KARAOKE PARTY & WEIRD DREAM
Wednesday, November 12, 2008
I've been addicted to this cool online karaoke game thingy my sister introduced to me (more accurately, the newspaper) [Li Ting says: You're welcome Yi Xin...(because I didn't say thank you for me telling her about it)] that accesses how in-tune you sing all FOR FREE. It's really fun! The more green thingies you have, the better. There's a score to keep track. They have lots and lots of songs! There is also a song by Louis Armstrong, not sure of title, but lyrics are "... and I sing to myself, what a wonderful world...". They also have Celine Dion's songs, Paramore etc. You can also request songs!All you need is just a microphone (those kinds that are PC compatible). Just plug it in. And for those who are shy about singing in public, it is the perfect chance to see how in-tune you are. The thing works like this: you sing into the microphone, and they will match your pitch with the original song.

So far, my highest score is 7299/10000, which is rather low, considering that other people can get about 9100++. (Yeah and my sister got 7300++ which beat my score. However, at that time I sang the song, the microphone was cranky. And when she sang it, it wasn't that bad. Plus, my other sister says I actually sound better than her. Booyah!) Hey, they either keep practising the same song or choose easy ones or CHEAT! The cheat I thought about was to just play the song (its a sing-along actually) really loud and stick your microphone to the speaker. I've tried it, so I know. But the bad part is that you won't hit some notes because of the background music. Plus, I sang an easy song and sounded weird as usual. Singing in tune is not equal to having a good voice! (Booyah Li Ting!)
Oh yes, some songs are not sung by the original singers, so it sounds a little weird. I've tried a song (forgot the title) which is mostly talking. I talked and I failed! You must like match the pitch of the voice, so its quite hard (especially if there's rapping and stuff. Umbrella by Rihanna is really hard. For me anyway.).
So try it anyway! Tell me what score you got (on my tagboard or something)!

Today, I had a really weird dream. I dreamt that I was escaping Singapore to Turkey, and I was walking. (Weirdness factor #1: Walking to Turkey is almost impossible! For a person who dislikes exercise!)
It was during winter, because there was snow on the ground. Not too faraway, I saw a couple sitting down and collecting something. On further inspection, I found that they were holding those type of small cups for sampling drinks and stuff and collecting something shiny dripping from the sky. I asked them what it was, and they said it was GOLD! (Weirdness factor #2: Is there such thing as liquid gold? If there is, does it even drop from the sky?) Then I was so shocked and questioned them more and more. Can't really remember the details.
After that, I vaguely remember them going towards some hotels. They chose the Hilton hotel. At them time, the Hilton was supposedly having bad business because of some rumour, and thus the cheap hotel room prices. (LOL. I "dream".) I don't remember them coming back. Somehow, I got this really big red bucket that you can easily find in the parsamalam and put it under the dripping sky area. I collected that amount of gold. Somehow (again), I managed to acquire lots of lock-and-lock boxes and stored the gold there. I didn't want them spilling all over and waste the gold! I continued collecting until there was no more. I knew because some gold
engine-look-alike-container dropped in my big red bucket. (Weirdness factor #3: Liquid gold dripping from the sky is weird enough for me already. And now an engine-look-alike-container? Maybe I'm going insane!)
I then somehow (again) got a large piece of black cloth and those trolley-looking-kind-of-thing and packed everything on it and covered it with the large piece of black cloth! I didn't want anyone peeking in and robbing me! So that was the end of my weird dream and I woke up.
