The name is Khairul. Would do fine with Khai or Kerol [kay-roll] - with proper pronunciation that is.

May have caused a traumatic experience to the nurses who were there when I graced the world on the 14th of June, 21 years ago.

I reside at the great eastern side of Singapore. At an estate named after a water containment facility. Go figure!

A left-hander. However, I function more like a right. And sometimes left of course.

Owns a Class 3 driving licence.

Have been playing the saxophone for 8 years. Currently a Baritone Saxophonist in the Philharmonic Youth Winds.

Being and socialising with people occupy whatever free time I might have.

Boredom is sadly pathetic - would be just staring at my ceiling.

hey bloggie..

gonna update since i got nothing to do rite now besides staring at the monitor.

ok.. so lets start on Saturday.
please do tell me that i was so dumb that i din sleep on Friday night despite that late nite outing i had with myself. read the previous post in case u have no idea wth i'm toking about. :)
yeah, i'm gonna save ur breath of telling me that i'm sucha
big fat dumbo!

the moment i reached home at 12plus that nite.. after showering and supper, i landed my butt on the com chair. n thats it man. from the moment i sat, i din leave the com [besides from my frequent visits to the toilet and to get food].



from that 1AM plus. i sat all the way till 7AM!

ok.. u must be wondering WHAT THE HELL was i doing.
-chatted with frens
-updated my blog (which was the previous entry b4 this)
-watched YOUtube videos (the most time i spent on)

i was watching alot of videos. from performances of piano, to watching a 4year old prodigy playing Beethoven's famous piano concerto, to watching a video on how to play "it ends tonight" on the keyboard, to watching.. er.. to keep it short, anything that's related to music, that was wad i was watching thruout that whole time.
n not forgetting reading up about conducting on the net.

so as i've sed, stood up that whole night.
in other words i DIN sleep. (o_O)

when it was 7am, i switched off the com n had my breakfast, after i was done with my breakfast, bathed n got ready to head down to BN. took the sec1s for drills.. it was a killer. literally.. gosh.... after all that went to sit in for their combine.. played Marche Slave. MrLim did it at a slower tempo.



yada yada yada...

then tetra-ians left cos they have pre-camp drills at FTP. i din head down there.
band ended.
had free food from the school. Spagghetti and Cheesy Hot Dog. n after tat went techview to drink cos only god knows how thirsty i was.
[NOT FORGETTING my tiredness]. geee.. i wonder how i survived.

so yeah.. then YinJie told me that he wanted to trim his hair @ Fusion. hmm.. heard that that shop is good. so decided to have my haircut since i'm tired of seeing my hair in a mess everyday the moment i wake up. despite being tired, i dragged myself there, together with YinJie, Chen2 and Ye'Ming.

got my haircut and i must say, i love my new haircut. :) its short though.

so afterwhich, went home. went online for awhile. i do not know how, but i somehow manage to climb up the stairs and end up on my bed. [dont ask me, i din know how the heck i ended up there]

so yeah. i somehow fell asleep. I WAS LIKE WTF.

i was suppose to like make my way to bedok inter at 5:15pm to watch TJC Concert, but when i woke up [which my bro woke me up] it was 6:15!!! AGAIN.. i went.. WTF.
wen i looked at my phone, there were 37 MISSedCALLS! geee..... i totally passed out w/o realising..
like the malays wuld say it- "tido mati". (direct translation = sleep dead)
so i rushed, the bunch of ppl i'm suppose to meet went off 1st.

then somehow finah was making her way to bedok inter, so asked her to meet me at Eunos. i explained to her how dumb i was. haha! k.. i cant stand it, but i was obviously so dumb to not sleep when i know that there's a pretty (er.. no.. VERY) long day ahead.

yada yada.. reached VCH. met with the others. settled the tix thingy. n yeah, went in to watch the concert duh..



the ticket. nice isnt it?

the program booklet

overall, the concert was SUPERB. all the songs that were being played was all new to me, so great exposure i supoz. The 1st few pieces all had singing in it [i mean like those choir type; cool though.]

