i think i might get flamed for saying this.. but this is the first time i am so pissed off with people whu are so unreasonable and dun put himself in other pples shoes.. a grp of us were queing in the line for more than 15 hrs.. then suddenly when the store came alive people starting packing and moving forward.. thts fine.. no biggy bout tht.. but what really pisses me was the people at the back.. the grp bet ranking sports and the bookstore.. actually cut the queue.. and when we make a big hoo ha bout it.. they dun seemed to care.. its not tht i am being an ass or anything.. u can get whatever u want.. but could u pple pls think of the pple in front.. if u were us.. i bet u will feel the same way as we do.. and i am particularly speaking bout a few chinese and one indian fella.. sorry to say this.. but i think u guys werent being very fair.. in fact.. i feel tht u guys were being very arrogant bout it.. and if u guys realised.. i was the one in black making noise bros.. and i dare to admit tht.. as far as i am concern. now tht its over i couldnt give two shit bout the incident anymore.. but i seriously hope tht u guys have some kindness in giving tots to others.. i think u guys can like do this graciously rather than being a kiasu person tht we all are being labelled as.. yea.. thts all from me.. still peace from me.. jus wanted to share my tots with u guys.. so tht if theres another sale.. i hope it would be one tht pple actually cooperates with one another.. stay chilled.. and music for life!!

hey! i didnt noe any softies but i was the skinny guy in addidas t shirt, one white one black sleeve

and i got wat i wanted! i got myself the LAST ac-3 acoustic simulator. trying to find some nice tones from it, pretty hard, and it only works best for single coils. and i got an ibanez valbee and DAMN! it's damn awesome for such a cheap tube!

 

[fade2b14ck]

Tany: how's e acoustic simulator? does it sound good? pretty interested in it...

 

[napalm]

maybe next time they can give stubs to those in q so nobody can cut in

those in the front kept meeting up with their buddies and letting them go in line even if they werent there before

 

[joshie]

everyones talking about guitars. wheres ther drummers! especially those that stole all the drumsets till there were none left!

 

[nysk]

yep i was thankfully in the first batch to go in (although i was one of the last of the first batch), so i got a clear memory on those who were just behind me i.e the second batch. and at 5.30 am when i woke up, i noticed 5 new faces sitting accross me leaning on the art friend window and started Q'ing behind me once we were let in, most likely they were cutters from what i saw. and yea Nomis, i saw the big grp of chaos behind. there was this particular annoying guy shouting for SL to open when the staff just went in like at 8am to prepare the stall, he was the oni bo liao guy screaming thinkin he was so dam cool, well seriously if ur de guy and reading this, nxt time it'll really help if u just SHADDUP.

the ppl in the store were good and bad. the SL staff were particularly helpful. this emotionless guy already noes me and my fren had reserved the set and he happily just take the tag away trying to steal it. thankfully the SL guy knew i already got it so he helped me get it back. that idiot was either blur or concsienceless, if he was blur i wud forgiv him but obviously he wasnt cuz when my fren asked for it back he came up with some primary 1 standard excuse. oya and that guy was lurking around the elevator area jus b4 they opened so obviously he cut cuz i noe very sure he wasnt one of those in front of me, and yea elevator area=not in line.

im really appalled to see local musicians behaving like this. but a BIG THANK YOU to all those who helped jaga my things when i had to tend to my friends or something else, and of course to the SL staff who did an excellent job thath day, KUdos to you ppl! i dont blame the SL staff for not controlling the Q problem cuz i noe they did their best and tried very hard to kp order. but the souls of such ppl who still wanted to try their luck in cutting obviously just cant be saved. ohwell Nomis i hope u got what u want and if u didnt, hope it wasnt due to cutters...

yeah we were way at the back. we saw the lines in front moving but we were not. at 9-9:30 the people q'ing near the artfriend corner got bigger, so im assuming a few cut in their friends

 

[nysk]

yup i did see a lot of ppl suddenly appearing behind me

 

[imsuchajoker]

I think adam and the sl staff were really frustrated..

"KEEP AWAY FROM ARTFRIEND ENTRANCE"
"HELLO MOVE TO THE RIGHT"

Oh well tough job haha.

 

[trianglebiscuit]

i got in, and saw my sunburst highway 1 taken. took the orange flamed sa260, queued for awhile then realised i wasnt buying what i wanted so i returned it. didnt get anything besides helping my pals get a sa120 and a jackson dinky.

 

[napalm]

swee lee did a good job. we should email them to show our appreciation or something.

even tho a few cut in, the thing was still in order. it really hard to control kids hungry for their dream guitars hehehe
