I'm back!

Surprised? Sure has been a hell of a long time. Hey, I'll admit it bluntly : there's only one reason why I haven't been updating up till now. I WAS LAZY! Always was...always am and unfortunately, always will be. Weird, how I'm declaring something that's bad. haha.

Here's a gist, though, of what's been going on. I'll start with the most important.

1. I'm in SAF Band (yes, because I don't want to spend the rest of my NS life chiong sua-ing), Central Band

2. I got myself a new keyboard...the Yamaha DGX-220 portable grand. Nothing to show off, actually.

3. I got myself a metronome...the Boss Dr.Beat DB-60, over which Zack can't stop calling me a fucker. He picked it up for me from Swee Lee because I wasn't free. Cost me $96!

4. I'm learning drumset!! Yes I'm a noob. I practice everyday in band okay.

Anything else, I forgot. hahaha. STM lah, sorry. Damn it, I gotta admit since my enlistment my use of English has gone down the drain. Especially since most of the time in the army my vocabulary is made up of words too familiar for my own good. I won't list them down here =)

You know what? Despite not having blogged for a long time, a long post seems out of my means to me today. haha. I just don't have much to talk about! It's either trivial stuff or stuff I'd rather not talk about. I know I'd get a ribbing from dear if I don't dedicate at least a paragraph to her on this post, but she knows that I know that she knows that I don't like to publicize my love life =) hehe. IT'S NOT AN EXCUSE!!! it be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God. 

Speaking of God...ah nevermind.

Hari Raya is this week and I'm all fired up for it! No, not for visiting or collecting money (surprise, surprise. Khairul ain't money faced this year). I'm looking forward more to the 5 days of off I'm getting from work. Wednesday to Sunday baby! And Tuesday's a half day for me! Speaking of leave, I'll be having two weeks block leave come December too. I'll be sure to call my friends in SAF Band every morning and tell them I'm still in bed. hehehe! Now I wonder what I'll be doing these few days. There's just so little to do now. Or maybe that's just because I'm lazy. 

Still looking forward to next year's trip to Italy for Central Band...that is, if its confirmed. It'll be awesome. I've never been to Italy! should be nice.

I just took IPPT last friday and I'll be damned because I missed getting a Silver by just 5 seconds. 5 BLOODY SECONDS! I'd still consider it an achievement to be able to run 2.4km in 11:45 despite the fact that I haven't been running AT ALL since I passed out of BMT (my time in BMT was 10:38 btw, not very much ahead). So I'll be retaking IPPT next month. Damn it, I want that badge and the $100! I'd try for Gold but 9:44 seems a little too godlike for me right now. I can't jump 234cm on the mat either. I'm just bloody surprised that sit ups have become a problem for me now, even. My pacs are failing me. hahaha. Gotta start training on those crunches and push-ups again.

Gah...my aunt is coming to pick us up to go to Ikea in like 9 minutes. I'm not really looking forward to it. Especially the food. Its like damn ex, but the portion is pathetic. Not really tasty, either. I still remember how dear tried to get me to eat the meatballs there. I told her no, it's pork! And she said "can't you just pop one in???" and I was like wtf lol if I eat one or a hundred, its still pork right! hahaha. no logic.

Goodness me. This has turned into a long post. haha. I guess I don't know where to stop. But I do now! HERE!

cheers and woe is anyone who feels SAF Band is for pussies.
