Karaoke Dreamin'

It so happens that there were plans to pay a visit to Red Box Plus today, for the 11am - 3pm slot where there's the buffet lunch thrown in for RM25++. As far as we knew, karaoke in the morning and dinner was the plan. In between? We were sure something would come up to help pass the time.

However, given that for the last two weeks in December we have not been stepping into the gym and BodyJam yesterday was the first class of the year, we were expecting to be a bit koyaked today. True enough, we showed up at Red Box Plus at 1.30pm.

Well that we had a late night movie, supper and bedded down fairly late didn't help really...even when we had a shocking wake-up call at 10.30am to be informed that a friend got into an accident, after finding out that he was fine we succumbed to sleep again and taichi'ed all further karaoke-related phone calls or messages to the organizer.

When we arrived, we took the simple approach by singing whatever songs came up rather than rack our brains for specific songs to sing - resulting in almost all the songs played from the time we walked into the room till our last song were songs by female artists. There was Kylie, Madonna, Fergie, Nicole Kidman (with Robbie Williams, they did Something Stupid), Mariah and Whitney, Brandy and Monica, ABBA...Hmmm. We can do backup singing for people - it's easier than repitching the song so that we can sing without having to jump from the higher octave to the lower octave for the chorus.

We think what was most freaky about the entire karaoke bit was when Kylie's songs from her Fever album were playing. A bunch of us were dancing to the music, and mind you we've never danced together before so there's no planned choreography, but everyone did the same actions. Whoa.
