Updates

Exams? Over. Holidays? Beginning.

Well, they've already begun, with the teacher's day celebrations and Tzi Hua's surprise party. And yes, it was a pretty awesome party, as it was last year and the year before (though I did spend more time playing football/basketball with Eric and a little boy who I'm guessing is about half our age).

I don't really have so much to say about this partae, especially since I don't have any of our turban pictures with PAS and UMNO and Parti Negara. We'll just let someone else do the post. Someone like Tzi.

Hmm. Okay, let's see. What else has been going on? Oh, of course. I never DID actually get around to advertising our new online shop. Topsyy Turvvy. By our, I mean me, Isaac, Gwen, and well, god knows who else. I haven't really been a very active member of the community, what with the exams and all.

Anyways, online shopping is the new era. So do visit the site and see if anything there interests you. If you want anything sold, too, you can trust us to help you sell it. There're tonnes of things you get buy there for dirt-cheap-prices.

(Except for what I really need. Ugh)

Haha! Scratch that last sentence. I've been trying really hard to get this thing cheap. Online, secondhand, anywhere, anyhow. As long as it works and is cheap. Though even cheap for this won't be cheap. So anyways, I've spent the last few days of my life painstakingly digging through the internet for this item.

Just on Thursday, I'd found it. A BOSS ME-70 for the price of RM600! Retail price of the thing is actually RM1200, so that is seriously an awesome bargain. Or rather, it was. It was on Ebay, and it was open to bidding, until yesterday night. So yesterday night, I went on to check on it again and to do some last minute bidding.

Lo and behold, my heart shattered. It broke. It exploded. Terletup. The price was about RM900 suddenly, and including the shipping fees from the US, it would cost about a thousand. So yeah. I was pretty cut up.

So anyway, I abandoned dreams of such amazing prices for such a new product, which only came out only a few months ago. So I turned to the older model. The ME-50. Which is still considered a pretty good competitor of value to the ME-70. So moving on, I went on another search. I immediately found a No-Bidding, Buy-It-Now price of RM600 for a brand-new ME-50.

So I immediately ran a background check on the seller. It was a shop in USA, which had achieved the status of POWER SELLER. I quote Ebay on the subject: "They are exemplary members who are held to the highest standards of professionalism, having achieved and maintained a 98% positive feedback rating and excellent customer service as reflected by high detailed seller rating scores". Now THAT's impressive. Haha!

So without further ado, I emailed my cousin, who was coming back from the US in just a couple of days' time, and pleaded her to bring back the ME-50 with her. A while later, I went to check my inbox to see if she'd replied. She hadn't, but somebody else had.

On thursday, I had also asked around on a Malaysian music-oriented forum, to see if anyone was selling their ME-50's or ME-70's. Yesterday, someone replied. He said that he was looking to sell his ME-50 for about RM600-700, and it was in tip-top condition. So, thinking that I could save my cousin alot of trouble for my cousin on the online ordering and stuff, I decided to support local trading.

Right now, I'm just waiting for him to reply my email, and give me his phone number so that we can do some bargainning and come to some sort of arrangement. The wait is killing me. Ugh. I just hope he replies quickly. Really quickly.

Well, that's the story. If you've put up with my nonsense for this far, here's the final stretch. Meet my soon-to-be-erm. Fiancee? Nah, it's just an item. An extremely awesome, dreamy item. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you: The BOSS ME-50!

I like the colour more than the ME-70. Haha!

Fight For A Reason

So here's the story. There's this dog pound in Setapak. The goverment are paying them to round up all the stray dogs and kill them brutally. People have tried to stop them, but the only way is by buying each dog a ticket out of there. The price to release the dogs is RM70 per dog.

Are you ready? Here's the plan:

We are going to buy as many dogs out of there as we can, and send them to the SPCA(unless any of you want to adopt a dog). Of course, the SPCA doesn't have unlimited space, so we're donating partially to the SPCA for them to widen their facilities.

"That's all fine and dandy, but how are we going to do that? Where do we get the money?"

You've asked the right question. I did mention buying tickets, didn't I? So here. This right here is the dogs' tickets out of hell.

This ticket has obviously been Sampelized, so don't try anything funny.

Anyway, it's a gig which Naveena is organizing(yes, so that means the idea and credit is all hers, and I am merely an employed designer and performer). A charity gig, at that. For the uneducated, a gig is a concert. Only more laid back and not neccessarily professional. I'm not really going to say much here. There's a website for a reason. Oh, you didn't know?

Here. Fight For A Reason. And obey the title, if you want to hear Initial Sound perform live for the very first time! (go for the gig and save some animals in the meantime, if you don't know who I'm talking about)

The flyers will be passed around soon enough, but here it is beforehand, just in case it doesn't get to you in real-life.

And about the bands performing, we are still searching for people to perform, so if you have a band, please do join. Let us know if you're interested. And as for those without, if you know anyone who do, tell them about it. Also, you can show your support by being there.

Is There A Ninja In Your Pants? Cos Your Ass Is Kicking!

Show: Prom- The Musical

Rating: 10/10

Whoa, my brother sings. And it's not bad, either. I mean, whenever I hear him singing in the bathroom(pretty often, too, since his bathroom is right next to my room) or practicing for his performance, it's horrible. I was kinda dreading his solo part in his KLPAC musical.

This one.

Anyway, he didn't sound anything like himself yesterday night, in the musical. So, yeah. It was good. The dancing was great, the singing was great, the jokes were great, and the gay was BRILLIANT. That sounded a little wrong, but it's the truth. The guy who acted as a gay was so.. darn.. FUNNY!

And I'm going again on Sunday. I went last night with the relatives on my mum's side plus Jeremy and Lin Rui, so this Sunday I'll be going with my father's side of the family.

And look! I made a poster. Can you tell which one is my brother? The one next to the gay. I'm sure you can tell which one is the gay.


Sigh. Damn exams and projects. Suddenly I feel so... Dull. As in the opposite of shiny. How ironic.

WHOAH! DID YOU GET THAT JOKE?

I was talking about dull and shiny, which are usually used to describe metals, and what's a common type of metal? IRON! So I said "How ironic."!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
