KuKuNehNeh (KKNN) and I went out with a bunch of friends over the weekend to K-Box for a karaoke session. It’t kind of rare for me to go to a karaoke joint, simply because I cannot sing. Because of my low, sexy gruffy voice, I sound more like a frog croaking more than anything human. It also doesn’t help that almost all the mainstream singers have voices in the higher ranges.

.

Mariah Carey has been said to have a glass shattering voice range that is close to 6 octaves and I guess the typical male or female singer is close to 3.5 octaves. I think I do have a respectable singing voice range or about 2 to 2.5 but the problem is that it is on the LOW end. I know that one can adjust the key at karaoke sessions but it is bloody troublesome!

I can’t sing most male songs. However, I can sing most female songs in the correct key but in the low octaves. The effect is incredibly funny when you see a hot and pretty singer on the karaoke screen mouthing the lyrics with my croaking voice in your ears.

Victor, on the far right who is KKNN’s cousin can really sing as well!

I used to play the guitar and sing in my own key and I did some recordings just for fun and torture my friends by sending it to them. I tweaked the audio file so that I sound like a chipmunk to reduce the amount of friends leaving me after hearing me sing.

WARNING!!! DO NOT PLAY THE SONG LOUDLY! KNOWN SIDE EFFECTS ARE QUEASINESS IN THE STOMACH AND INABILITY TO TRUST ANY MUSICS FILES ON THE INTERNET!

Listen to it at imeem if you cannot see the player above.

And since I didn’t lug a tank of helium to karaoke that day and I cannot just keep munching on the snacks, I have to find other forms of entertainment.

My Saturdays are usually planned with one or two highlights like maybe a movie, clubbing, an ad-hoc trip somewhere or maybe a dinner with friends. So, KuKuNehNeh and I were quite worried when we had 3 events lined up for last Saturday.

First up was an ROM ceremony for KuKuNehNeh’s cousin at Swissotel Merchant Court. The couple chose to hold the ceremony at the poolside and the weather was very kind. These couple of weeks, Singapore either had blazing, underwear wet-wet, scorching hot sun or downpours of dogs and cats and whatever animals you can think of. KuKuNehNeh remarked to me that the couple were Christians and they probably prayed very hard for good weather the night before. I am such a free-thinker that Singapore might encounter its first sight of snow if I tried to pray for good weather on my wedding. So, don’t say that I didn’t warn you guys when the day comes.

We lazed on the chairs in the cool, cloudy midday and took some pictures.

After the ceremony, the guests were invited to a high-tea buffet at Ellenborough Market Cafe. The food was pretty good that I promptly forgot to take any pictures of it and gorged myself like a pig who went through 2 years of famine.

.

After lunch, we got a lift home from Wee Peng and changed into a more casual attire for a crab feast at Ang Mo Kio Ave 3.

The kind soul treating us is none other than a funny dude called Ah Lee who was celebrating his Birthday!

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY AH LEE!”

Oh, Ah Lee is SINGLE! All you ladies better grab him fast! All he asks for in a woman is only ONE THING! And it can be described using TWO NUMBERS and ONE LETTER.

Caught in the act

Why do I look like I have a bf in this pic rather than a gf?

After saying our goodbyes to this group of friends, we went home again for another change parade and this time it’s down to Orchard Road!

Leon is KuKuNehNeh’s SIM ex-classmate and he invited friends over to Acid Bar to celebrate his birthday.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEON!”

If KuKuNehNeh is the ‘walking Friendster’, then Leon must be the ‘walking Facebook’. He probably had 1/4 of Acid Bar filled with his friends that night. KuKuNehNeh and I had a round of Erdinger while I waited for the right time to get Leon to drink with me.

Two hours into the night, I decided that it is time and asked Leon to drink with me before we went off. And this is what he said over facebook.

Yeah! Me LOVES FLAMING LAMBORGHINI!

.

We took a couple of group pictures as well.

The photo above looks normal right. But I noticed something….
