karaoke @ changi beach club
i was feeling rather unwell for the entire of this week, as i just recovered from a fever, and then became down with sore throat. and it certainly didnt help that i went karaoke-ing with a few of my council mates:
charles,
amelia and
guanghao on wed night. but it was definitely good singing with my "kbox kakis" again :D
instead of going kbox, we went to this karaoke room which
charles booked at changi beach club. he drove us there, and we reached the place at around 8. it was the first time i was singing at anywhere other than kbox. i was a little doubtful of the standard of the song list there at first, but when i checked out the song list, i discovered that it had up till stanley and FLH's new songs, so it was considered rather updated! was quite impressed with their large song library, and the sound system wasnt that bad either. and the best thing of it all, after singing for 3 hours, the bill was only $31. how often do u see this kind of figures at kbox haha. oh actually, it is impossible to see this kind of figures at kbox.
anyway, i got to sing many of the songs i had wanted to sing for a long while, like o mai ga and tu ran hao xiang ni! also sang stanley's zui hou zhi hao tang xia lai... which had a really amusing MV. we left at 11, and went for supper at this bedok hawker centre, which took quite a while for us to find. had oyster omelette, which was very delicious, but oily, so i didnt eat much lest it further aggravated my throat condition. i also ordered lime juice (since i havent had a nice sour drink for a long time), but got sugar cane drink instead. -_-" i wonder how the drink vendor could mix up these 2 drinks. oh well.
got home at 1+, and quickly downed a cup of warm honey water before i went to shower and then catch some sleep. my throat felt really bad the next day, but surprisingly i was still able to carry on with my 2 lessons.
generally, once this week began and tutorials started, everything just seemed really hectic. sometimes, after having 2 back to back lessons, i will just return to my cubicle, sit down and just stone for 5 min to catch my breath before i do anything else. every tutorial is really like a race for time, as i try to reach the target set for the tutorial lesson itself. and for some reason, ill always run out of time. maybe i did too much explanations or something like that haha. but now i fully understand how teachers sometimes asked their students to give them 5 extra minutes, which often turns to 10 or even 15 minutes ): hopefully ill be more accustomed by the time next week begins!
anyway, jolin's new song 耍大牌 shou-boed this week, and frankly speaking, i was a little disappointed. the first hit is nice, but it is no different from jolin's previous fast songs. after such a long wait, i had quite high expectations of the first hit, but there were totally no surprises at all. BUT it is still generally very groovy and energetic, so i still like the song! (: ok i think im just biased towards jolin haha.
