Steaming Hot Karaoke

I felt lethargic on sat morn but still managed to drag myself to work in a half-daze. By the time, I reached home in the evening, I was so tired that I just fell asleep on the couch! Fortunately, I was able to wake up on time for my dinner appointment. Me and my friends went for steamboat in Yuen Steamboat in Sunway, which was supposedly good. Anyways, my gym buddy told me that the shop opened at 6pm so being kiasu, we arranged to reach there just in time for the shop to open in case there’s a long queue so imagined our surprise when we reached at 6pm and found the shop to be packed!!! The boss told me that they opened at 5pm and not 6pm as I thought. What a bummer! We ended up waiting for 45 minutes sitting like dungus on the outside stools before we finally got our table….am definitely making a reservation the next time I go…

The steamboat was buffet-styled so some volunteered to go get the raw grub….though we ended up eating a lot of balls! Chicken balls, sotong balls, fish balls….you named it, we would have eaten it! Gosh, I’ve never eaten so many balls at one go…well, no thanks to our dear friend, CC lar…*snigger* Midway thru our dumping the raw stuff into the pot to cook, we heard chair scratching on floor sounds and people rushing to the buffet table…CC enlightened us by saying that it’s those kiasu people who were trying to grab the chicken wings!! Hmmm…just wondered whether their chicken wings are really that good? Anyways, sad to say, after 3 times of serving the chicken wings, we still didn’t managed to get any due to the more kiasu people sweeping everything clean…of cos we blamed it on our seating position, which was at the far end of the room…but even the students who sat behind us managed to get the wings for a 2nd helping so it was kinda an embarrassing defeat!

Stuffed on balls and ice-cream, we adjourned for a karaoke session as we finished rather early. Unfortunately, we couldn’t even get into Sunway Pyramid, which was heavily congested due to some closure of roads so we landed up at Galaxy KTV (previously knowned as SongBird KTV), situated down the highway. There were parking available plus it has the added security of being located next to a police station so I guess we are pretty safe!! *chuckle* As we had gone in during “happy hour”, our package included 2 drinks and a buffet dinner as well and compulsory tidbits!! Which I think was daylight robbery!! Since we were already there, we just went along with it and got shown to our room. The room was spacious and could easily sit 8 to 10 people. As there were only 5 of us, we could practically perform somersaults in the room! The remote was not user-friendly like the one in Redbox so it took us awhile before we got the hang of using it to select the songs! We selected song choices ranging from oldies to 80s music to latest hits! Even attempted some Chinese/mandarin songs but as all of us were “banana people”, we could only sing a few verse lar….which is not to say that it’s the correct pronounciations too…but since there were no one to judge us, heck care…hahahaha…Nowadays, I favour more rock songs as it’s much easier to sing than the slower songs, which tend to lull one to sleep….and so melancholy too….hmmm…we finished off by midnite as everyone had the Cinderella syndrome and were yawning continuously….and you know how contagious a yawn can be! YAWN!!!
