Awesome Possum

AWESOME POSSUM!!! Finally...tomorrow's the last day of the Basic Cuisine course. I am proud to announce that I have passed both elements, theory and practical of my exams....with flying colors!! <=== Hmm...not sure bout that. Anywho...I'm just glad that after 10 long and busy weeks, I am finally off the hook. I am finally off the hook from both studies and work!! Isn't it awesome possum?? I'm sorry...I've developed a habit of saying awesome possum all the time.

Sooo...now that I'm totally off the hook from the 2 most stressful parts of my life, I can concentrate on the therapeutic part of my life. GUITAR!! Wooohooo....I'm gonna get a new axe next week!! I can't wait...can't wait at all. I've been doing some research and asking my guitar teacher for advice....I've finally come to a decision that I totally deserve a "Fender Mexican Standard Stratocaster", which is one of these li'l babies...




Awesome possum, eh??? Although I'd so much prefer the American made Fender, but it's way outta my league. As in the price....not my skills! Anyway, which color do you guys prefer? Honestly, I prefer the red one. Maybe coz white is way too common and it gets dirty easily. But the red one is $200 bucks more, and the red one has a maple neck and the white one has a rosewood neck. There's not really a big difference in quality between the two, but it's just whichever I'm more comfortable playing with. At the moment, I'm gonna go with the red one! I actually remember Felix having a white one...it's the exact same model. He treated it like his wife! But of course, I will always be truthful to my Taylor even if I'm getting a Fender. Hehe..

Getting a new axe means starting a whole new chapter in my guitar skills. Instead of playing acoustic songs most of my time, I'm actually gonna start playing leads and guitar solos. I have been playing guitar solos, but unfortunately I had to play on my acoustic Taylor...which doesn't yield the desired sound for guitar solos. OMG...I just quit my job and I'm spending so much money....help me God!!

This weekend is gonna be awesome possum! That's the 5th time I'm using that phrase now...6th if u count the title. Anyway...I'm so gonna have a blast this weekend. First, I'm going out for dinner with a couple of my friends from school at my chef's restaurant on Friday night!! Yes...the chef that hates me! Well...actually, she kinda stopped picking on me now. Maybe coz I stopped sucking and actually rockin' in the kitchen now, baby!! Fine...I lied. I still suck...but not as much. Actually...I still do. Just yesterday, I served a whole chicken the other way round, where the carcass was on top, instead of the breast meat. You have no idea how fuckin' embarassing that was. 10 weeks in the course already and I'm serving chicken upside down?? Damn it Veron!!!

Anywho...back to the weekend blast that I was gonna talk about. And on Saturday is gonna be my hotel's staff christmas party. Although I've quit, I'm still invited to the party. I missed last year's and I totally regretted it. So this year, I'm not gonna miss it no matter what!! This year's theme is "Hawaiian Luau"!! I personally think that it's such a sucky theme....coz damn it...it's christmas! It should be something more christmassy. But then again, christmas in Australia falls on summer. So I guess it's a fair choice. Anyway...I'm totally aiming for this year's lucky draw man!! My hotel has the best lucky draw ever! Well, not sure bout this year, since the economy is so bad nowadays. But last year, they had a plasma TV for the grand prize, and a return ticket to anywhere in Malaysia for the 2nd grand prize. And the list goes on and on. Let's just hope that I get the ticket to Malaysia so that I can come back home for christmas!! Tough chance...I know!!

Alrighty then...I guess I'll catch you guys later! Have a good one, peepz! Cheers!
