And so Tekong looms

Hmm.

So officially on the 14th of June, I'll be going away to my resort island, where hopefully I will lose weight, gain a good tan, beef up on my muscles and become the quintessential alpha male alot of people want to become.

Yeah right.

If I don't die along the way I suppose I'll be much tougher than what I have become so far. And I suppose I can't complain that I'm pretty much being trained for my own well-being and getting paid (meagre though it may be, but somewhat better off than previous generations of NS men) at the same time for my "sacrifice", "time", "duty to the nation" and all that shizer ("shit" in german).

Anyway, the more immediate concern I have for myself is whether my fingers will literally freeze up and be unable to play guitar. After all, it was 5 days into my Europe trip when I realised that my hands had pretty much lost their ability to do a proper blues scale, much less a simple finger vibrato.

I just hope that all my hard work and honing of one's guitar techniques and nuances doesn't go to waste.

I know it's probably going to sound gay.. but I'm actually starting to love my Ipod mini. And yes.. I know it's pink. But honestly due to my colour-blindness I had thought it looked kind of purplish :P


Cheers,
