Yeah..will go with this one for now. Lovin' it.

Tremolo Arm(s)








Got rid of a whole bunch of old and useless stuff yesterday while cleaning out my room. Finally decided to throw out an old ripped off guitar gig bag. While I was checking the side pockets of the bag to see what was left inside before I chucked it, I found another guitar strap from my first electric guitar (the kind with bright colors similar to that of Carlos Santana's..the strap that is, not the guitar) and, what do you know, the missing tremolo arm from my Ibanez!..So that's where I left it. So now I have 2. Cool.






Was so excited that I posted the discovery on my Facebook status. Consequently this guy I know from the uni days asked if he could have the extra. I replied in the most subtle manner which indirectly implied-Not a chance-. That piece of metal is just too expensive to give away. And he's probably the last person on earth I'd give it to.Go buy your own sucka. Cheapskate..





Russell Curtis' Band

Here's a video of Russell and the band from a wedding gig not so long ago. I've played with the drummer (Cin) and bassist (Zaim) on a different show. You can watch these guys perform at Quattro Avenue K on Wednesdays and Fridays. Whenever I come to see them perform, I'm usually asked to jam a few songs with them. This is their version of 'My Girl". Cool stuff.









Situasi Skarang (bukan lagu bunkface)



Woh.. Lama betul dah tak update blog. Sekadar nak tulis sesuatu. Ada satu hari tu aku keluar dengan tunang kat kedai kasut di The Curve. Kemudian ada satu couple ni sedang nak try kasut. Si girlfriend cuba satu kasut dan tunjuk pada boyfriend dia dan tanya.."Situasi?..situasi tak?.."
Si boyfriend kemudian tengok ke arah kasut dan jawab dengan penuh approval..."Situasi.."
Aku tengok dengan perasaan penuh jelik lagi meluat. Dalam kepala aku, aku sedang meng karate leher pasangan tadi di atas kesengalan yang amat sangat.Dalam kepala je la. Lagu Bunkface nak dijadikan culture?..Come on lah..tak sekolah ke?

Pigi dah..

Bergerak kepada topik yang lain. Aku kehilangan tremolo arm untuk guitar Ibanez RG1570 sekitar sebulan yang lalu. Rasanya hilang masa time practice di Audiomass Studio waktu rehearsal untuk show di Melaka. Apapun, baru-baru ni tunang aku dengan baik hatinya mensponsor replacement untuk tremolo arm tersebut yang kami beli di Bentley Mutiara Damansara.Jadi guitar aku kembali lengkap sekarang. By the way,parts (malah segala barang yang dijual) di sana sangat mahal. Kalau aku tahu tempat lain nak beli barang tu, memang aku tak hingin nak ke sana. Lahanat punya kedai.




Malaysian banks to increase interest rates on non-national car loans.

A report in the Star newspaper today mentioned that several banks here are increasing interest rates on non-national car loans despite the current economic situation.

The hikes, expected to be made in tiers were made for the probable indication that non- performing loan rates in the automotive sector have recently increased. A somewhat silver lining to the situation for the prospective non-national car buyers however is that the rates could be reduced for shorter term loans.

The hikes could also place an impact for interest rates of national cars where it was reported that we could expect a reduction on the same.

I’m thinking that it could be a good thing that the car rates aren’t linked with the BLR rates. Imagine having to pay with ridiculous interest rates on old cars. Though there are pros and cons to the view. But hey, doesn’t look like I’m getting a new car anytime soon so happy hunting to those who are.
