Hey.. Just realised that wordpress is getting fast… is it the time I log it? if so, that means evening ard 5.30pm is a good time to blog and after 12 midnight is a real bad time… alrite, my post is not about this again..

Had my first 2 problems with ebay’s stuff.

1) I just bought a scottish dagger known as Sgian Dubh. Yes!! a new toy into my collection, but the transaction wasn’t as smooth as I expected it to be. Well, I was hoping that it will in my letterbox within 10 days after my transaction, but guess wad…. a letter came instead, notifying me that it is held up at the customs as it seems to be a controlled item. Told be to bring the item to the Arms & Explosives Licensing Division for inspection.

It’s soooooo troublesome… it’s just a small blunt knife which is less dangerous than a penknife requires licence? Apparently, they classified as dagger.. so the difference in its term is the caused of all these trouble. Managed to collected it from post office and send it down to the licensing division at Cantoment today… After all the trouble, the guy said i think it doesn’t require licensing la.. the blade not sharp… but dun bring it around… I am not sure if I should thank him or curse him.. I guess thank ba.. since he didn’t prolonged my agony by applying for the license and ask me to come back another day…

As I was inspecting my item, I was kind of disappointed. This thing that take up so much of my time has an unpolished “jewel” or plastic (it doesn’t matter that much) with glue marks at the side. The scabbard is also very loose.. cannot hold on to the blade at all. Haiz.. well.. i guess that is the risk you are going to get when you shop in ebay…

2) I bought another kilt pin around the same time is not here yet. The reason is because the seller has problem with his/her paypal account after i paid… IS THAT MY PROBLEM?? apparently it became my problem as he/she told me to email paypal to return my money.. come on.. it’s your problem.. and using your common sense will know that no matter how much I contact them.. only the person with that has the ability to return the money is the one with the money… arghh..

I still contact them anyway.. wanting to get over and done with ASAP… just as expected, paypal told me to ask the seller to contact them.. I told the seller.. he/she said that he/she got it working again and can send my item.. it’s a total waste of my precious time.. I promised myself that I will not leave a positive remark for him/her…

Of course there are still good stuff selling in ebay.. Just bought a new ghillie brogue for around $92, inclusive of shipping, for Brandon. sent to my house…. no problems at all.

Ok.. here are some of the pictures of my new toy… and I am glad to say.. there are many more toys on the way…

Hey.. I have set up this bass & tenor page.. I’m trying to put in more tutorials that can be found on the web… If you have found any interesting Tenor links about anything, feel free to comment it.. I will try include it… God Bless!!

After knowing that eBay exists for eons, I have won my first bid today. As you know that my interested in tenor drumming is building, I have been searching for stuff related to tenor. I have registered myself into eBay 2 days ago, after coming across someone selling Learn Pipe Band Drumming DVD.

I managed to won the bid using £14.50. The DVD plus postage cost me a total of £20.50. I really hope that after spending about SDG$200 in buying tenor drumming resources, I can help to form a superior bass section in 12th Singapore Company (Barker Road) Pipe Band.
