boot shopping & music

okay so the o' cleats have given up on me. well not completely, but everytime i tried to fill the gap between the outsole and the shank with glue, it only made the gap even larger. i guess its life's coming to an end, after all it's been a year already. most boots of mine last about half a year.

so out of necessity i had to go to queensway to shop for some spanking new boots. i was pretty shocked by their outdated inventory. and it's not just a couple of the shops, the problem seemed universal to all the shops there. most of them are still stocked to the brim with last season's stuff. new boots that came out at the end of last year were pretty rare sights.

i was equally shocked to see weston stocking predator rugby's and almost the entire range of adidas rugby boots. i was so tempted to just grab a pair of predator rugby's and head home. but i just couldn't stand the styling of the new predator powerswerve, it's gotta be one of the ghastliest looking incarnations in the entire history of predators. the bloke who designed this horrendous looking thing must have lost his marbles.

so i settled for a pair of adiPure's. not for the faint hearted. in fact i think most people would think it looks really "dated". well it was supposed to have modern performance with classic looks, i just wanted something comfortable, low key and relatively cheap. besides i'm getting sick of predators, been wearing them since i could remember so it's about time for a change.


also, i haven't been playing music for a while and tomorrow there's gonna be the first real jam since last year if i remember correctly. i just hope that i haven't lost all my chops. all i have been doing lately is just strumming aimlessly and trying to come up with something musical.

anyways i doubt there will be anything inspiring tomorrow. the setlist speaks of different kinds of music from what i'm into normally. i shall just go with an open mind.


and er a little fashion tip to the old uncle i saw on the bus with bleached hair (dressed in black n' white striped top and maroon corduroy pants, sporting a purple velvet belt with a gold buckle): next time best leave the maroon cords and purple velvet at home. it makes you look kinda... erm transie?

blast

ooh hoo had a blast today.

went jamming with eugene, yun tian, han lu and weng wor. well i did spent 3 hours on the trip to and fro but it was worth it. learnt a lot of stuff about dynamics and playing in the band. also i haven't had this much fun in a while, so it was awesome \m/

and also took my newly acquired headphones for a spin. wow what a world of difference from my old ones. even on the mrt, i couldn't hear any ambient noises, and you can hear the most minute details in the music. and it makes those not-so-well produced records sound grainy, cause of its amazing quality. oh man best 60 bucks i've ever spent probably. i should really kick myself for not getting it sooner. and the earplugs worked as well, although didn't have to use it for the whole duration of the jam, coz it wasn't really that loud. and mikeman's studio's pretty cool, although a bit messy, but cool nontheless!

i'm burnt. gotta sleep early, still gotta go clubbing tomorrow.
