Of Wah Wah Pedal and Fifa World Cup 2006

i finally received the wah wah pedal on monday. should have get it on saturday, but unfortunately, the company is not working on weekends. the person who delivered the pedal called so damn early in the monrning, if i'm not mistaken, it was around 8am++. WHAT THE HELL. Spent the whole weekend messing around the my new zoom G2 efx pedal. getting hold of it now. but still need to explore some parts of the configuration, and how to get certain sounds that i liked.

got a few sounds that i customised myself, cant always relied on those default settings. some of them good, some of them... hmmm not to my liking. i prefer to customised them so that i can play my own songs and have my own kind of sounds. been playing EA's FIFA World Cup 06. quite cool game, easy to get hold to. unlike Winning Eleven which more difficult to even practive the basics like dribbling, crossing and stuff. It's too real. Even scoring a goal was not an easy task. In FIFA WC 2006, it was quite easy, sometimes you can even score from outside of the penalty box..

the game was quite addictive considering that i spent like 4 hours on it at wee hour in the morning. i was supposed to played 2 qualifying games, after the 2 games, i was in the WC2006, playing group matches, after that top 16, quater final, semi final and finally the Final itself. as u had guess it, i 'won'. i chose Team Italy as my team. Maybe today, i will play South American qualifiers. you never know that i might win another 'World Cup'...

Messed around with my wah wah pedal yesterday. quite difficult to master. It's not just stepping on it and rock the whole way till the end of the song. I think this will need to practice more on the pedal... still needs to find some information on the wah wah pedal. where should i placed it at the efx chain? is it before the efx pedal or after it. it sounds way cool if i just put it after the efx pedal....

over spent!!!!

One thing that is bad about me is that i tend to overspent sometimes. I had millions of stuff that I wanted to buy. Mostly it's all those guitar stuff that cost around a few hundrerd bucks only. Not expensive to some, but for me, a few hundred bucks short every month can be a bit frustrating. I can't 'indulge' in proper food and stuff. Most of my budgets were spent on food alone. Fast foods, food stuff, junk food, sushi from jaya jusco (can't get the real thing, so might as well get some pretty cheap substitute)
Sooo.. to cut the bloody story short. I bought a bloody guitar effext pedal for 400 bucks. Cheap eh??!!! But not for me man... And to make matter worse, I scouted something from ebay. a fucking cheap wah wah pedal. just fucking 155bucks. not sure of the quality, but fucking cares when u can get behringer pedal. never tried one, so can use that to practice the skills. like the old days when i used my bloody hofma electric guitar to brush my-so-called-guitar-skills. If i waited till i get a jim dunlop "cry baby", that would be too late.
Should i get the bloody pedal or not?? Damn i hate to make decisions?? and I usualy make 'bad' decisions... if you get what i mean.. Hahaha
