i'm a wheel i'm a wheel...

life at work may not be the best all the time, but good things do come along every now and then. recently, we tied up with Skateline so all employees are able to enjoy a 20% discount at the Peninsula branch! heh and that was the final key to ending my 1+ year procastinating spree to get new skates.. made a quick visit there on Tuesday, and picked up the 08 model K2 Moto! yesss now i have my wings once more.... well not exactly wings, but i will be able to fly once more with the new skates... yesssss. gotta get down to relearning how to skate.. haven't done that for some time, but it's like riding a bicycle eh, can't really forget how to do it. hmm now i just gotta figure out what to do with the older ones.. they're virtually fine, just that the wheels and bearings desperately need changing. anyone here wears a US 10.5 skate?

the new K2 Moto '08!

citi life and emo crappers.

Well so today I was going about my usual stuff in the office, dissing people and all like I usually do, and suddenly this person gets all angry and shit like that. so i thought, hmm maybe it might be a good time to stop. you never know when someone's really pissed with you eh? and so throughout the rest of the day i've got the occasional question or conversation with this person, and every single time, i try to say something politely, but i get some angry ass remark back in my face. i'm like.. "oohh someone's pissed at me..."

and so we go on and i realise this person's doing similar to other people as well.. so it's not long before people go like "ohh are you okay? do you need a break? do you need some rest? what's on your mind? are you feeling unwell? do you have something you need to talk about?" and this person just goes "ohh it's nothing i'm just tired.. ohh not enough sleep.. ohhh ohh ohh ohh.."

so here i am, i'm like "..........................."

fuck yo, if you need attention, please find some other means to do it. you're freaking grown up and all, please don't go on some emo trip in front of me just to get the sympathy of others. i'll most likely spit that emo crap back in your face anyway cos i hate emos. ok everyone has a right to be emo and all, but i'm sure there are better ways and times to do it. like in your room at home, alone. no one needs to be there seeing you crap all over yourself. now please go cry in the corner.

that said, i'd better catch some shut eye. no work for me tomorrow! yay! but gotta be at ritz carlton at 8.30am tmr for some customer service course... urgh.. good thing it's on a work day..

Cover of The Trooper by Iron Maiden

a tribute to Iron Maiden, and also my Ibanez PGM3 which I will be selling to a new owner tomorrow, here's a cover of The Trooper!! one of my better attempts, i feel.. heh enjoy!

iResurrect

it doesn't take a lot of reading to notice that i like to come back and post in short bursts at a time, and i think this would be the start of another one.. haha usually when i suddenly start posting again, it most likely means i've got something or someone new in my life that i would like to talk about, and in this case, it would be..

another new guitar.... AAHHAAHHAHA

in fact it's 2 new guitars.

AAHAAHHAHAHA.

first up is the Ibanez PGM3! i bought this cos i had ordered the Edwards CY-165CTM through Davis Guitar, and it was taking a hell of a long time to come in, so i had to buy something to feed the hunger.. problem is, it turned out to be such a nice instrument to play that i'm considering keeping it, but that would mean too many guitars in my house.. urgh. so here it is! great looking guitar, great neck, great feel, just that the pickups could be swapped for better ones.. not that i would, seeing as to how i might eventually sell this since the arrival of my Edwards..





and of course, next up would be my Edwards CY-165CTM, which took a total of FIVE months to arrive since my order. i'm not blaming the people at Davis Guitar though, they're real nice chaps (most of the time) and the fact that they brought it in at such a good price more than makes up for the wait. now people are always talking about dream guitars and shit like that. this comes real close to that..
quilted maple top, neck-thru design, abalone bindings all round the body, neck and headstock, vine inlays, satin finish for the neck's back, gold Gotoh hardware, original Floyd Rose bridge, 2 great Seymour Duncan pickups, and 27 frets!! omgwtfbbq. but seriously though, Edwards has once again shown how much effort they put into making a great guitar, while still making it totally affordable. at least they're not soaking in the grandeur of their own name *coughGIBSONcough* and producing instruments at ridiculous prices.. anyway what better way to welcome the guitar to the family than to create a video with it! heh below you will find a shameless cover of Man on the Silver Mountain by Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow.. along with some pics!




my 2 prized Edwards guitars!



and of course, the Man on the Silver Mountain.. haha some screw ups here and there, and my phone started ringing at the end of the video.. lol
