the white beauty!
sounds great too!!! though i still cant figure out how to use the sustainer properly, but I swear it looks exactly like what is in the brochures and stuff, which is great. Though i was quite pissed when there was a made in china sticker on the back of the guitar. No i didn't pay 1200 bucks for a guitar made in fucking red china. Not being racist or inflammatory, but its just simply cause china-made guitars are total crap! Like, ok so maybe it is assembled in china or smth, i duno, or maybe someone decides to give me a scare and stick it on...
yea it sure is pretty, though the company is a bit queer... they gave me a user manual, which is entirely in Japanese, and it's a general Fernandes manual and doesnt feature my guitar inside -_-...
then they included tremolo arms and some springs which are generally used for tremolos when, gasp. There is no tremolo slot for my guitar! which is really, really really strange. and oh, for the guitar to work it is a must to have a 9V battery in the battery slot, even if you are not using the sustainer, because the whole guitar was converted into a freaking electronic circuit.
Yeap, we have a few songs written waiting to be perfected and recorded, so watch this space for the smashing debuts. With my gleaming new white angel. =D =D =D
otherwise, today was some kind of an adventure for me, passing off as a uni-grad facilitator/tour guide for xavier's company, for some secondary school in Singapore
Who you are makes a difference to my life
This of course, is something thought up to raise their morale, and through some disagreement some teachers just refused to give them to the students, claiming it's not sincere. I mean like what, you have your students and think they are that hopeless that you won't even say this kind of motivating sentence to your charges? Dumb shit teachers la. How to educate the future generation properly like that?
Anyway, so we had to give the students these ribbons instead so I did, and I told everyone I handed the ribbon that he/she really enriched my life today and made a difference.
Of course, one key difference they changed to my life was.
I've decided to never ever ever ever be a teacher, especially if I have to handle them
We travelled all the way to Changi Chapel for the learning journey stuff, and for such a small small place (it's a very nice place btw) to control 35 rowdy, mischievous and hyperactive kids was clearly out of my ability lah. We were told to be fierce and all but I really couldn't bring myself to scream at people, so ended up their teacher took it upon herself to barely manage to control all her students through a combination of threats/punishments/screaming while on the bus journey as well as in the museum itself. Which is kind of funny because I've never ever been to that place before, and I'd think I acted like I have been there for many many times with other groups, cause from the moment I stepped in I launched into a great narrative about the exhibits and told a lot of stories (half of them true) I scrubbed off the internet.
Of course most of them probably weren't listening to me but there were some who were pretty nice =) Yea but still I'd not be a teacher cause looking at their teacher, she looked like she was about to faint.
I mean, like SEC2 guys actually pierce their ears and wear diamond studs openly. Like he's obviously just a kid. And some girls, sec2 talking openly about sex and everything. Was kind of a culture shock to me, I mean yeah in Cat High we get it worse but I mean, its not when you review the situation as a young adult that you get the repercussions of what you are actually seeing.
I mean the teacher can casually tell the student that he/she should just quit school and don't throw the school's face.
Yea, sure was an experience... now waiting for my job applications to actually have someone replying to them... or is that a bogus webbie.
