End of 2011.... Here come 2012

The year 2011 went through so fast. It seem like I just finish my CNY holiday and 2012 CNY is coming soon....

What have I done in 2011?

2011 started with me changing to a new job. Left my previous job because it seem I learn nothing from it.... This new job have been very good... I learn something that I really want to learn and I'm still learning....

Taking a break from the worship team.... After serving in the worship team for 3 years, I come to a stage where I need some rest.... So I take a 4 month break from the worship team to seek God for his plan for me for 2012.... I will be going back to the worship team in Jan 2012..

This year I din't get any new guitar.... There few time I nearly got myself a new guitar but the fire die down... Still I get myself few new effect pedals.. Currently I very happy with all the effect I have..... There should not be any new buying of effect for the next 6 month at least.... For 2012 I still would like to own a Tele.... A Japanese Fender or Fender American Deluxe will be good...... Hope I can collect all the guitar model. Currently I have Strat, Super Strat and Strat X Super Strat.... Missing from the collection is Tele, Les Paul, and Semi-hollow/Hollow....

What I going to do on 2012?

Still thinking..... For sure will continue to work hard and earn money. Already send the forecast  for 2012 to my boss... Hope I can achieve my forecast.

Continue to serve in the worship team and continue to grow with the Lord. Will be starting to serve in the worship team early then expected. Will be playing 3 years in a row for Watchnite. I will be serving for the weekend service too.... So I will be playing on the last day of the year and 1st day of the year.

Crazy about watches again.

The Craze for watches is here again thank to Mr. L......

He show me this watch from Seiko

This is the 1st time he told me to look at watches on this price range.

It got my attention. When to test it out and I like it.

Design is like Rolex DayDate... Still the quality is not the same like "LOLEX"

Then I was searching around the web, I saw this watch from Tissot.

Present to u all...............................TISSOT VISODATE!!!

The 1st time I see this, I fall in love with it. When to test it out.....

Love it so much.

Determine to get this.....

Need to work hard and going to get this no matter how....

Hong Kong 2011

Have my 1st holiday for 2011... When to Hong Kong with my Uncle family and my sister. Booked the ticket 1 year ago. It a 5 day 4 nite trip to HK.

Arrive at HK and check-in into the Hotel and have our 1st dinner at HK.

The next day we went to Ngor Ping at Lantau Island to take the longest cable car I have been to.

At Ngor Ping we have the best Tau Fu Fa we ever have.. It was so smooth....

After Ngor Ping we went to HK Disneyland.

We waited for 1 hour to see the firework!!!

Pedal Riser....

Having a flat pedalboard are good as u can have more space to put all the pedal in but there are 1 disadvantage.

The second row is very have to engage. U need to use your toe to engage the effect.

So I was thinking about a way to solve this problem.

Here come the StageTrix Pedal Riser.
http://www.stagetrixproducts.com/products/modular-pedal-riser-with-cable-routing

It have a very good design. It can rise the pedal by 1" and can route the cable nicely under the riser.

BUT....

The cost is very high. Each unit cost US$12. I cannot find it in Malaysia or Singapore. The Shipping cost also very high.

So I made the decision to custom made it in Penang. The 3D drawing is out and send for quotation.

At the mean time I found something at home that can be use as a pedal riser. Some old calender paper/pen plastic case. I will post up the process when I have it done..
