perhaps the best

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.

And recently, graduated from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts where I pursued a diploma in Arts Management, majoring in Performing Arts.

(Ignore the title of my entry as I am feeling random with my thoughts at the moment)

I probably have no idea when will be the next time that I get to sit down and blog properly. Even now, looking at time I started doing this post, I am already beat. I need my precious sleep. The number of hours I sleep each day is less than what doctors would recommend you to. Most of the time I keep telling myself that I should make it a habit to turn in early but I just can't seem to drag myself to bed and close my eyes. It is one habit that I need to strike off before I see chronic diseases coming my way.

And everybody's been talking about chronic illnesses. I was watching CSI the other and they were talking about heart-related problems. I was then watching Oprah on my telly and they were talking about taking care of your heart. As much as I got afraid at the end of it, I am still as stubborn as a mule. I got to stop. In desperation, sleeping pills perhaps? Goodness. Insomnia is too drastic for me to label myself as, since I am not a person with much problems (not that I don't have problems, but they are those which I can manage; I think). But hey, if this persists, I am on my way there right? Hahaha! Gosh, who am I kidding!

Anyhoos, a couple of events happened recently and it would probably take me some time to gather the pictures and have it blogged out. Currently, two at the moment. Will be busy with band this weekend. OBOG on Saturday and Philyouth (PY) on Sunday. Yes, it is resuming this Sunday. I am still considering whether I should attend PY because Hari Raya preparations is super dead, unlike every other household. Everyone is waiting for one another. So, I rather be the first to start doing the cleaning up and engage every single member into the cleaning and making-the-house-look-nice spirit, than to do nothing at all. Hari Raya is on Wednesday. Would help out a bit more on Monday and definitely try my best to finish it on the eve of Hari Raya.

I am looking forward to it, yet I don't feel the excitement. I guess it is an age thing. Kids will be looking forward to the green packets and the money slipped inside. Whereas the older folks seeks forgiveness from one another and basically strike up conversations. But for me, I don't really look forward to anything. Apart from seeking forgiveness from parents on the morning of Hari Raya and meeting my relatives (and well, maybe a little bit of green packets), other than that, I don't really feel it. To me, it is just like any other day. When the day draws nearer (plus more Hari Raya songs being played everywhere) then maybe I will grasp the mood. Haha!

And I finally got myself an organizer! Since the day I lost my previous one, it's been haywiring. I have no clue of who's birthday is coming up, what assignment is due soon and other stuff. Were at Changi Airport in the evening. Paid Starbucks a visit and I saw organizers. Mmhmmm... I got an organizer from Starbucks. I like the font and the overall appeal. I have been telling myself to wait till 2009 to arrive and then get an organizer with the 2009 calendar, but the wait would be long. The one from Starbucks had the calendar from September 2008 till December 2009. The moment I saw it, I knew I just had to get it. Costs me $16.90. Too expensive for an organizer? Nah, don't think so. Considering this would be a long-term investment. Hmmm... a fixed asset for me as accountings would say it. Hahaha! Just hope I am more careful with it and not lose it again.

Talking about accountings (pardon my randomness), it sucks. As I perceived it as years ago. Haha! Recently had another accountings test and it was incredibly hard. We had journal entries on accruals, depreciation and what nots (which were not in layman's term if I may add), and I got lost by the time we had to create the Adjusted Trial Balance. I could not balance the Trial Balance that by the time I tried re-doing my journal entries, it was 10 minutes more till test ends. So, I gave creating the Trading Profit and Loss Account plus the Balance Sheet a definite pass. Yes! I was prepared to fail. Most of my classmates agreed that it was hard.

I spent the whole night studying accoutings and slightly more than two hours during breaks and all I received for the test looked like alphabets gone bad. Oh! Did I mention I failed my first test? I would not blame because it was a surprise test but I have only myself to throw the blame at. While revising that morning, I re-did the test paper and I felt super dumb once more. It was easy-peasy! I could finish doing it within half an hour! If I had studied, I would have secured at least 9% out of the 10%. Oh well!

So I have failed (plus the recent one I did) for both tests! Way to go! Hahaha! Year 2 is such a worrying year for me.

Alright, I guess I should end here.
It is almost time for sahur (pre-dawn meal) and I am meeting the guys for OBOG band practice at 11 am. Argh... another day with lack of sleep.

Like I have said, I will try my best to update as often but sometimes time does not permit to do so. Either that or I would be on my bed sleeping. Heh heh. But keep the tags flowing. Haha!
Ciao!
