming back home on sat and going for softball training. Had a surprise the moment i left the house! Saw Matthew Goh at the busstop outside st nicks. Havn't seen him for such a long time, since he left cat high at sec 2 to join the sports school. He was in my class in primary school and also in sec 1 so it was nice seeing him again. He changed quite alot, very handsome now hahahaha... but still alot like the Matthew i knew, and tall. hahahaha
We caught up alot... apparently hes under a private course now learning health and fitness... well something about sports anyway XD.... yea hes still doing triple jumps and long jumps, even in national team! hahahaha
Was great talking to him again, but we parted soon after. Hope can bump into him again another day hahaha. Eitherways, took the mrt to city hall and went for the camp.
It started out good ^^... and yea, everyone was still in the "reserved" mood but it was great anyways. Played my favourite "have you ever" game :D... the game that i've been trying to play with the sec1's but always couldnt XD. Fantastic game that is.
Then it was praise and worship, wasnt bad ^^. Well the day ended quite fast i suppose.... but it was long before i slept, since had to do lots of misc stuff and all haha. Slept for about 3 hours, woke up at 5 to head down home to get stuff and then go cat high for training. WAS SUPER TIRED. hahaha... managed to survive though. Then headed back haha.
Second day was much more fun! and stressful as well. Buddy pray over was kinda scary and all... but managed to do it ^^ am proud of myself.
Pray over session was great as well haha... and again stressful and scary XD. Oh and Jaslene managed to join us for this ^^
Mainly lights out after this haha... slept at about 4, woke up at around 7 the next day. Prepped for teaching the sec1s as the rest headed down to fort canning. Finished "5 people you meet in heave" in class. fantastic show haha. Joined the rest at fort canning afterwards.
Fort canning was great haha... Im getting lazy to describe the camp.
Anyway, it was fantastic. simply fantastic haha...

Haha, highlights for today:
Went to check out some guitars with elphin today. Met at dhobby before heading down to parklane mall where we found out that the shop we initially wanted to go to was not yet open for buisness and so we walked abit further down to city music ( the same shop i got my amp from ) and there we checked out some guitars. The lin6 models were quite damn good... stores preloaded guitar sounds such as that of les pauls or strats, really cool but was off budget. The sound was really quite good if i can so say myself.
After which elphin wanted to check out an acoustic which we didnt in the end as we diverted to elecs again haha... was chatting with the dude about squire strats... and he recommended this person and boss to me where i could get a really good deal. Plan to call the guy up and see what i can arrange ((: Elphin at this point also decided to discard the idea about getting acoustics and will dive into the world of elecs.
Tested a craftman tele that was quite good if i should say so myself haha.
We headed back to that shop with the mindset to test squires so as to get a better idea of its quality and feel and such. The squire strat was what i tested at first... was quite good. familar sound and good overall feel of the bridge, didnt really like the pickguard by ah well... next was the bullet strat. Was, what i felt the best among the 3 squires i tested that day. The bridge size was good, the feel of it was really comfortable for me and the sound it produced was what i felt the best as well. After that i tested the strat humbuckle. Not a really great leap in sound quality, bigger bridge that i didnt quite like haha. I like the bullet the best but elphin thinks the humbuckle is the best among the squires.
The lady of the store let us try some project guitars. The first was a rather, uncommon guitar made using wood that was sugested to be nato. Totally custom and the sound it produced was really good imo. but its overbudget hahaha... the next was a lespaul look-a-like haha... didnt really produce nice sounding sounds for the type of songs i play but it made a rather good sound for Yui's Life haha.
After which, headed back down to dhobby plaza sing to have lunch. The strawberry milk desert was nice imo. hahaha
Looked around with elphin who wanted to buy some stuff. Headed down after hahaha.... went to starbucks! I got myself a caramel frap grande
looks really tasty doesnt it? ((:
saw this at their counter hahaha... ugly chicken puff and uglier curry puff
If they are ugly, why sell them XD
Played quite a few shooting games ((: stress relievers XD... headed back home afterthat. hahahaha....
smoker moses taken during our learning journey trip haha....
