1 litre of tears! *sob*

I swear, Koreans and Japanese people must spend a lot of their time crying! I mean, they sure do know how to make people feel for their stories. And I'm saying this after watching 1 litre of tears until the final episode (I have it but I've not watched it yet). ={ But then again I'm not ashamed of being touched to a tear or two by this masterpiece, really! I'm not about to spoil the story for anyone, but in case you want the series (or other series for that matter) you can always contact me!

Speaking of masterpieces, I'm in a bit of a quandry.

Now, living in SG is really pretty good, with what they say about the high availability of consumer goods, high standard of living etc (Econs...) Though I'm not quite pleased cause NOBODY HERE STOCKS B.C. RICH GUITARS!!! And it sucks knowing this cause when there are stuff you want that are made in the USA, you got to 1) Have a credit card 2) 90% of the time see, but cannot touch 3) the freight and transport charges often cost a lot more than the product itself. Now this sucks bad, cause I'll show you an example of the guitar I want to get, the BC RICH Mockingbird.











This here is a BC RICH Bronze Mockingbird, and it's the only Mockingbird available in SG aside from platinum, from that store called Davis Guitar. It costs $295 SGD the last I looked, has a bolt-on neck design, 24 frets, dotted inlays, rosewood fretboard, chrome hardware, 2 standard BC Rich humbuckers, 1 volume and 1 tone switch and an Agathis body and Maple neck (the wood it's made of). Note that the guitar's top is actually flat and dull, even under stage lights. Definitely a beginner guitar.












This here is called the Mockingbird Masterpiece Guitar, which costs $399 USD (about $600 SGD) everywhere online I looked. As it's name suggests, it does look like a masterpiece. With a bolt-on neck design, 24 frets, block or cloud inlays (cloud inlays look DAMN DAMN CHIO I SWEAR, but only some dealers still have them in stock) ,rosewood fretboard, chrome hardware, 2 "B.D.S.M" pickups (which stand for Broad Dynamic Sonically Matched, they claim, but I highly doubt that!), 2 volume and 1 tone switch, an Agathis body and Maple neck. Hence, if you actually compare the two, the difference is the finish - this one is sloped and the top is AAA grade wood, and the headstock is the traditional headstock design. My only problem with this is the bolt-on design, which makes it hard to reach frets 18-24 quickly, one of the reasons why I want a mockingbird. In terms of the wood also, I found that Agathis is a cheap-ass wood used in guitars to reduce costs. But I can live with the wood.



This is another one available for $449 USD, about $670 SGD. Well its not really the one shown in the pic, but an older model that looks like this as I'm lazy to download the picture and then landscape it, I'll just show something similar. Anyways, in short, this is the real snatch of the above. Neck-through construction, 24 frets, Nato European wood or something, cloud inlays, ebony fingerboard, 2 volume, 1 tone, et cetera. Well I'm getting lazy to type -.-


Anyways, my point is, shipping costs $89 USD which is like a hundred and fifty dollars in Singapore money... that alot just to get it here. But I want it. Boo.
