Ukulele

Ling says she wants to learn Ukulele for some time...
It's like a mini guitar with 4 strings instead of 6.

Wanted to surprise her with one but she seems uncertain...
Also, what if I got one which she didn't like? eg. colors and shape.

After the meetup with Wanyu and Janice after our Hard Rock stay, she wanted to go see an ukulele shop.

We went, we looked, she likes,
and I bought it for her...

Learned the guitar while in prison.
Bought myself an electric one upon release.

Had fun with it playing alone in my room mostly.
Until an accident at work which got my left hand's fingertip sliced off.
Unable to play for months...

Sold my Fender Stratocaster and Marshall amp to another deserving guitarist.

That was many years ago...

Now... the Ukulele...

Ling says it sounds cheerful and wants to learn and play for me.

The chords are different from guitar's, the frets are smaller and it's rather difficult to hold the small instrument.

Nonetheless, I think I will have less difficulty learning it compared to Ling.

We shall see...

Surprise gift which didn't surprise
While doing nothing when they're resting in the room, sneaked to the girly shop nearby.
She ran out of perfume and I'm told that Ling is fussy about fragrance choice.
Salesgirl let me sampled and was torn between these 2...
Bought both in the end.
Hope she likes them...

Ling, Kann, Kiki, Didi and Maricar went to watch fireworks at 9pm.
After the short firework display, they left for home.
Wondered if they enjoyed the outing? Nah...

Met up with Ling and strolled back to our room.


Spent some 二人世界 time and checked out in the morning after breakfast.
