Its the second day today that i've had to send AH's guitar to school. she's not allowed to bring it in during school hours yet as a prefect preparing for prefect's nite, she's expected to practice with the rest of her group.
Not willing to let down requests from friends, she puts on those puppy eyes and asks me oh ever so sweetly - could i pretty please menapak the many tangga up to her class or language lab and pass her the guitar?
Hehehe.. she knows i'm putty when it comes to those puppy eyes ;)
It was only recently that we had the strings replaced at mahogany section 9. its a very convenient place with extremely helpful people in attendance. now AH somehow prefers electric guitar strings for her acoustic guitar.. probably because its kinder to her small fingers. not so keras it seems but i dunno since i'm not a guitar player, just the paymaster lol.
And while we were there i did manage to ask for some advice regarding an upgrade. her almost 6 year old black TGM is certainly looking the worse for wear and is probably due for a replacement. maybe not now but some time in the future, preferably after spm. and surprisingly the guy stringing AH's guitar (who also happens to be an instructor there) recommended a takamine.

Obviously i've never heard of it. i never even realised there're other japanesse guitar makers apart from yamaha (so much for my music know how lol). and it doesnt come cheap either.. no siree. the low end models are priced at around RM750, while made in japan ones can start from RM3,000 (he was nice enough to let AH try out one priced at RM1,500).
Whoosh.. thats a lot of RMs.
Need some input from my bros. definitely something to discuss after spm... way way after spm ;D
Abe - everything's sorta settled for now. i can pass over AF's roadtax now that he's back & we'll be changing his tyres first thing tomorrow insyallah.
AF - heh cikgu, glad to have you home to peluk2 la ;)
AI - chill la yang.. things happen for us to ponder & learn from.
AH - since the party's this weekend dont i owe you a 'dress' or something?

buy the guitar, maybe after spm? sofia is taking flute now. i thought the guitar would be better but if it is flute that she wants, the flute she gets.
on the young uns' driving, just pray hard and endlessly and lots of advise to go along with that.
