I had so much fucking fun today, while at the same time staying productive. It's.. phew hella awesome.So yeah we got up in the morning, but because of some business last night I overslept today, but yeah, headed over to mac's and studied with Darren.
Joy dropped by halfway, and at about lunch time-ish I got fed up with the noise and general crampiness and crapiness of the place. Kids just finished their O level paper for the day, and mac's was getting flooded.
Randomly, Darren suggested we head to the KTV. I told 'em I know a place, it's hella cheap and very decent. Not that I really like KTVs, or maybe it's because it was only once that relevant songs actually played, and that was like what, 3 years ago? Darren's birthday.
Anyway, it's one of those times where Darren actually SUGGESTS SOMETHING RANDOM, BUT IT SOMEHOW HITS THE SPOT!
18 bucks for 3 hours, split it amongst 3 people and you got yourself crazy entertainment at an even more insane price. God I sound like an advertisement. Future career call in case I fuck up rofl.
Anyway, yeah, like all KTV sessions, everyone starts of a lil shy and laughing nervously. Then we built up steam and I have to say, the highlight was DEFINITELY Time to Say Goodbye.
It was just FUCKING HILARIOUS.
Look, anyone who hasn't been living under a rock knows what kind of song it is. It's done by two operettas, or pseudo-operettas, but you get the point. It's a beautiful song, but we're beautiful people so we gave it a shot. Or rather, I sabotaged us by picking it.
So anyway, the girl goes first, the first stanza Joy could handle pretty well, then as the chorus approached I started sniggering. I stopped after the chorus ended.
Good god that girl can sing! Second time I'm saying this, but she can!
It's none of that "Oh girls can sing better usually, they hit the higher notes better!"
There was actually control, and trust me, I've heard a girl sing many a times. This one takes the cake. Fantastic work.
MC, Darren and I all agreed, yes Chinese songs are fun to sing, but it's because they're easy. English songs have real variation and need real control. Call me biased, I make no apology. I only know what my ears hear, and I heard something surprisingly nice today.
Pat on the back Joy, lookin' to hear more stuff from you.
Darren and I fucked up LOL but it was a fun fuck up. I did this throaty shit on purpose to try and sound like Andrea Bocelli, and we all know how that would end up without even having to try, or having to listen to it.
But who cares?! It was HELLA FUN and crazy, we were just yelling and having a blast.
It's been awhile since I unwinded like this, and yes it feels good. I'm so high right now just recounting it. Good stuff, good stuff!
