Ok la, i'll set rules for this blog.
I will not,
- talk about stuff that involves racism (In case i get caught and charged)
- not use singlish
- dicuss stuff related to p2p downloading. (eg. BTs)
- try to update every week
- try to keep it interesting
Hmm, after using the text editor here awhile, i think it sux. The font changing function is screwed, the text-style is screwed. Not user-friendly, wtf?

Lol...This text editor is really bugged. Thursday is the most busiest day of my week, at least for now. Cuz every Thursday after school got guitar lesson @ International Plaza. That like from Dover to Tanjong Pagar or Bt.panjang to Tanjong Pagar lol? Last time always decide to come home after school before going out again to international plaza but since 3 weeks back I started to go straight from SP. But the lol part of this is that I must wait for at least 2 hours at international plaza before my lesson starts. School ends at 4.30 but my lesson starts @ 6.30. zZz...
Guitar lessons getting irritating and boring, cuz now all fingerstyle crap. And the stuff they teach so not soothing to the ears. The chords like anyhow anyhow one. But nevermind, wait another 4 months finish liaoz...wooohohoohoo...
This thursday i was lucky enuff to catch to the last 700 from international plaza back to bt.panjang. Then as usual on the bus, i'll either fall asleep on the bus or i'll think about stuff. I thought about alot of crap on this trip. About how i was gonna finish my wcd project when the submission is on the next day. But i and louis still got the work done. And then i also thought of the electric bass, I wanna learn after my lame guitar lessons @ international plaza finish. Most probably from someone private or else bo bian, go yamaha learn. Thought of some crappy stuff, like what will happen if my dad, my sis and I play as a family band.
My Dad - Electric Guitar
My Sis - Piano
Me - Bass lor...
Why not acoustic you may ask. its cuz i phobia after i go international plaza learn acoustic. X_X. Really cool right? BUT, my dad and sis won't think so far like me la. They got they're own likes. Although they play, but they play for church only. Never really put in effort to learn more advanced stuff also. So ar, who got lobang for private bass teacher tell me.
And ya ar, although forgot, jonathan during the afternoon in class told me about creative's warehouse sale. I excited, but at the same time sian, cuz the promotion for the thing I want only on Sunday (I'm in church)...zZz...impossible to skip church to line up for a product right? LOL...den when i went home, i suddenly thought of the warehouse sale and thought of a cr4zy idea, pay someone to help me line up. Then, i put an ad on msn lo. Wait for people to reply. Den Clifford came to ask, but he got work so cant help me. Then the uber, handsome, karhock A.K.A Karl came, and help me for the $50. Thanks Karhock, make sure you help me get it.
And what's the it?
Here it is :
Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty
Its a soundcard FYI. Cheaper by almost 1/2 on Sunday if you get it. The catch is that only the first 50 units is the promo price.Original Price : $429
Warehouse Price : $399
Promo Price : $219
The Electric Bass
I probably didnt know wth is this instrument till about last year or so. Didnt really took notice of this instrument, cuz usually when i hear songs, i seldom take notice of the instruments. Until one day when my sister told me to take up playing bass cuz she liked the sound it produced. Only then did I really take notice of the bass. And from day onwards, in every song I heard, I heard the bass. And as time past, I began to want to learn it.
Even then, I usually heard bass as the icing on the cake in songs. And I thought it was that way, until, youtube helped me understand my mistake. It can be played solo, rhythmically like the electric guitar too.
Victor Wooten
First thought after watching him = omg? Second thought = power!? Really good music. Like this type of music, is this comtempo or what? What I know its not metal (I hate metal, to me its some musicians trying to prove that loud is good. Jimi Hendrix's music is the limit for me) , but if you like metal, by all means, its our choice. =) If you liked the guy/video I posted, try this.
And this is all for 23 Nov 2006.
24 Nov 2006
Today must present ISE project and hand up WCD assignment liaoz. Nothing much lo. I and louis kept cheong-ing WCD until about 4pm, just one hour before submission deadline. Jonathan asked me to help him ask karhock to help purchase another soundcard for him at the warehouse sale. Today actually meeting up with karhock @ fajar lrt station @ 5pm to give him the money to buy the soundcards at first, but i did wcd assignment till 4 and stayed in SP until about 5+, so sms-ed him to tell him I can only meet him about 7pm. Met him and gave him the money. I'm little worried that he can't get it after reading something on the vr-zone forums. Some people planning to queue for the promo @ 6am. And then when I went home after meeting karhock, I played a little NFS: Carbon, but cant win Darius again, so i quit playing for the day and continued to watch wonderful videos on youtube featuring Victor Wooten.
That's all for today, have a nice day.
Off to save the world,
Mr. J0sA1Ac Cheong
