Well. I,m gonna blog about yesterday. Man... what a day.
Day started of when Matthew came over. We were supposed to go have lunch at parkway and then lesson with Beez.
His lesson started at 4.30. We reached parkway around 2.
After having lunch at BK, ( I happen to be eating a lot of BK recently ) we decided to walk around. Well it helps digestion and such.
On a side note , I cant wait for the new Borders to open in parkway. I would really like a good bookstore to be near my place.
Ok. So. We were walking on the 2nd level when suddenly a girl appeared in front of me. Well , it wouldnt be justifying calling her a girl since shes 18. So , a female appeared in front of me.
Our eyes connected for a second and something flashed across my mind.
Yeetien.
Well , lengthy description up there , but it happened all in the span of 1 second. I was dead sure that it was Yeetien. She probably knew it was me too , seeing the way she looked at me.
After that, " err. excuse me " (it was crowded) and we just walked past each other.
Now. That crush i had on her a long time ago is gone. We,ve already progressed to the stage of being friends which dont talk. Just seeing each other online on msn without exchanging any words or batter.
Matthew was questioning me. " Tim , who's that? "
I felt like turning back and saying hi.
I mean there was absolutely no reason not to say hi. Its not like we hated each other or anything. In fact i thought it would be pretty nice to catch up with her. Last i heard was she entering VJC (i am inferior)
Well , thats that. Its just pointless thoughts of mine. But still , i wish we had said hi. Its Almost always cheerful to meet someone on the streets.
An hour later, i met Monkey. We weren't close friends at all. All we did was play basketball together but at least those nods of recognition we exchanged felt good.
So , at 4.00 we arrived at Beez's shop. He was having a student , so we had to wait outside till he was done. During that timespan of 4.00 - 4.30 , i observed his playing , some of the chords that he used and the scales being played.
But , what really caught my attention was this Red Fernandez. Matthew told me that it was Beez's old guitar. Custom made.
It looked vintage but yet wild at the same time. I loved it. so....after his student was done , i walked into the shop and the first thing i said after greeting him was , " Beez. Let me try your Fernandez please "
His reply , " you want ah? i used it for 15 years. I want to give it away. You want it for $80bucks? "
I stood there for a moment trying to process what he had just said.
That expensive of a guitar. For just 80 bucks?
For a moment i couldnt believe my ears. But he repeated his sentence.
Right there i was feeling really awesome. I told him YES. Reserved the guitar , and i,m gonna go collect it today.
So that was something REALLY LUCKY. That happened to me yesterday.
At 6.30 , i went to meet have dinner with my mom at Sushi Tei.
It was a good dinner , but we had some disagreements about me getting that Fernandez. I was pretty sad because it was a really good deal but she wasnt supportive.
Thankfully in the end , even though she still didnt support me getting that Fernandez , she gave me some spare cash saying " here , i dont want you to not eat because of 1 stupid guitar "
Well , you might not be reading this but I love you mom.
Yea , sometimes you can be a real pain. But i still love you.
However , talking about Mothers and Guitars , I really would wish that my mom could see me play at least once. She didnt come down for the cineleisure gig , and she declined my invitation to watch me play at the National Library and NUS.
I really really wish that she would hear ( and see because its always cooler live ) me play.
Well , Its 12.30 now. I have an appointment with Beez at 2pm. I still got some stuff to do so ya..
I thought maybe i,ll end on a brighter note.
Since i got lucky with my guitar , perhaps its time to give some back.
Ok. so i,m gone. I,ll upload the pics once i clean up the guitar.
