Went to the usual place that Mom would always go to. Good food! Trust me. I ate Chicken Briyani and it was truly heaven-licious. I know, Briyani for BREAKFAST?! I was super hungry, so I ate something heavy. It is not that I ALWAYS eat that, right? Thosai for Mom and third bro, and plain rice with dishes for second bro and Dad.

An hour after I got home, showered (again) and headed back out again. Met Idham and then off to City Hall to meet up with Nich and Khai Boon. The saxophone section of the Philharmonic Youth Winds. It was more like a get-together. Headed to The Esplanade after we had our early dinner. Met up with some of the PHILyouth peeps and delegated duties to give out the lightsticks. Mr Chiang needed our help to give out the lightsticks (last minute).
I shall leave this portion for pictures.
There were A LOT to break, that is for sure.
Idham was breaking it like Confucious, if you get what I mean.

Basically, the concert was simply awesome! First time attending a concert by the Philharmonic Winds with a rowdy and pumped up audience. Yeah, PHILwinds went POP! There were quite a number of songs that we can recognise from at least somewhere. Definitely, some of the recognisable ones were songs like 'Sweet Child of Mine' by Guns and Roses, 'Hello' by Lionel Richie, 'I Believe' from the romantic-comedy movie "My Sassy Girl" are just some of them to name a few.
There were two guest singers. First singer that went out was Tay Kewei. She is one hot singer. She sang 'Fly me to the moon'; jazz style, some French song which she ended it with a flying kiss and another which I can't seem to recall. But anyway, she was awesome!
Comes the twenty minutes intermission and had this idea of heading down to the first floor, hoping that we would bump into Kewei. And so we did! There were quite a number of people who wanted to take pictures with her but did not seem to have the courage to step forward and ask. So, I went forward and asked her politely; and she agreed! Haha!
Drum roll . . . .

I complimented on her nice singing and all she did
was to smile widely and said thank you.
Cheeky?? Nah!
The next singer was Sebastian Tan. He sang two hit-songs by Robbie Williams. 'Angels' and 'Better man', and some tai-tai Hokkien song. In case you do not know who Sebastian Tan is. He was one of the actors who acted in Army Daze. Yes ladies! He's an actor AND a singer.
Concert ended with a loud cheer (from that huge group of CHIJ girls behind us). It ended promptly at 10 pm. It was one of a kind concert, especially by the Philharmonic Winds. It gave a breath of fresh air and it definitely showed the versatility of Singapore's top wind band. Will be looking forward to more concerts in the near future.
Going to abruptly end my entry because I am getting pretty tired.
Ciao!
Last piece of the night was the mega-hit song 'Umbrella', made famous by Rihanna. I have never heard of the band arrangement for that song and I must say, it was a very nice one. Cool stuff! YMCA was their encore piece and there were A HUGE GROUP of girls sitting behind us, shouting "C... H.. I.. J!" in replacement of the ORIGINAL, "Y.M.C.A.". Excuse me, this is The Philharmonic Winds' concert, not CHIJ's. All I heard was CHIJ! What the heck?
