4:01 pm
I'm telling you. It's been quite sometime since I've had that much fun.Yesterday, was Darren's sweet 16 celebration. Yep. I was the first to arrive at his place, as usual (lawl). I regretted wearing long sleeve =\. I anticipated that my mum would fetch me to his place, but she was out. Boo frickin hoo. 10 minute walk in the afternoon sun, when it's near the autumn equinox, and dressed in long sleeve.
Okay, enough whining. So I got to Darren's place, slacked around a bit and Bfoo arrived soon after.
Nothing much to describe what happened next, really. As usual, we mucked around the consoles and PC, and bagero joined us shortly. Here's the funny. *DotA In-Joke Alert* Bfoo was playing Furion, so he wanted to summon them trees. He misclicked and an error message appeared. "Need to target a tree."
Frickin irony, it's a bloody tree playing the game anyway!
Darren's CCHMS guys ditched him. Tsk. Typical.
Joy came shortly after, and I had NO idea why she wanted to keep hiding her face. Well, I caught a few glimpses, and I felt she looked good. Oh well.
Dinner was at Jack's place, and unsurprisingly, Chester and Ming Cong were late. Blim took the cake for being the latest, and he had the privilege of making 2 useless rounds around Sakae Sushi looking for us =D. That's what you get for making us wait.
For the first time in my life, I ate escargos and clams. Damn the clam tasted nasty. Super strong taste thingy, despite having lemon and some sour-spicy sauce splashed generously across it. Felt like puking after eating the clam. Surprisingly, the escargo was pretty good. Maybe I'll eat it next time.
Laughs were shared over dinner, and Chester and I ordered a cake for Darren. Blackforest. Classic.
Well, something unfortunate did happen, but it was rectified quickly and we all got over it anyway.
Next was pretty much the highlight of the day. The third 'first time in my life' today. I went to Kbox (I normally avoid these places. You see frickin Chinese songs everywhere) and we had a whale of a time.
Kinda expensive, $23 per person, but we could stay till 3 am. 4 jugs of ginger beer (mmmm) and complimentary snacks. At first I thought the drinks were a bit excessive, but I soon realized we needed tons of the sweet liquid to soothe tired and strained vocal chords. Lol.
I tried my hand at Somethin' Stupid (dueted with Joy the first time. Omg =\. That girl can sing.) and it was horrrrrrible. Your voice sounds totally different when you hear it for yourself. I wanted to just go "Screw it. Just skip me" because it was THAT horrible. Wtf.
And yes, Joy can sing. She was totally unaffected by Daryl Ho's off-pitch, off-tune singing. Okay, well Daryl Ho got it later and everything went okay. Did I mention how she was on-tune like 95% of the time? Damnnit *green eyes*. Daryl How, however (lawl pun) seems to be relatively tone deaf, singing in his talking voice all the time lol.
Darren didn't really get to sing "Back at One", because the Kbox version was screweeed. Oh yeah, and their selection of English songs are extremely old and limited. Sheesh. Chinese songs? You got a whole gigantanourmous collection of them. Communists! Every last one of them!
Okay okay. To be fair, and to off-set the uber negativity of my previous post towards Chinese music, I've got exposed to quite a fair bit at Kbox. I change one or two opinions.
One, that I can afford to add one or two more songs to my Chinese songs library.
Two, that SHE really isn't that bad. They can sing. But they're still overrated, especially Hebe. *Hides from Blim*. I maybe crazy, or have weird taste, but I still like Selina's look better than Hebe. Sue me.
Three, that Jay Chou is ugly, but has talent. EDIT: In singing and composing. NOT rapping and acting.
Imo, Joy took the cake for best singer, followed by Blim. I want to go back there again sometime. I can't believe I'm that bad ._.
Bloody burnt out right now. Tuition in 40 minutes. G'day all.
