I won!

yesterday, finally, i won myself something from ebay. it's a humbucker pickup, white in colour, from epiphone/gibson. i know it's quite pricey when converted to malaysian ringgit, from 23usd to rm72, but, it's quite cheap compared to the normal price you'll have to pay when you're buying from a shop seller. moreover, this pickup is for my project, building a semi-solid-semi-hollow guitar.

i'd still have to design the best design that suited my intention, i wanted a body that's not too modern looking, i'm not into the metal guitar designs, but alas, i'd like to stray a little bit from the traditional. i'm opting for a shape kind of like the es-335, if anyone knows it, but i'm fond also for the les paul guitar shape. but, all in all, simplicity is my best friend at the moment.

the plan is that, i'd fitted the guitar with a humbucker pickup, maybe a neck pickup, a single coil maybe, to get that twang that you can hear from a fender guitar, no trem bridge for me, i'm not even using all the dive and the bombing techniques, maybe a simple bridge, a saddle bridge that you could see on accoustic guitars. i'm not opting for a metal bridge anyway, i wanted to keep it as simple and plain as possible. i'm planning also to use a ready made neck, probably a gibson style neck, which probably, i'd buy from woh fatt music, or maybe i'd asked mr julian mokhtar to custom made me one neck, i'd say roughly, the cost for the neck, around rm250-rm300, that's quite almost, the same value as my intended tools.

but well, all in all, i'll have to start slowly this time.

wish me luck.

ice breaking

threading on a thin ice
i'm in the process of making myself scarce

who knows what future i have
who knows what dreams that i've had

loneliness is not an emotion for me
not anymore
'twas pleasure for myself

i see what i wanted to see
yet i'm unable to see clearly

i hear what i wanted to hear
yet i'm nearly deaf to the silent noise

of all the past that's bygone
no past can be regarded as spam
or junk mail anymore

i've tried to cope up with that
i've tried to mangle it somehow

but it has, it is, it will
and always
comes back and haunt me.

a thosand of apologies

in making myself well prepared for the practicuum, i had had a lot of issues to be dealt with. my laptop crashes itself with plenty of viruses to go down under, assignments and tons of them, some other issues that i shouldn't and wouldn't put it here, except, simply said, something related to arrangement, some kind of arrangement.

there'll be no excuse for me after this. i'll try to write everyday, at least one post per day.
