The Afterthought.

Was it the right thing to do?

Definitely the chivalrous one.

But chivalry at what cost? And of what repercussions?

But I'm glad everything's cleared up and done with. Another chapter of my life finally sealed, under lock and key.

And heck, it's not as if I don't have you =D and that I wouldn't give up for the world.

Back from Down Under!

I'm back guys! I know you all missed me! You guy DID miss me right? Right? RIGHT?

Neh, I didn't miss you guys either. =P

Anyway I had the BEST time there! Went to the Gold Coast, the eastern part of Australia christened the surfer's paradise. On the first day, we went to Movie World! For those who don't know, it's not a movie exhibition thingy. It's a theme park! =D Had loads of fun, though the rides could have been more thrilling. I guess my expectations have risen! Hehe!

And I thought I'd never say this, but my grandparents are cool. Especially my grandfather, who's like 70 something. HE WENT ON SUPERMAN! HAHHA HOW COOL IS THAT?! I think we've hooked him on roller coasters! =P

Then! The next day, we went to this REALLY ulu place called Binna Burra. It's somewhere in the forest on a mountain. REALLY high up on the mountain. Anyway we went there for the flying fox, which was really kinda short.

Then we went for a jungle trek through the.. er.. jungle. Haha the scenery was really cool and picturesque. With the mountain range covered in greenery and all. And there were huge rock formations and mini caves. Haha ideal cam-whoring spots! Which we did, A LOT. Hehe!

On the third day, we all did something that I'd been wanting to do for a VERY long time. We went to learn to SURF! For $45 for two hours, it was PRETTY expensive. Anyway, the surf school had this guarantee. They said that you would be able to stand up on the board after just the first lesson.

AND STAND UP I DID. MANY TIMES. For between 3 to 5 seconds each time. Hehe many wipe-outs I had. =P Haha in other words, I sucked. But heck! It was VERY fun! And VERY tiring. Yes, VERY TIRING.

On the next day, we ajourned to Brisbane city, the state capital. On the way there, we stopped off at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Quite the cool it was. Haha I LOVE koalas and kangaroos! Took many pictures, played with the kangaroos and had ice-cream. Then we continued our drive to Brisbane.

Upon arriving, we spent a LONG time finding the valet that was renting out bikes. Eventually finding it, we rode along the South Bank of Brisbane. Very relaxing and soothing in a weird way, considering it was in a city.

On the last day, we went to the water theme park, Wet N' Wild! Haha quite fun!! WAYY better than our own Sunway Lagoon =P the lines were damn long though. Many of us got some serious sunburn! I tell you it was FREAKIN COLD, but we still got sunburn. No clouds to shelter us that day.

Then we went shopping, and as usual the guys were bored stiff. The women and girls went loose and ran amuk as the guys sat around and stoned. Haha thankfully we had my uncle's canggih camera to play around with!

That night, we cousins decided not to sleep that night and sleep on the plane since we had to wake up at 5 am. So yeah we played poker til pretty late, but I could no longer tahan so I slept at 2 .30. However, things didn't go as planned as I watched like 4 movies on the plane. So I, in total had only 3 and a half hours of sleep.

Maybe that explains my current condition. I'M SICK. ON CHRISTMAS. Haha oh well!

Merry Christmas readers! And Happy New Year! May you be bequeathed with an abundance of presents and blessings! And your Christmas tree be very awesome- looking! I miss all of you, especially you.

Ecstatic!

After two years of waiting for it, working towards it, studying my ass off for it, begging for it, picking and choosing it, it is finally MINE!! GLORY BE ME!!! AHAHHHHHHHHHHHHAAHAHHAH!!


Ibanez RGT 6EX

I absolutely LOVE it!! It's like my perfect axe!! First of all, it's black which is kinda a necessity for me =P it's got a tremolo! 24 frets, neck-thru! HEEEEEEEEEEE I'm hyperventilating just BLOGGING ABOUT IT! Then of course, the EMG's fitted in!! Whoa, I've never used them before but they're a lot beefier than the single-coils most use and the ones I've ever had experience playing.



EMG 81 and 85, and my fan!

And I absolutely LOVE the finish! It's black in normal lighting, but when light hits it, it kinda shimmers this awesome blue sandblasted finish. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!


My other two loves.

The inlays are pretty special too! They're dots but they're offset! HEHEHHEHEHHEHE!! And the rosewood fingerboard. Sigh. So nice, so smooth. :D And I got a Ibanez TBX amp to go with it. Which I, actually, have NO IDEA if it does the guitar justice, since it's my first electric =P Hehe maybe now you know why I've wanted it so badly.

Thanks Ibanez!

You know, with all that hard work put in, getting something you really want is really worth it. Though sometimes things don't go exactly how you planned them to , ultimately, they actually do, since it's the end result that matters.

Kinda like you and me, don't you think? =D
