I love this feeling, do you?

So yesterday, I went to Low Yat Plaza to help Wendy's sister, Sarah, find a Siberia Neckband, never imagine that it would cost so much more than the full sized one.

Well, she wanted a neckband, so she bought it anyway, for RM370.

Later, Wendy treated me to lunch ^^ thanks a lot =)

Went to shop for groceries with them afterwards, I've never felt happier while shopping for groceries. She's so sweet =)

Drove them to the station after that, don't know the route to their home so just dropped them off, and we parted ways. They were soaked by the rain =(

Nevertheless, I'm really happy just to see her for a few short hours. I made sure I make the most out of the time, and I'm happy.

Hope to see you again soon k? ^^

Thanks for the cookies too, love it ^^

Lost...

Damn, had a feeling I flunked the second paper today. This makes me feel like "to hell with the last paper".

Its not that it's guaranteed flunked, I did try and answer all the questions, and luckily some of them are correct, though I am not so sure about the explanation, unless they decide not to even look at how I explain things and give me points.

If I really do make it through, then all would be fine. If I don't though, it will be a year of waiting till I can graduate, and I will not know what to do in that time.

I thought I lost hope for the last paper.

Thanks for being supportive, motivating me and put hope back in me. I will work as hard as I can. You're the best =)

The end of a journey, and the beginning of another, for us. =)

Final exam starts tomorrow. Both of my main papers aren't really hard subjects, only real problem is the dumb cultural paper I'm resitting.

I can easily come up with explanation for my main papers, but I'm really not good at memorizing answers for that dumb resit paper. Hopefully I can actually concentrate on studying for that lone paper, it's what worries me the most right now.

After that, I can finally graduate. Have a little break with my friends, and get prepared to continue into Advanced Diploma.

Sis getting married soon, I didn't even know they are engaged until yesterday when they told mom about their wedding plans.

My brother, 9 years my senior, is finally attached. Good for him.

Oh yeah, I'm waiting.

June 24th =)

Physically exhausted

Second guitar lesson was pretty good. My fingers didn't hurt as much, maybe my fingers are already getting thick skinned =/

Learned about notes like a total noob, and 2 extra chords, which are kinda hard.

Apparently I'm learning quickly, that's what he said =/

Stayed at college till around midnight for the past week preparing for a project. After next Tuesday my burden will finally be lifted. At least for now anyway.

Do come and visit me at my college next Tuesday, there will be an Advertising Campaign event at canteen 2 right behind the main gate. There will be games and freebies to be won. From 10am to 4pm.

Challenge.

It's really not as easy as it looks.

Believe me on that, playing the guitar is really not an easy thing to do.

I'm pretty much done with plucking each individual string without using my left hand to do anything. Sounds simple eh?

Well chords are a totally different thing.

Trying to press strings needed to do an open chord is really, really hard. Again, my fingers always touches strings that aren't supposed to be touched, making them sound weird, or totally muted. It could be because my fingers are short, but that's not a valid excuse, really. I just need more practice.

What else?

I've added You're Not Sorry by Taylor Swift into my playlist. Another great song.

Yourguitarsage has videos for both beginners, and individual tutorials for songs. He encourages people not to give up while learning. =)

Wonder when will I be able to reach my goal : to be able to entertain others with my guitar. That would be the biggest accomplishment for me.

Baby steps.

My first guitar lesson started today. Short, but learned a bunch. Much easier to learn compared to video tutorials.

The tutor is pretty good. Real friendly, talkative and explains things in a manner even a noob like me can understand easily. Though when it comes to business, he has high expectations. Like what he said, I'm learning "serious music".

I'm already shown how to play chords. It feels as if my fingers aren't really long enough, had a pretty hard time trying to get it right. Switching between chords are especially hard, playing a chord without my fingers touching, hence, muting the other strings is problematic. He told me this isn't going to be easy, and this is also why there are more pianist's than guitarist's.

All I need to do is practice, 30 minutes to an hour everyday. The lesson here is, never give up =)
