but anyway, as most of us know, the Swee Lee Music Company mid-year sale at Bras Basah Complex was on the 1st of July.. only recently in fact. and so i thought that maybe going there at 6pm the previous day might have been a good idea as the queue would be building up. shocking though, as the queue was already up to the escalator when i got there at 6. for god's sake the shop's still god damned open, and you're queueing outside already? god damned singaporeans.
so i decided to queue along with alf.. as both of us were intent on getting our new guitars and some other stuff.. i must say that was one of the longest nights i've ever had the displeasure of enduring. luckily seetoh came in at 2am to join in the fun, with effects pedals on his buy list. and so it went on.. till about 7.30.. the door opens! the staff go in!! and everyone stands up! so we had no choice but to stand up too, if we wanted to maintain our place in the queue.. the idiots!! little did we know that we would be standing till about10 before we even got to enter the shop..
and finally, we all got in, muscled our way to our guitars, grabbed them before anyone did, and headed for the queue.. now the most screwed up thing about sales like these is that everyone buys tons of stuff.. so here we were queuing to pay in a line of about 30 people, and everyone's paying for shitloads of stuff.. another 2 hours of queuing.. JUST TO PAY.
but anyway, at the end of the day, i ended up with my fender stratocaster, alf got his fender highway 1 stratocaster, and seetoh got his pedals.. so all's well.. after about 18 hours... but i guess it was worth it.. considering that i managed to pick up my new prized guitar.. mmmmm yesss with a floyd rose bridge too.... mmmm...
the Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS with the Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo.
my precioussssss.....
