An activity filled day!

Angelene treated the whole gang to lunch at "DELIcious", Bangsar today!
The dessert was oh so good, think i will go back again one day soon.
Whee~ thanks dear!
Though i really hope that wasn't the 'farewell' party yet. We're still going to see you for BBQ right?
oOo BBQ, the thought of it just...(shouldn't think about food so late at night, will continue tomorrow.)

And after lunch we adjourned to Pyramid to do what? do what?
KARAOKE, oke!
Yeah after 2.5 years of just talking about it, we finally sang into actual mics instead of random household objects.
Took quite awhile for us to warm up, being the shy 'sei man' ( is that the correct canto spelling for 'polite'?) creatures we are (haha) .But once we got over the "scared they hear me go outta tune'' phase, it was Blast from the Past babee!

Tunes like
Britney Spears- 'Lucky', 'From the Bottom of My Broken Heart', 'HIT me Baby' ( the secret to singing like Britney people, is to sing while doing the Valsalva manoeuvre. Meaning try to sing against a closed glottis)

Backstreet Boys - 'Everybody', 'I Want it that Way', 'Drowning' ( wah this last song's mtv is super exaggerated wei! think thats why we liked copying it so much =p i played Kevin btw, the only good looking one of the lot)

Manbai - 'Kau Ilhamku' ( another very funny mtv, go watch it, look out for the lead singers hands. Its so old the Twin Towers weren't built yet when they were showed Kl's skyline)

Marron5 - "This Love" (waah i never knew it was so hamsap, no wonder young that time no mtv channel at home)

Ah Niew - "Tui Mian De Nui Hai" (Translation for ''In front girl". My all time FAVOURITE song! complete with actions! haha seriously it never fails to make me laugh this song)

Michael Buble - "Home" (emo emo emo)

Old school chinese singers - Songs that only Jen Lye knows ( sorry couldn't accompany you lar, i have no clue!It was really old school like Shanghai type of movie ok,but itu uncle looked very passionate about his Shanghai songs)

Sounds like allot of english songs for a karaoke predominantly serving chinese singers right? But Angelene balanced it our for us by singing every chinese clip that came up as advertisement between songs. *salute* every song leh, the girl is a walking jukebox!
And now i can to sing the Beijing Olympic song already : "We are ready.... *shake head from side to side* We are reaaaaaaady *hand movements then tumbs up*!"

Two things noticed:
1)We tried a few more current happening songs like "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis but i think tak jadi la. Old songs that remind us of our prepubescent years in school brings out more SSness.
2) When RedBox doesn't have the music video for a particular song, they replace it with random videos shot 500years ago. When we were singing some very meaningful song, out came this girl none of us recognised, and for the next 3 minutes she conquered the whole screen. Everything about her had nothing to do with the song. 1 minute she was playing with her necklace, then she show emo face, then suddenly skipping and laughing. The funniest part was when she was posing with a wall : lean on wall *smile*, skip to left lean on wall *smile, skip to right lean on wall *smile*, disappear behind wall pop out *smile*. Don't know if my description does it enough justice but it was hilarious!

Aaah good activity filled days like these make me feel so much less of a bum =)
