Seems like the onslaught of the H1N1 didn't bring about the school closure that soooo many of us (Pri/Sec/JC/Poly) expected it to be. Well, even so, i dun seem to like the idea of not going to school for another week, already, the ranting of teachers have made me feel damn uneasy whenever i'm touching my notes. Hack, and block tests coming up TOMORROW!!!!!! WOOOHOOO, FIRST MID-YEAR OF THE YEAR!!!
I WANNA SCORE!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, I DUN WANNA FAIL :(
A breakdown of the papers i'm having:
Monday, 29th June 2009: Econs (Case studies + 1 essay if i'm not wrong) along with Eng Lit (1 unseen + 1 prose analysis)
Okay, i'm so going to pass lit, i finally KNOW HOW TO WRITE A LIT ESSAY!!! Okay, divine forces, BLESS ME TONIGHT!
Tuesday, 30th June 2009:History ( 1 essay on SouthEastAsia + 1 essay on International History)
Finally figured out SEA on Friday, 26th of June 2009, wonder if that helps...........
Wednesday, 1st July 2009: No papers, which means BREAK!!!!
Thursday, 2nd July 2009: Maths paper
Okay, i'm sooo going to be a GONER for this one!!!!!
Friday, 3th July 2009: Nothing, but it seems like there's youth day celebrations and jogathon, though the latter seems like it not going to happen at all. Due to the ministry sensitivity over mass gatherings......
Thus, the WEEK OF HELL SHALL BEGIN!
P.S *Yawns* *Yawns* Sleeping time......

Yamaha's RG series
Today, on my daily surfabout through SOFT, Singapore's very own music forum, i spotted something RARE.
ITS THE YAMAHA RGX 420 DX, A FREAKING DISCONTINUED MODEL BY YAMAHA AGES BACK WHILE I'M STILL A GUITAR NOOB(although i kinda upgrade from this sorry state nowadays)!
From wat i read sumwhere, this model was actually yamaha's wannabe-entry model into the superstrat market dominated by Ibanez. Like many, we are not sure why did Yamaha eventually discontinued this, maybe because of some Copyright Infrigment Ibanez is going to deal wif yamaha? Maybe, cuz from wat it looks, This series really resembles an RG from the Ibanez line.
And the seller is selling at $350!!!!!! WHAT A BARGAIN!!!!!
The selling thread
And its posted TODAY @ 5.39pm!!!! THE TIME I WAS ONLINE!!!! Some sharp eyed collector must have already snatch the deal liao when i'm updating my blog liao *sobs* *sobs*, HOW I WISH I WAS RICH!!!!!! ATLEAST I HAVE IN EXCESS OF $700 in my pocket/bank, i can OWN THIS RARE BABY!!!!!
Adrian 2: Stop whining IDIOT!
Adrian: okay
Adrian 2: Ever wondered why the seller sell it so cheap?
Adrian: Ya hor, original price around $700+, now only $350 leh, must be that idiot(in NS) is short on cashflow and nid to have urgent cash to curb that girlfriend of his from running to another man by buying gifts to stem that girl's anger/lonliness...
Adrian 2: True...
Adrian: Dats even worse, nx time i wanna find one, another buggard come along and ask for $5000?
Adrian 2: Maybe, BUT U BE RICH THEN!
Adrian: I hope so :D
Time check: Its been an hour since i last read the thread, at this is the prime time for heavy internet traffic, so yeah, the guitar changed hands liao...... DAMN!!!!!
P.S I'm obsess wif guitars made by Yamaha, they are really a bargain for that kinda price....

GENUS Concert 09
6th June 09, was a very fun and interesting day.
Met up wif AJ, fellow guitar member and embark on our quest to peninsula plaza to buy guitar-related items. And how interesting it is to actually realised that a bottle of Dunlop's String Cleaner and Conditioner 65 actually cost wayyyy much cheaper than Yamaha selling it. The shop we went to, Music Theme sold it at $6.50 whereas Yamaha Plaza Singapura sold it at $11+? U see, thats how big a difference it is, and btw, music theme's strings and cleaners are the cheapest in the whole of peninsula, so yeah, abit of advertising here on my part.
So i brought my Daddario strings EJ45 like $9, and thats very cheap. A check on Ernie Ball Slinkly's for accoustic are also quite cheap, like $22?
Okay, back to topic.
This was my first time going to a guitar concert, and ofcourse, it was great! Never knew that GENUS performed that well, and how ironic that i didn't even know of GENUS if it wasn't for the fact that i joined YJ's Guitar Ensemble. And this year, there's some Ensemble from germany named JUGENDMUSIKSCHULE PFORZHEIM GUITAR-ENSEMBLE.
Dun bother mouthing it yeah.
Basically, the whole ensemble played some really nice music that i didn't know of. So much goes to my musical knowledge. Even better was when like 2 members of GENUS are able to arrange some pieces. WAH!!! So talented, arranging orchestra level pieces. And some of them are able to play different instruments too, like flute, percussion instruments and the likes.
I wonder if the rest of the ensemble is the same.....
After the entire concert ends, which is like 2 hours and 30 minutes later at 10.30pm. Melvin, Zhen Xiang, Manna, AJ and me went for late night supper at clementi's macdonalds. Really lucky that Aj kinda reminded me that the last train is going to come in 5 mins time, so we fast walk to the station and exactly 2 mins later, the LAST TRAIN ARRIVED!
My, this is the second time i'm taking the last train home. U can see all the tired faces in the train, and the near empty stations especially when the train is making its passing around the city area. Never noticed such things before, the 'calmness' of a station that u couldn't normally see because its always so crowded...
Arrived at bedok round 12.30am+ and went to buy supper for parents at mac. 2 double cheeseburger + MacChicken EVM. Walk home after that cuz there ain't any more bus in service. Even the walk back home seems relaxing, empty walkways, quiet void decks. An excellent change in environment from the ones i was always used to seeing, very much like the concert i attended. Different music, lots of people. Okay LOL
P.S ACCORDING to my frens, i was noisy in the concert. Just because i felt it was worth shouting for the good music they played, so i kinda went at the top of my voice cheering them on. And i even shouted: "WOOH! MR ALEX!!!" hahaahahaahhaahhaha, crazy fun that i lacked so much in life....