then the alumni band performed, of which has singing too. btw, saw ms loh.. she was playing the piccolo. then after interval, it was the JC1 members production. there was a small band at the back doing sound effects while some of them acted out a skit. it was based on the story Cinderella. cool though. n not forgetting funny.. VERY FUNNY! esp the fairy godFATHER.. haha.. yes fairy GODFATHER! he was acting so gay-ly.. haha! very hilarious..

then there was a solo performance by this tuba guy. he was playing wad Aaron [tuba tutor] played during Parent's Night. Multiphonics and stuffs. but that TJ tubist, there's this one part where he beatboxed while playing the tuba. uber coolness man...

n after that it was the main band's performance.

had "Cant Take My Eyes Off You" for their last piece. the flute soloist was the fairy godfather. haha!
before they started the piece, someone shouted "FAIRY GODFATHER!".. he turned and laughed. haha! everybody in the concert hall was laughing. so yeah.

their encore piece was this DRUM-SET solo.. n they were scissors-paper-stone-ing of who to play the drum set. haha!

ok.. overall the concert was superb.

the horn section damn GOOD! [carolyn, too bad u din go]
trumpet section was GOOD!
generally their brasses are GOOD.
the alumni band was VERY GOOD.

EVERYTHING was GOOD. easier sed.. haha!

n did i mention that 2nd half onwards including the encore piece? Mr Lin din conduct. it was the student conductors who conducted the band. cool heh.. i wuld like to tat someday. :D hmm....

ok enuf bout that.. after the concert met up with my best buddy from St Gabriel's, ChinHong.
yep.. he was with his frens. at 1st he asked me to have supper together with the St. Gabriel's peeps but in the end, he decided to join me instead [w/o his frens] together with the BN peeps who went to the concert. At 1st he wanted to eat Stingray [random] at Lau Pa Sat. hahaha! then decided to jus head down to MarinaSquare's Macdees.. some ppl pangseh me n decided to head home.. aniways.. the journey there was fun.. talking to him and stuffs. reach Mac, i ate McSpicy meal. McSpicy burger is getting spicier nowadays. i was the last to finish though. while eating chit chatted. wah.. talking to ChinHong is fun.. he makes a good chat buddy.

n yeah.. not forgetting.. while on our way to the train station, he saw someone who has the same shirt as him. [bare that in mind the shirt was in his beg]. he was so excited that he actually took the shirt and show it to him. i went.. "WTH.. I SERIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW YOU" in a sarcastic manner..
n wads worst, he wore that shirt on the spot.. for a moment that guy who has the same shirt as ChinHong was freaking out. haha!
took the train, ChinHong dropped at PAYA LEBAR n it was left with me, yinjie, pauline and xiang2.
we alighted at Bedok. Took 228.. n damn, I WAS SO TIRED.

I SERIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW HOW THE HELL I SURVIVED SATURDAY!


i showered n landed on my bed n went dead [sleep i mean].. haha!
woke up at 12plus on Sunday.
MOM bought Nasi Lemak for breakfast n obviously i had late breakfast...
ate... then showered and stuffs n went out to meet idham for PY pract.
took 30.. was abit late though..
arrived in the audi n MrYeow was talking to the band..

ok.. there were mixed feelings while i was in the audi.
1stly, was happy cos PY members are given free tickets to PHILwinds concert on the 9th of JUNE.
[well its not free its jus tat we have to pay like 1buck for the sistic charges] :))
2ndly, i felt bad.. cos the remaining of the repertoires for our inaugural concert with Mr Glosz was all chosen by BN/ex-BN ppl.

i felt that it was unfair cos we din actually gave a chance to those other pieces they voted for.
talked to MrYeow bout it but then he says its ok, cos the other pieces they voted for was too tough. felt abit better after that. but that feeling bad thing was still in me.. i'm afraid that i'll be getting that "you-din-giv-us-a-chance-vibe" from the others... well...
anyhoos, went for combine sectionals. this time round Mr Lim Lip Hua took us.. played Poet and Noah's Ark. yada yada..
stopped at 5:40pm.. packed up n went to look for Lionel cos idham needed to take sth from him.

afterwhich, went Parkway Banquet with Fidah, BEcky and Idham. then met up with Syaa at Parkway. went for dinner together.

skip skip skip skip
