May 17....

I'm so upset with FedEx! (i call them FedUp). When i called the FedEx call centre last week to schedule a pickup for my PRS to be sent to Singapore (it has to go through my dealer there, then it'll be shipped back to the USA, it's standard protocol), the cust service relations fella (or whatever u call them) said that my guitar will go down to Singapore via a FedEx truck. I was relieved, because the last thing i would like my guitar to get on is a PLANE, unless necessary!

When the FedEx pickup guy came to pickup my package, it was just a sad moment to see my guitar go away. And you know what?????? My PRS went on a FLIGHT, as i said the last thing i would like my guitar to travel on is a FLIGHT unless it's on a long haul journey. Urgh! I used the tracking number that was given to me and guess what? That same night it was flown to the Philippines and then back to Singapore! im FedUp with FedEx. If i was shipping something non-fragile i wouldn't even care. I've heard enough complaints about FedEx from my other friends when they ship their fragile items over, and it reaches to the destination in pieces. They recommended me to use UPS or DHL, but how? No choice, my dealer paid for shipping and they use FedUp, i hope that when my guitar comes back from the states it's flown back using UPS or DHL, I hope PRS uses them. Enough ranting for a day, I'm missing it heaps. It's there on evaluation and warranty. I'm the unlucky one in a million.

My parents were away for a night and then so happen my sister (amelia) wanted to watch MI:3, but I've already watched it so what the heck. Last minute someone wanted to have lunch with me, so we went to 1utama, my sister went for the movie, and i bought tickets, TICKETS! I got 2 tickets for the premiere of The DaVinci Code movie, on thursday. The best seats in the house. Yay! I'm so excited i can't wait for it. I do hope that it meets up to the standards of the book..

I've gotta go sleep now, long day ahead tomorrow...

May 9..

I got my PRS (Paul Reed Smith) Custom 24, 20th Anniversary, 10 Top guitar on the 11th of April.. Erin called me a braggart. People who own this guitar don't even need to open their mouth to brag, the guitar itself will do it for you. Well you know what's happening??? It's going to be shipped back to the PRS factory in Stevensville, MD, USA tomorrow for warranty related issues. I'm so upset.. all in less than a month! Happy now? I don't want to talk about it! I'm too upset!

Anyway for those of you who are interested, we're going to play badminton (& probably swim)again at Adrian Lee's Crib at 5pm today.. anyone interested just give him a call at 017-8898411 for directions..

Anyway, i gtg now, i really upset and getting depressed.. for the past week i've been arranging the shipping details (and etc) with my PRS dealer and PRS themselves on the warranty issue. The good news is that PRS is going to pay for my shippping both ways! (they better be for the price i paid for the guitar, i expect excellent cust serv) But the bad news is that I'll miss the guitar like hell. FedEx is coming over to pick my guitar up in the afternoon later... :( I feel like crying.. really :( *sob*sob*
