i shall offically not talk abt schoolwork anymore...
knns....
thot i came here for a holiday...turns out i get more homework here then i did the whole of my last term in smu...
and its only been 3 wk!!!
as one prof puts it... "its busy work...work designed to keep you busy..not neccessarily to work to make you think..."
buay tahan...can say this kind of thing and still give that kind of work...
got to remind myself im on exchange....my grades dont count...
haha :p
anyway, missing my life in sg quite badly... family, mom's home-cooked food, friends, supper food, cf, buffet food, church, auntie genin's food, frisbee, after workout food, jetlaxx,.... {see the pattern...haha ;) }
yah, so..was kinda grumpy this wk....
could have been worse...at least i could talk with ppl at home...
thank God for internet and instant messanger...
(and gary for offering to send me stuff...;p)
well anyway, apart from school this wk was great!
after all the bitching abt missing stuff from home i decided to do something abt it....
i relooked my budget and squeezed out money for a guitar! :)
hehe...
on thursday i went with debz and Jesse (an aussie classmate from basic spanish class) to look for guitars. (we had earlier went with Alfonso to look at guitars, but the ones i were interested in were out of my budget of sg$150-200...)
so with our limited command of espanyol we asked ard for cheap guitar shops and was recomended a shop called
i got my electro-acoustic for 99usd + a cheapo gig bag for 10usd and some picks total cost me abt sg$180 (bah...lugi on the exchange rate...but at least still within budget... :D)
hehe...felt good being able to play something...
(only prob now is that i only know the bass line for the songs we perform and not the actual chords... oh well...better then nothing.. :P)
