Serendipity

After having rejected my ex-colleague’s countless requests for a KTV session [which naturally involve drinks, given that she's an alcoholic!], I decided to take up the offer she gave on Saturday.

After all, I was the one who announced to some of my KTV kakis that I’d like to go sing my lungs out. Everyone was either broke, busy or they thought singing with just one other person equates boredom. -.-"

I was glad I went, since I could possibly tear my tresses out being cooped up in my room [ironically though, I adore my room].

Serene [my ex-colleague]’s bunch of friends are the ‘older’ bunch of friends she has. Unknowingly, I declined the previous offer, which was a KTV outing with her younger bunch of friends. Naively, I thought that the lounge would only have oldies, and very little new pop songs, but boy, was I in for a surprise! They even have Stefanie Sun’s ‘wo huai nian de’!

I love the environment there, at the Bukit Batok Civil Service Center Clubhouse. Too bad I don’t know any members there! The Karaoke Hall Lounge is quite a nice place to practise for competitions, etc. Priced at $7, you could sing in the hall on weekends from 1pm till 5pm without having much crowd. You could even bring your own Karaoke CDs!

I should have taken a few photos of the place, it’s quite cosy and chalet-like. These civil servants have it real damn good!

My singing skills improved after a few rounds of beer. God knows how many mugs I drank, for the water level in my mug never seemed to reach zero. The next thing I know, it was topped to the brim. Well done. :p

One of the uncles [I supposed in his forties] commented that us youngsters seem to sing with more gutso and strength, the more we sing. Whereas they would need to rest after a few songs after each song they sing. Heh. The other lady rocks in Hokkien songs, and the uncles commented that my singing can ‘fight’ with hers. O_O

So my voice was commented as 清，幼，细. And after I sang 新不了情, they said I’ve got technique. Muwahaha. That was my most practised song, whaddya think? :p I was so tipsy, I almost lost my balance in the ladies. Good thing I didn’t fall.

Wanted to cab home after a fun-filled crooning session, but Serene suggested that her friend drive me home. And he suggested for us to eat supper, because it wouldn’t be worth it if he were caught in his tipsy state by the road blocks. So we [2 uncles and me!] went to the nearby coffee shop to have porridge as supper. Heh.

Reached home after walking in zig-zag lines, haha. :p I love the feeling of being tipsy though, and I get tipsy/high really fast. Haha.
