2011 Martell - COrdon Bleu

I am not an expert in Liquor and I hope this one (blue label) do not disappoint my taste buds. I have tested various but non to my liking, such as Jack Daniels, XO, which is the basic entry type. I hope with the upgrade it will be much better now. cross my fingers, cos i paid a dear sum for it.

2011 USB Cables

With the cable below, now this china made reader seems to be working now..!!

this is the new reader I thought that will work with the new cable, but fail.



Ok here is the thing, first bought a cable from some computer shop for 1.5 meter, tested using it for the USB card reader, fail to response, but works fine for thumb drive. Later went and bought this 3 meter ones from Digital Bay, QueensBay Mall Penang for rm15.00 same price with the 1.5 meters cables earlier. Now, I tested it out, using the China Made USB card reader...alakazaam..it works. Apparently, suspect, one of my USB ports is a lilttle funny, so I switch it to another one that cause it to work. Here is the thing, a locally made 1.5 meters fail to work buy a proper factory made cables is ok. So guys, try to get a better quality cables to save you a lot of time and $$.

Will be publishing more photos for better explanation soon.

2011 Levy's Guitar Strap

Yes, finally got it, after searching for some time, I finally found this strap for my guitar, by searching through left and right ups and downs...huh...finally. Well where?, that is the question, well, at Gurney Plaza, never thought that there is a huge music instruments shop there selling various kind of music stuff ranging from trumpets to drums, even kids drum :), my wife is planning to get to my twins, well, back here, the brands ranging from Yamaha to Fenders plus some china brands which I do not recommend. :), well if you are on a tight budget, that is the way to go, else spend your hard earn $$ on something more substantial and quality which can last you a life time, even as a heritage to your kids, who knows!. Well as said so, found this nice guitar straps on this year 2011 it cost me Rm85.00. So to all musicians, pro or amateur here is the place to go in Penang, Gurney Plaza, if you do not know ask around, most till know that place. Happy music strumming and relax.

2011 Yamaha Guitar

Let me introduce to you all my new guitar. Apparently not all guitars are the same, especially the sound quality, I compare my old one and the new , totally different in ergo, sound and such nice acoustics if you can spend a little more.

well the reason I get this is I found it to be very therapeutic when you play, it relief stress. perhaps due the the massage on your finger tips when you pressing the strings!!. just a guess, but all means very good to have a guitar and know how to play, would be wonderful to pass some time.

As for the tuner, which I am very new to it, usually i tune manually, taught to be my father's friend, Uncle Foo, he is a nice guy and can play such nice guitar, he is still playing with the church band when free. If you want to learn a few tricks, you can patronized his stall at Fettes Park market during morning. He is selling Chee Cheong Fun (rice noodle) there and it is quite nice too. So back to the tuner, it took me some time to figure out how to use that, apparently you need to see it indicates, 1E, (string 1 E), 2B, 3G, 4D , 5A and 6E, it is actually the chord of each string. huh never taught that we still need to figure you that when you purchase this automatic tuner...man...it supposed to work automatically, and telling you what is the correct tuning...duh!. Ok. hope this is useful. :D
