Hmm..

Hello!
Its been ages since i last blog huh?
Damn it! I'm losing my readers!
But come to think of it, who would really want to read about the life of an average joe?

Anyway, i stumbled onto this website which amazes me because it really do justice to my motto, "Think Simple". Simple diagrams like them speaks more than i write on this post. Go and visit it @ http://www.indexed.blogspot.com .

I finally bought a new guitar. Unfortunately it isn't Ibanez JEM. My guitar belongs to the family of Ibanez Prestige series. Although its pickups are stock pickups from Ibanez, i love its tremolo lock. Beautiful, sexy and well polished, the Edge Pro tremolo lock is not to be messed with. It keeps ur strings in tune even after hours and hours of wanking with the whammy bar.

Headstock of my new axe. You can see my tremolo lock.















My axe's bed!














The bridge part of the tremolo lock. I know its not parallel to the body but luckily the tech guy helped me fix this.















Welcome to the family, heh.














Well, of course like every new stuff i bought, i have difficulties using the guitar initially. This machine is more complex than my old guitar because my old guitar is a fixed bridge while my new one is a floating bridge. Therefore, tuning the strings is a hassle and takes more time now and when changing a new set of strings, i have to be extra careful because im using more tools to change. When i first started using it, i have to tune it every 30 mins and it was extremely annoying but soon after it got better after the guitar tech guy taught me the essentials. =D

Ok, enough of guitars lah. I'm always talking about guitars, music and more music and it probably bore most of you off because i know you want to know more about my life. haha! Anyway, clement and I are going to work for the last week next week. I've never regretted going there to work and in fact im so grateful to be there. Besides the experiences gained from there, it has also showed me that the society is not that bad as it seems. The people are so nice, really nice(maybe because we are still kids, heh) but we do quarrel with them but in a more slap-stick manner, like Dilbert comics and the office show on arts central.

Probably going back there when i finish NS.

Anyway, i watched 2 new films this month. Both of them pretty sucked


I know nothing about Ghostrider being a character from Marvel comics but that doesnt mean i will not understand the movie. The movie has an extremely lousy plot and besides Nicholas Cage, i dont like any actors/actresses in there at all. The only thing that complements it is the CGI effects. Dont watch it unless you are a big fan of CGI effects.





Jack Neo's Just Follow Law did not do as good as his previous films. It is about 2 person, Lee Teng Zui(Gurmit Singh) and Tanya Chew(Fann Wong) exchanging their souls due to a freak accident. Along the way, the ironies of being a public servant and an insight look of the workings of endless hierarchies in a govt office is slowly pointed out to the audiences from the 2 main characters and their acquaintances using parodies and slap-stick humor. Personally, i think the parodies in this movie is really pathetic and some of them are really old. Jokes such as the CCTV-Gomez thing was used in a very distasteful manner. But of course there are a few memorable and humorous ones which would still tickle our funny bone. On the brighter side of things, the performance by the actors in the film managed to save the film. It was very fresh watching Fann Wong acting a very different character and personality in her years in showbiz. I especially like her crying scene at the last part of the movie because it was so raw, so honest. Love it. This time round, memorable figures like Mark Lee and Patricia Mok were not present but they were replaced by the quirky, law abiding Indian security guard. Watch out for him! Even though the plot manages to bring its point out, it has some difficulties ending the story. The ending was really horrible, it was as if the scriptwriter wanted a twisted ending but decided that he couldn't think of one, so he finishes off with a happy ending. bah! Watch it if you have money to spare.

I recommend anyone who is reading this to watch these movies. Its a must WATCH!





























and also not to forget Donnie Darko. Heh! Im going to jchua hse to watch it tonight, yay!
