Guitar huntin!
[ 12:22 pm ] So discouraged. That’s what I’ve been feeling lately. These past 2 weeks I’ve been looking around for a good acoustic guitar to purchase. I didn’t realise it was such a monumentous task, well … for me at least. Been to a couple of different shops already, AND visiting the same shops more than 2 times … speaking of which, I’ll be checking out another store in Cheras later this afternoon. A few of the guys have been quite helpful in my … umm … ‘journey’ of finding the perfect guitar. I think I know a lot more about guitars now than I’ve ever did these past few years. Why go through all the trouble you say? Aren’t you already happy with your current one? Well, I’m not. To be perfectly honest, I’m not. I don’t see it lasting through the years. Besides, I told someone that getting a good guitar is something that I want it to be passed down to my children and grandchildren and theirs … fancy thinking? I hope not. I have nothing to pass down, no legacy, at least I want them to know that granddad loved his guitar and love you guys enough to let you have his. An heirloom la … it’s not a silly thought … not to me. Is this what you call investing into the future? Oh wait, that’s insurance. I really hope to find one that I like … and really, there’s no point in getting an expensive one while my skills remained the same. My skill doesn’t match the price of the guitar! At the moment it probably matched a 500 bucks one hahaha … Oh well, with a budget of 2.5 grand, my skills better improve to match the price. A lot of people think that I’ve got the MONEY now since I’ll be buying a guitar … actually … hahahahaha … no lah. I don’t know where the money is gonna come from. I’m just doing this by faith, I know I want a guitar, just don’t know how I’m getting one. I’m doing this because I believe I am getting one. Don’t ask me how. I know I am getting one. Hey, stop asking la. Ah, I’ve booked my tickets to Kuching in August. Going for Erica’s wedding on 8-8-08. Man … had been flying a lot more than usual this year. I think it should be fun, since it’ll be like the usual ex-Sunway crowd again. Miss those times. Funny thing happened yesterday night, Pastor Kenneth was commenting on my … umm … attire for work. Said I looked like those guys working at Google, shirt + jeans + white sneakers and with a couple of million bucks hidden somewhere. Cute. Did I mention how much I love working in start-ups? Especially in a small team where everyone is just in a single location and you can just shout across the office floor. You get to wear what you’re comfortable with, no pesky HR guys telling you not to come in late and go back early, no one to check on your work. It’s great. I love the responsibility. If I messed up, that’s my mess to fix. So, what to do? Don’t mess up lor. God has been really good. Ahh .. time to go out and look for a guitar. Kthxbai! 0 comments Archives nothing |
