the day we went singing...

... and made music the universal language.

english is the language that connects us 3 (or the one that connects me to them - haha!). QT can speak chinese and HL can speak both malay + chinese. None of them can speak filipino but me. Wow, all-in-all, we can speak 5 different languages (including the language of music). hehe. how about the language of love? that's a different story. hehehe!

so we went to a ktv (red box) and honestly, i didnt expect these 2 guys to have a game in singing. i was very surprised and i think it's cool. these guys can sing! although i shouldnt really be surprised because when we were driving down from the tropical farm, we were talking about the type of music we like and we started talking about the music we were playing in the car. HL started sharing how he uses music to charm a girl he likes. how all-4-one and boys 2 men did it (or break it) for him. hahaha! QT used celine dion's titanic classic 'my heart will go on' -- which we all agreed is a beautiful song especially when you listen to it while watching the mtv (jack!) hahaha! i know it sounds cheesy, but guys talk about these things too you know. we just dont talk about how celine dion spreads her legs while singing. we actually care about the music lah! hahaha!

going back to the ktv ... i warmed up the mic with a josh groban song (yea, it was out-of-tune -- that's why i said warm-up). unfortunately or fortunately, there were no available filipino songs, so they were spared of hearing me sing in filipino. then came the song "right here waiting for you" by richard marx, which the 3 of us sang in very good harmony i'd say. and so we annointed it as our 'theme song'. haha. and the lyrics -- oh man! hahaha!

Ocean's apart day after day (south china sea?)

And I slowly go insane

I hear your voice on the line (bridge conference line?)

But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never (cost cutting? :( )

How can we say forever

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times

That I thought would last somehow

I hear the laughter, I taste the tears

But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby

You've got me going crazy

Repeat chorus

I wonder how we can survive

This romance (fishing? hahaha!)

But in the end if I'm with you

I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it baby

You've got me going crazy

Repeat chorus

I'm trying to post a photo of 3 of us in the ktv, but for some reason it's not working ...

will try again next time...
