Tired but FUNNY ktv session!!
Ok, today is a day when i am kept away from my computer, letting it to rest for today..... at least the afternoon to evening hehehe~~~
Went to sch to hand in my essay.... and i have a big cock-up...... i was tapping my wallet on the ez-link sensor but there's not beep sound. I kept trying.... but nothing happened. so I opened my wallet and gosh.... my ez-link was not inside!! >.< stupid me. I forgot to put the newly charged card into my wallet. So after handing up the essay, I had to take another trip home to get my card. anyway, my slippers was 'breaking'.... "due to low durability and there is no blacksmith ard to repair it". haha gaming terms!!! u understand wat i meant rite? okok... ^^ So went out again to orchard to meet up with jov n wk for ktv at cineleisure. gabz came later~ Hmm... this time at least 3/4 of my songs are new, including quite new songs and those never sang before in ktv. haha~ Oh! I even tried the theme song sang by Jackie Chan and the Korean actress in the move "Myth"!! haha quite an easy song... wk sang for the guy part. Oh later towards the end, we even tried Phantom of the Opera!!! I chose the english version. Gab and wk tried the guy parts. apparently, they tried to act the broadway or opera style while their voice already half gone le.... so ended up very funny. Jov only sat there and kept laughing non stop!! Actually, so funny until i was trying hard to sing in between my giggling. lol!!! Then sang halfway, jov and wk suggested the chinese version by Fei Xiang and a lady dunno who. OMG! Of cos i cannot sing much la!! how!! chinese leh! seeing the lyrics for the first time and trying to fit them into the melody or tune sounded weird!!!! And more laughter as wk and gab both tried to sing with deep deep low low voice hhahaha sounded like howling and growling to me!!! MUAHAHAHA! And i cannot do the screeching high part at the end... they trying to sabo me eh?? haha kidding...
We sang from 2 to almost 9pm lor~~ haha my voice not as damaged as the 2 howling guys haha.... i can still lalalala now... Jovie left first~ cos she didnt want to reach home that late... i think tml she got lessons ba, tt's y. so we 3 went to grab some food and chatted abit... hehe.... contents will be kept confidential. haha by saying that would arouse ur curiosity? lol aiya dun worry, nothing much.
hehe i bet jovie damn happy with the new pile of animes and plus the March of the Penguin movie from me. Me too~~ Jovie lent me 2 movies too! yea!! life is more than chatting and gaming now lol.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
March of The PenguinI watched this movie at home during the exam period while taking a rest. It all started becos sis told me abt this show, and soon she bought their movie vcds.... and later after watching, she tempted me to watch by sending the files over to me!!! >.< lol~~ Yes... indeed the movie is very nice. After I watched, I felt very very..... erm... treasure life more? Very touching movie... and romantic at times... and sad at times..... and relieved and happy for them at times. Cant believe a documentary movie can create all these feelings and thoughts on viewers...? watch it urself manz.... u can get the cds from me. currently at jo's hands. but if u wan i can burn another copy. It takes 2 discs anyway. I feel the emperor penguins are very 伟大. To endure all the hardships. So the conclusion is, dun take things ard u for granted. U haf a house to keep u warm. Ur parents dun haf to take turns to come back after every 4 mths to find food for u and for themselves. U dun understand how severe starvation can be. etc etc etc....
Lol I cope some photos from the net and posted them here after this blog. U can take a look at them. I showed jov earlier on from my msn pic. I told her how cute the little penguisn are and I feel like hugging them. She said something like: ya, very cute, but not nice to hug...... cos they look so cold.... hahaha~~~~ ya la true... they are covered with ice..... so sad. after i watched the movie... I feel like hugging them to give them warmth..... they are so weak against the cold harsh weather. I dun wan to see them suffer anymore >.< I wanna build a shelter or warm hut large enuff for all of them to cuddle together and protected against the weather. However when doing so, they may lose that beauty of their determination and their nature of surviving in the climate. They will end up dependant on humans.... ok.... so i guess... there's nothing can be really done....
all right, enjoy the photos!
