Mom

No matter where I go or what I do, I always think of how much my mom has given to me.

The fact that I'm holding my Takamine is all thanks to my mom. Even My new guitar and the adrenalinn put together still can't match the price of the Takamine. :) Thanks mom.

Also many thanks for the car(not mine but she's let me use it full-time the past 2 years), the com, and whatever else I can't think of right now.

I'm gonna get something nice for you for your birthday this year! :) It might come a lil bit late but it'll come none-the-less!

Happy early Birthday, MOM!!!!

Sick things do happen

check this out.

Slipping into some sort of routine

Sleep at about 2am. Waku up at about 8.30 am. Roll about the bed for about half hour. Head off to UPM studio *TRYING* to do the stupid album. Go home at about 10.30. Practice til about 2 am while messaging/talking to Jo. Sleep at around 2am then rinse and repeat cycle.

ARRGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate having to do an album alone. I hate the fact that I have great equipment to use BUT not have a good sound-proof recording room! Trully royally suck. Project update: 40% done so far. Intensive work left: 30%. "I-would-probably-enjoy" work left: 20%. Tedious paper work: 10%. Everything should be ok. The thing is. I'm presenting all this on 31st of March! Oh well.

Learnt lots of new things about my new baby, the Dillion, and learnt how stupid newspaper reviewers can be. Edward Gomes of The Star is a half idiot! And I quote from his review (link might expire on 9th March), "For a start, I found that the extended scale length allows for deeper, low tones. In fact, the bass notes were positively booming." The thing is, the guitar uses a SHORTER scale length as compared to other guitars!! Actually the same as a Les Paul. And I can explain from a physics point of view on how longer scale lengths give LESS bass. sheesh. Wish people would make sure they know what they're talking about BEFORE publishing it. Having said that, I generally agree with most of the other things he had to say about the guitar, both good and bad. However, I think the fretboard isn't really bad, Just that Star didn't take care of the guitar when it was handed to them for the review. And the Dillion is a bit harder to play when you first get is because of the short scale length. Combined with the fact that it is a 24-fret one (other 24-fretters ussually use 25.5" scale but this one is 24.75" scale), it takes slight adjustments to play it shread-fast. I'd say that Edward Gomes isn't too good at adjusting his technique.
