it's 2am now in the fricking morning. i regret sleeping earlier.. i slept like at 8pm and now i find myself wide awake and there's still 2 fucking prelim papers tomorrow. argh fuck math... the setters of the paper made it so fuckin hard! tmr's paper 2 and it's gonna be like doubly hard. my room's so cold.. it feels like as if i'm in snow. and i feel really hungry but i'm not gonna eat now because i found out that eating late night snacks have links with my sleeping problems. fuck that. my aunt's going to New York this weekend and i got her to search for my new guitar strap there.. from Sam Ash Music.. i seriously hope they have stock for Black colored ones... other colors of that strap suck. it'll make it look gay with a red strap or a purple one. really need to keep my fingers crossed. i'm willing to fork out like up to S$50 for this strap because of its looks and comfort. while you can get any other regular cotton strap in singapore for like S$6. i went on search of a new guitar strap last week.. on a friday and was feeling like shit. Davis Guitar said they were all sold out. WeeLee music co, had the strap but it came in an ugly assortment of colors plus a much uglier pattern of a dragon on it. yuck. then fuck it i went back home. i googled for it and found a local site sellin the straps i wanted.. so i set out on a saturday morning to that shop. it was a pretty grand shop... it sold only guitars with big names and obviously they werent cheap. the cheapest one is most probably the Ibanez one which was like a S$1000+. im using a cheapo Ibanez model myself but i upgraded the pickups for an additional S$300. im gettin sick of Ibanez models. in terms of looks, i find it downright boring.. it's like.. this is the standard shape of every guitar out there. the shop boasted big names such as Gibson and Fender.. and the cheapest guitar you can get by those brands would cost at least $2000+ or $3000+ im not sure. but till now, i still dont understand why those guitars so pricey. duh i know that they're handcrafted and made in the US that's for sure.. but other than that what's the deal? well in a gibson LP standard, almost everything is great, the shape, feel, pickups, bridge.. but i strongly feel that the reason for its high price is its name. same concept as buying branded accessories out there in the shopping world. Like products from Prada, Louis Vuition and bla bla i know shit about those stuff but i know they cost a bomb. and yea, it's for the name and also quality too.. anyway, back to what i was saying. i was the guitar shop, and there was no one around. the guy who was in it earlier went out for a smoke or somethin, only left with a lady assisant in the room. i can say she's pretty!! man i dont have a thing for older women but she really is pretty.. i estimate her age to be around 25-28 years old. most probably she's the wife or girlfriend of that man earlier. then i asked her for the strap, and she said, "yes we have diMarZio cliplock straps." i was happy for that second until she said, "but we only have them in red, green and purple." i felt pissed. Black is the greatest color and almost every shop doesnt have them. the reason why i liked this strap a lot is also because, many great bands in the US uses them. I recently noticed. i went to see live pictures of band's such as Saosin, MCR, Avenged Sevenfold and i see all of them using this same strap. recently i went back to talking to mom again. this time.. she rocks. she has agreed to buy the guitar i wanted. but on one condition... i wont be able to play it until the Os are over. she called up the Australian distributor but sadly, she told me they were out of stock and would only come in most probably in 2 weeks time. i wasnt discouraged.. i got her to search for this guitar in a local shop.. she said the shop originally had them but they were sold out yet again. and the stock would come probably only in 2months.. fuck 2 months! but the price difference is great though between buying the guitar online and locally. The Australian shop was selling it for AUS$1090 but since they ship it to singapore, it would be even more expensive. This local shop said that it would most probably be around S$980. it's much cheaper! i find buying stuff in Australia is really much more expensive than buying in the US. im dying for this guitar.. so i'll be patient and wait for the stock to arrive locally. im so gonna use this guitar specially for Saosin songs and the other guitar as a backup. http://www.schecterguitars.com/spec.asp?id=21 this is guitar by the way. the shop has a Tempest Custom right now, that guitar looks rad with it's unique design and it costs about the same but the only thing holding me back from buyin it is its color. its only available in white. i dont like bright colors on guitars. black would always be the best. check out this black tempest custom. http://www.schecterguitars.com/spec.asp?id=52 the gold finish on the bridge makes it simply awesome. by i do not like the pickups though. i prefer Duncan JBs. i hope that 2 months would pass quick. i just cant wait to have these lovely guitars. somemore good stuff yet to come this weekend. this saturday i would get a new game for my psp. finally a new game! i've had this pretty little gadget since February 2005 and all i had was just 2 pathetic games. finally now the gaming industry has come up with 2 really worth-buying titles. and the one im gettin this saturday isnt cheap. fucking $78. but hey this game really rocks. i've seen countless videos of it. and it had a really good review too. the other game rocks too b ut the the only downturn is the language. the entire game's in japanese but the gameplay owns. but i wont be gettin that game this week sadly. financial problems. i have like $180 now. $80 is set for that game this weekend, plus $50 is set aside of the new guitar strap(if my aunt could find that is) so i have like $50 left for my needs, such as movies, food etc. man i'm gonna be real poor this weekend. this sunday im also goin for an open house of the only japanese high school in sg. i think i have said about this before haha. this coming weekend would be one of the greatest weekends in this year haha. i think i have lost weight recently.. over the past 2 weeks. because of my money-saving scheme.. i have been skipping lunch over a period of about 10 days, to get $180. and i dont think it's worth it for just $180. if it's $300 i wont mind. fuck the last time i took my weight in school was in June, in the mornin durin P.E. after i had a heavy breakfast and i weigh merely 50kg or so. i think im about 48 kg now. shit. better start feasting soon to put back some weight. yum. i'm thinking of ordering pizza tmr.. been ages since i last ate a pizza slice. talking about pizza, now i feel even hungrier. im about 3 hours away from waking up to go to school. there is this weird shit happenin when i usually having my lunch at the mall downstairs lately. this girl and this guy, kept grinning and giggling among themselves when i was having lunch alone at the fast food outlet.and they obviously laughing at me. they done this a couple number of times. these people are from hg sec by the way. the shitty school. i wonder what the fuck is so funny about me. is it my hair??? because sometimes i have a couple of strands standing upright behind my head when my hair is really dry. i dont understand these people. then the girl whom i formally "liked", that ghost-fair girl, that i used to put up her pics, was still like afraid of me. i saw her a number of times with her clique and they all gave me this cold stare from afar and walked off. life is full of questions. like why this odd behaviour? like as if i've done something bad to you or what. i frequent the KFC downstairs my place so often they all knew what i always ordered. haha. wah im beginniin to feel real tired already. nite.
