tuner and capo found!!!!

hurrah!!! found my tuner and capo

very tricky....... not so easy to locate them

look at the picture below and you can understand why:-

both my tuner and capo are kept inside a black case


















after thinking very hard, i was pretty sure it must still be somewhere in the living room

so i guess the only place would be the sofa area

my sofa set is made up of two pieces

the black case fell right into the gap

as it fell vertically upright on the floor between the two pieces, when i look under, it was hard to see it because it was black (which i had previously look under several times)

this time round, i was very very sure it must be there so i spread open the sofa set

presto! saw something black!


















now to avoid the same problem again as black is not a very obvious colour, i have changed to another case:-



















tuner, capo, pencil, eraser and some picks

wtf

very pissed

today purposely spent two hours searching high and low but still cannot find my guitar tuner and my beautiful red kyser capo

haven seen it for about 1-2 weeks

text kev my guitar teacher to ask him to check whether i left it at his place

he text back saying unlikely but he will still check

yesterday i was also pissed.... very very pissed

at mom's place there is a very old guitar which is in bad shape and not playable

but because mom is moving out and going to stay with my big brother H

she asked me to go fix it up

it belonged to my late dad and it is by now an abandoned "child"

as in, not properly stored (it's been kicked around, not even in a case), nobody polish it, and nobody gave it any shit at all nor want to play it

okie, so i noe where to find some luthiers to get it fixed

i called mom (after checking out one luthier) and told her i will get it up to a playable condition

she was so happy and asked me to pick it up from her

and since it is going to be restored to a playable condition, i might as well take possession and give it tender loving care and of coz , use it and play it!!!!

guess what my mom said to me:

she wants me to restore it and then she will give it to my youngest brother J

i dun believe this!!!!!!

look here, i am the guitar player not him!!!!!

he plays the sax!!!!

well this guitar is a vintage electric semi hollow with two f-holes and of coz after restoration it will become somewhat a collectible, actualli by virtue of its age, built and era, it is already a relic (not gibson lah, otherwise my bl***y brother would have brought it to HK long time ago.. that's where he is living permanently now)

wat LJ thing to say to me that after i restore it, she will give it to my brother J!!!!

well, she said that if he does not want it, then i can have it

ok fine, i said, f***, i am not going to spend time restoring it... it is not going to be that easy either because i have to go back and forth, also find a case to transport and store it, test and check, etc... if he wants it, he can go and restore it himself

and there was an argument between me and my mom over the phone

well, i called my sister and she said, yes it belong to my brother J (my dad will his possession to my brother J) but i said, the guitar is already an abandoned child and since he could not be bothered to do anything to it or bring it to HK... i am ok if mom wants to keep it after i restore it but i dun agree it should go to HK with my brother J after i put in time and effort to bring it up to a playable condition, afterall I AM the guitar player but my sister said, just dun do anything, leave it

F*** F*** F***

phil collins - in the air tonight

i luv phil collins... i realli luv this guy

legendary in every way

world class drummer

unique voice

songwriter who can express emotions so well

he performed In The Air Tonight many times but this video may be one of the best live performances he ever gave

the song begins with a hypnotic beat and climaxes with phil on the drums and singing his heart out

i am so going to learn how to play the drums





updated on 4 May 2010

i found one more vid

this one is equally awesome and haunting

just look at the crowd

from the time phil hits the drums at the exact moment until the end of the song, i just stop breathing... it is that entralling

phil collins is a multi-talented genius






read the interesting story behind this song and how the sound was created:

retribution - fact or fiction?

work can get so shitty and dreadful *shake head*

some ppl so @!^%$*&@(#!!!!! (i leave that to your imagination)

nvm, one day he get retribution lah, honest i noe this does happen

deja vu, one time, i was so upset with somebody becoz she was so f****** ngiao, she wants like this like this, like that like that, so one fine day i exploded and screeeaaaamm at her! guess wat, a week later retribution happened to me, i was screamed at by a difficult, unreasonable client, for 8 f****** hours!!!! not onli that, i think i lost an account prolly forever (actualli i also dun care or mind coz it was too time-consuming and full of nonsense)

since then, i have learned that what goes around comes around and do to ppl wat u wan ppl to do to you (the latter is from the bible)... it has made me more human and more considerate for others that no matter how shitty some ppl treat me, i must remain constant

i am grateful for life's real lesson
