Music Man

Music is always my savior. Whenever I am down and out I'd find solace in music. Anytime I feel happy and bouncy I'd dance to music. Even when I am in love I'd embrace music. I have song for every moment and occasion in my life that I don't think I could ever live without my music.

That is why good people, it is a little mystery I know zilch about music - I can't play or read a note in music. Maybe it isn't a mystery at all if I say I was raised by parents with music-is-evil doctrine and not by Osmond's or Jackson's family.

But this post isn't about self-pity; if there's one thing I can take comfort to know is that I can sing.

Yes people, I can sing. Arguably, there's a really thin line between 'can' and well, 'good at', but I can hold and bend note, any note the shortest time like some kind of world record. I also give 'pitchy', 'in tune', 'tone' and 'falsetto' a whole new meaning, altogether.

Last Thursday night me and my other nine no-talent friends tried to 'temper the law of physics' by re-defining the science of sonic at a karaoke joint. We gathered at Green Box, Jusco Cheras Selatan as a toast to our Friends, Miron: who's gonna further his studies in Master in something next week. All members of the pack were there except Herman and Zack.

We had a fun fun fun time together by 'flapping our esophagus' out. I never felt this much fun in a long time though I must say it worried me a bit that the sound we produced that night might attract 'contact' from other dimension or even worse - a pack of wolves. But everything went super well.

However, since everyone tried to hog the microphone like a bunch of 'hyenas' I only managed to sing a paltry six songs. But it was a worthy six-songs moment;

Loving You – Minie Riperton

I Just Called (To Say I Love You) - Stevie Wonder
Greatest Love of All – Whitney Houston
Saving My Love For You – Whitney Houston
What's Going On – Marvin Gaye
Me and Mrs Jones – Billy Paul

It was such a joyous night for everyone especially me since I was able to share my divine voice with all my delusional I-can-sing-better-than-you friends. I thank you guys for your companion and patience throughout the three hours ordeal with me and I salute your sheer understanding and support. And having a pair of a very thick, bionic ears helps too!

You guys made me feel like a Superstar!
