add colour to life with some blues.

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
But I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me,testing me

this should be it. this is how i'll keep pushing myself. just that what i want is more than water, and what i'll be going through is not fire.

yesterday was totally good.

1. got this new fish oil, its some double strength fish oil from gnc. upgrade from the salmon oil that i've been having and should taste much better in case i break the soft capsule since its lemon flavoured.

2.got this swatch for dad that cost $200 plus, i need to pay 60 and my sis pay the rest(:

3.picked up a boss ds-1 modded by randolf in 2006. im gonna get rid of my current stock ds-1 that dont sound half as good. the blue led is just so sexy. now i'll need white knobs to go with it, so dropping by a guitar store soon again! its meant to go with my gibson, but the jm should sound good though i havent tried yet.

4. im studying hard again, i want AAA/A on my results and not ABC/?. the '?' is for the econs grade that i havent get yet. no tuition, i can only help myself by working harder.

From Online Edits

this is the only common thing that peeps in S02 can talk about. even with our teachers.

i'll tell you, when you have a craving for burgers, skip macs, for they only serve up some lousy quality stuff. feeling abit richer this week, i dropped by the botak jones outlet that's near my place again at about 3plus for lunch. its a takeaway order of course, the sun out there is pretty terrible these few days. so i asked for a double cheese burger, thats what i'll order at macs when im poor. at botak jones, 'double cheese burger'='The Double Botak'. i know the price is 6times (or twelve dollars) of the double cheese at macs, but its a hundred times better. wait, thats an understatement. its super super super super super tasty with a super huge pile of beef that i wont call it a patty anymore though its still one. need pics to show how massive it is? sure thing(:

From food!

this(above) is the burger being cut open, i wont be able to fit it into my mouth given its size. its double patty, double cheddar cheese(thats the real stuff), one bun and quite abit of tomato+lettuce+onion. the cheese looks much better actually, cos all of it got stuck onto the top of the box and i have to scrape it back onto the meat.

just look at how thick the patty is, you can barely see the soggy bread(due to all the juices) that should be sitting painfully under it.

oh and i've got a row of my customer appreciation card full once again, so if you peeps want to get a free side when you eat at botak jones, call me along! really its 'damn good food at a damn food price'. totally worth it(: now im happy, its guitar time. voodoo child yeah! have a nice weekend ahead and study hard!

well well, results this time are not that bad, except for some parts.

chem was a jump from D to A. miss jasmine tan here's my A, there's no more D!
math up by a grade to B
physics down by one to C (i dont like this)

if all goes well for econs, i'll need a pass to hit 70rp with pw included. keep working for my straight As for the A's.

and to the dude who blew/toasted/totalled your friends mesa, good luck in finding an amp tech to fix it. these stuff dont come anything lesser that 3k!

alright, i'll do a full recount on what went on during the saturday session. with some help of course, i dont really remember everything that happened. the alcohol had a perfect score.

theres basically 2 parts to it.

PART I: DINNER

there's about 8 dishes. our dear vietnamese dood was the first to cook, its the simplest dish of all and had some tinge of breakfasts back there in the mountains last year. from outside when we were playing 'taboo', its the kitchen that's smokin'. but looking out from the kitchen, its a different story.

then there's chicken with rosemarry and thyme that john and i prepared, i did most of the stuff.
minced meat with the olive veg thing by gen.
melodie's veg that has all the stuff see and crabsticks that john couldnt find though its all over the place.
and all the rest for a good meal enough to feed 12.

PART II: HIGH TIME(:
okay here's how the thing goes. our dear host(melodie) came up with this thing called the circle of death, its a (drinking)game. this should give another meaning for poker cards to the gambling kings of s02. you'll have to drink if you fail at any point.

if you get a:
A: you have the power to ask anyone to drink
2: the thumb thing that will catch you totally off guard when you cant even walk straight
3: pushup postions (ocip training camp style-we're at the discipline ic's place)
4: 4sips, i'll call this 4gulps.
5: rhyming time!
6: pick a category
7: 7-up
8: 'i never'
9: fruits memory game
10: complimentary toilet trip
J: come up with a new rule
Q: the queens will drink
K: the kings will drink

on the menu for the night was JIMBEAM WHITE and 42below MANUKA HONEY VODKA!
when we havent started on out game yet, we thought it would be good to take a photo before anything happens and we get knocked out.

From 190909 at melodie's

shortly after, the yellow sofa that 5guys sat on gave way. so we tried to fix it.

From 190909 at melodie's

and we end up sitting on the floor.

From 190909 at melodie's

here’s when the real party starts, look at all the stuff going into the yellow cup. that’s my cup (:

From 190909 at melodie's

the pushups that i don’t really recall doing

From 190909 at melodie's

and the best prize for doing the stupidest thing goes to PETER GOH! he crawled under the guys to look for john, so taupok was the best prize he deserves!

From 190909 at melodie's

halfway, we're dying already.

From 190909 at melodie's

im still alright, look that the noobcake behind.

and the superwonderful thing that was partly the cause of all the above and what's to come the next morning.

From 190909 at melodie's

wait, theres a third part to this. which is the next morning
PART III: 20092009
dead after puking in the toilet and spending most of the night in the kitchen. other known 'casualties' are melodie and john. next time, we need more control. but with alcohol, all else fails.
heres a detailed one, so enjoy this and bookmark it or print it or save it somewhere to help you survive the 7weeks to come.

after last night, lots of fun, games, good music, laughter and over a hundred bucks worth of alcohol. and only slept from about 4am to 8am and qt in the morning with everyone not exactly sure what they are praying about.

the john mayer guitar is sweet, the tone is ahhhh....
and i heard fender is working with john mayer again to create a replica of his strat called 'the black one'. and gibson on the other side gonna produce jimi hendrix guitars. there's something to look forward to in 2010-2011.

part 2 comes today at melodie's place, tired but still looking forward to it. enjoy your day and have fun.

JOHN MAYER SIGNATURE STRAT!

friday is new guitar day!

well, first i've gotta say this, though its not over yet. thank you prelims for wearing me out like this, i love you all these tough-like-hell-papers (math and physics and econs) to bits.

on thurs, im gonna stock up on abit of jack daniels and 42below and coke. thats for abit of fun on friday night, sorry this is a private event (:

jmstrat+gibsonlespaul+wahwah+alcohol+nighttime-sleep=absolute fun!

saturday night would be something to look forward to as well. hope things would turn out much better for the days to come.

keep fighting this losing battle, at least wont look that defeated.

after getting the jm next week, i think i have in mind whats on my buying list next year.

amp: orange ad30htc + matching speaker cabinet = something in excess of 2k.
pedal: xotic ac booster 315, hope the price would drop. and maybe a vintage boss ce-2, the jap kind.
guitar: im not sure yet, have to see how my taste changes. for gibson would be a 339, lp standard or custom or a r8. fender would be a rory gallagher tribute strat or a 62' RI in white.

projected rig expansion budget for 2010: $6000 (: 2010 is guitar shopping year!

xotic ac booster

From Gibson

im so tempted to get this, i badly need a replacement for my current overdrive.
who can spare me 300bucks? i'll pay the balance myself.

i dont know why when you do that, it hurts so much.

a sneak peek at what's gonna sit with my les pauls in just about 2more weeks (:
