latest bites :)

I've realised why i should'nt change my blog layout and stick with the customized layouts done by blogger. New layouts from blogskins.com makes my life more difficult than ever. I can't even edit the HTML codes through the blogger's new tool, thus this new layout will remain as it is.

I still felt dejected and frustrated when I saw the price tag for the Ibanez JEM. How in the world would I be able to afford it? A couple of weeks ago, I went for my first day of work, thinking that at the end of the month I would be able to save up enough to buy that guitar.

"Finally, a job that is reliable and stable."

Fresh out of school, I thought having a job would be good before enlisting into the army. I went there with abit of over-enthusiasm because I was bent on working to my objective, my new electric guitar.

Still grinning, I decided to drop by at Swee Lee Music Store at Bras Basah Complex after work. I just could'nt stop thinking about it. My fanactism was so powerful that I could'nt control the urge of going there. I fantasized about how I would be able to produce the colourful, warm and thick tone Steve Vai always manages to produce.

There it was, gleaming in its whiteness. The pine tree of life on the fretboard was glowing, as if it was motioning me over. Its surreal scream and tone transcends all of human imagination.

Then, I saw this piece of paper hanging on the tuning pegs. It was'nt supposed to be there. I thought if this were to be part of the guitar, then it would be a fashion disaster for the looks department. The content on the paper seems to be clearer with every blink of my eyes.

It was like how a boy would feel when a girl rejected him. That feeling of lost, unwanted and broken soon overwhelmed me.

Tears soon welled up in my eyes...
