karaoke idol
met up with steph, kris and weips for karaoke yesterday. the plan was to sing till 11.30. we left at 1.15am.
i only just realised that morning that weips and i are doing karaoke with 2 singers from the Stanford Acapella Group. We conspired to make steph with her diva voice sing the ultra low Toni Braxton songs. or sing Aerosmith or something.
didn't work, those girls just tweak the keys of the songs and then sing with ease. whenever weips and i tweak our song keys we get totally lost for the rest of the song. those girlies just change keys like nothing! damn......
there was one song steph was singing with much enthusiasm.
"Here we go here we go here we go!" she gestured excitedly as she waited for the chorus.
and then i accidentally pressed the Eject button. haha. well ok it wasn't accidental but i was totally clueless to what she was doing. I was just exploring the keys of the remote in my own little world and pressing them to see what happens. Steph was utterly stunned and dismayed (her stunned look was priceless..haha) that her anticipated chorus was gone and i was genuinely blur with the"what happened? why are you guys staring at me like that?" look.
then of course much later steph and kris did a duet of Air Supply's "without you". they were singing fantastically and whole heartedly while weips and i started dancing and messing around on the sofa. Which was all fine until we dropped the remote and accidentally pressed EJECT just as they're abt to hit the high climatic notes. it was so funny...haha. suddenly the room was silent and kris and steph were stunned again in the middle of their whole hearted rendition. Their beautiful song got destroyed by 2 poops who were just as stunned by the sudden silence followed by OOPS. (we were just trying to catch the remote!)
other highlights:
held our own Idol competition. Miss Kansas city/LA and Miss San francisco won hands down. Miss Bukit Timah a.k.a "no i'm dunearn road" got a few points deducted for being off key. Miss serangoon got negative marks for mangling the whole la bamba song.
Seriously though, kris and steph sang great. Eternal flame was so cool, and kris sang "like a virgin" beautifully. (love the "ooh" and "ah"!) They're thinking of joining the next Singapore Idol for fun. I think they should go for it.
As a group we absolutely shouted out YMCA and Go West while jumping on the sofa. And we stumbled upon a gem of a song, DJ Bombay's Taxi Taxi Calcutta.
~~~~~~~~~
Calcutta,
I am an taxi driver in
Calcutta,
I drive my little taxi in
Calcutta,
taxi, taxi, taxi,
in Calcutta
I am an taxi driver man
I like to drive the taxi
I like it very much
Even though I have no licence I always find the clutch
I can drive it off my head, I can drive it off my feet
And I have no problems getting taxi on the street
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
we didn't know how it goes, so we sang it our way. what a blast.
(one) "I'M A TAXI DRIVER IN..."
(weips) "calcutta"
(all) "TAXI TAXI TAXI in...."
(weips) "calcutta!"
(one) "i'm a taxi driver..."
(all) "MAN!"
"i'm a taxi driver..."
"MAN!"
we sang the song when we started, and we sang it again to end the session. it's like the anthem now. even though we're so pooped at the end, the song just gets you up and going cos it's so dumb and para para ah lian-ish. "Purple people eater" is a weird song too but calcutta is still tops.
------------------------
i got some pictures of weips and video clips of our calcutta song. hee ha. One of the video clips can be found here: http://sg.geocities.com/flamingo_the_bird/
(Hope the link works. Not sure abt bandwidth limitations and stuff. Feedback to me abt anything you want to feed me!)
batwoman returns
weips tries to be discreet
i suggested this pose. but now i see how dangerous it can be. gee. honestly what was i thinking. sorry!
kodak picture of the year
steph checked to see if there're rules saying we can't jump on the sofa. they just say we gotta pay for any damage done. hee. the 5 dollar a bowl "compulsory, not complementary" peanuts (and there're two bowls )are a fleece though.
-----------------------------
steph, kris and i shared a cab home.
(steph in her typically loud voice)
"something smells. (sniffs kris) Not you kris. (sniffs me) Not yvonne either. (sniffs herself). not me too. (looks at cab driver.) (silence)"
(steph) (again)
(to me) "do you think you're more heartlander or Ang mo kio is more heartlander?"
"you mean like, me versus Ang mo kio the whole town? Like comparing me with the average of all the ang mo kio residents? gee i dunno, tough."
(kris)
"steph slept 22 hours for the last 2 days. so 1 day of each week goes to sleeping. i get home and the room is ALL dark. and she complains that i switch the lights on even when i got her eye covers. TWO pairs."
"she's a neat freak too. you'll see her sprawling on the floor and then suddenly screaming 'THERE'S A STRAND OF HAIR UNDER THE CHAIR!!'"
-----------------------------
it's lovely. steph is the most energetic and hyperactive person i know. after these 5 weeks we may never spend an extended period of time together again. and for that i'm truly bummed.
"CALCUTTA!"
"TAXI TAXI TAXI in CALCUTTA!"
"I'M A TAXI DRIVER, MAN!"
