That's what karaokes are for

Kelakarlah, I memang cannot sing. No matter how hard I try, my voice cannot blend with the tempo or the music of that particular song. So the very flat, bukan setakat flat, apartment segala bagai .... pitching apa lagi, nuun jauh ke laut. If I sing, it it more like I'm reciting a poem, puisi or even like sajak. Memang out, macam I bercakap bukannya menyanyi ... takleh pakai langsung. Tapi I pedulik apa ... belasah jerrrr.

Now, I realised that's what karaokes are being invented for ... for those who can't sing like me. Normally, if I joined my friends, I'm more like a backup singer for them. They are the one who always choose the songs and when it comes to me, I would rather said, "letak jer lagu aper-aperpun, aku nyanyi jer". Kalau nak difikir2kan, if I can sing very well, sure I dah jadi penyanyi macam Siti Nurhaliza, idaklah I keje kat tempat I sekarang ni kan ... kan ... kan.
Sure I dah happening gitu, taklah orang malu nak bawak I gi majlis ...

Among my friends yang selalu gi karaoke - Jam, Shila, Pah, Kak Anie, Liza and Ina. Nak kata they can sing, taklah jugak tapi sedap sikitlah daripada I. Kak Anie very the oldies one, Jam mixed, Ina very the ok and Pah pulak selalu pilih lagu Ziana Zain, tapi pitching tak penahnye sampai.

Nak jadikkan citer, last Saturday, I ngan rombongan cik kiah (hubby and anak2) pegilah karaoke RedBox kat Midvalley, saja2 je nak menyumbangkan bakat suara kitorang yang dan memang sumbang ni. Selalunya kalau I lepaking ngan geng2, kitorang gi Ampang Park jer sebab bayar ikut jam, murahlah sikit sebab kalau kat RedBox ni, bayar ikut kapla ...RM50 plus2 together ngan makan2 sekali. Mula2 I ingat bila kita jadi member RedBox ni, dapatlah diskaun ... takdernye hampehhhh.

Masuk bilik, besarlah jugak, kira selesalah untuk kitorang empat branak, Soraya terus pilih lagu favourite dia - antaranya Matahariku, If I'm Boy, I'm Yours, Hot or Cold, Reflection, Umbrella, ... banyak lagi (sorry lupalah pulak). Wow ... kagum I dengar dia nyanyi, tapi rasanya bukan nyanyi tu lebih pada menjerit. Tapi oklah, at least, masuk jugaklah tempo kalau nak dibandingkan ngan I ni.

Si Ten-ten pulak sibuk nak makan ajer sebab karaoke ni siap ngan buffet sekali. Orang sibuk nak nyanyi, dia sibuk, "Mamee ... mamee... mamam...mamam". Sambil dok dengar hubby ngan Soraya nanyi, I ngan Ten-ten pulak sibuk dok makan. Habih makan apalagi, Si Ten-ten ni bukannya boleh diam seminit, siap ambik mikrofon "vow...vow...heyyo...heyyo", lepas tuh jadi backup dancer and singer kat kakak.

My hubby's choice of song pulak lebih pada Indonesian numbers and a few English songs. Well, I think he'd improved a lot. He sang quite well, really impressed me. "Ini mesti banyak praktis ni ... Well, practice makes perfect, the more you practice, the better you will become. "

I pulak pilih lagu lama2, slow sikit senang nak nyanyi and a few duet song with my hubby. I really like Anuar Zain's song and "Selamat Ulangtahun Sayang" by Imran Ajmain but that song was not available. At the end of the day, I ambik jer lagu Fauziah Latif.

Come to think , once a while pegi outing macam ni best jugakkan. Kita anak beranak jer, takda sapa kacau. We stayed there for a few hours and do really enjoyed ourselves.... "Yang, bila boleh pegi lagi yek"
