Tra-la-la-la-la-la sessions!!

I meant it as karaoke sessions despite the Christmas-sounding title. And not really alot, just two days in a row. XD First round was waaaaaaaaaay after working hours with colleagues on a Friday evening. Second round was more of an impromptu plan with secondary classmates out of sheer boredom. XD

First round, it was in Wow! Karaoke, located at the 6th floor of Sg. Wang. Now, I am not very experienced in karaoke sessions since I am not usually very partcipative. But during this session, which was meant to be a colleague's farewell and held after work, I think everyone was pretty much tired, so I sort of get to hog the microphone every once in a while. I kinda irked by the disconnection between the microphone and the speakers, or suddenly the speakers would blast out drilling sounds, as if we put the microphone beside a construction site. Food too, another aspect which requires a lot of attention. The foodstuffs must be pretty tasty and delicious, since it seems to be wiped out clean quite quickly. Though, the price and package is really commendable since it is a buffet dinner and the singing session is for 5 hours long.

Second round, is MusicZone which is strategically in Sri Petaling, among a lot of food shops and eateries. Hm.. I am not really sure how other karaoke establishments work, but this has got to be one of the strictest and most organised. Which in my personal opinion, is a good move by the management. Cause for each misdemeanour, a RM 20 fine will be imposed. So, really do becareful about bringing foods and drinks in. Accidentally. Compared to Wow! Karaoke, the rooms are really small, of course, ignoring the fact that we booked a room for 4 while we actually had six people, it is actually pretty cosy since everyone get to sit together. But same microphone issue as above, only that this is more of the fact that it seems that the microphone doesn't work at times. Nevertheless, good times are good times and this is 3 hours long. XD

Well, two days in a row for karaoke sessions are really overkill but definitely fun. But for both days, I noticed a follow-up syndrome which occurs in the car. There is always someone who would be singing along the radio after that, and this syndrome technically lasts for a good 10-15 minutes. Or when the kick arrives.

In short, enjoy the karaoke session and keep on singing, keep, keep on singing, singing till your guts come out! XD

The art of speaking Indian

I am not insulting Indians with my title! It is actually a compliment since speaking Indian is a damn hard feat (in my opinion). Also, I was introduced to this term by Serious Comedy Studio, in its 10th production, Indian Laywers. So sue them, not me. XD

Story is, Indian Lawyers had their first show on 19th July and I was damn lucky I managed to catch their last show in KLPAC, which was Sunday 8.30pm (there were showtimes on same day at 12pm and 4pm too!). The better part was, my secondary classmates joined me this time! So, at least I get to exposed them to performing arts.

Wait, that's my story. Back to Indian Lawyers, it attempts to potray whether are Indian Lawyers saints or serpents. But for me, what I went through is more like a crash course on how to become a lawyer and how words are twisted in the courtroom. Another one was, a lawyer's question may sound potentially idiotic but it might be actually be a trap.

The main source of laughters, giggles and chuckles are actually the way acronyms are creatively changed in terms of what they stand for, ie (M)alaysia (I)ndian (C)riminals, the way the characters interacted and some wordplays. There was this part where the accused completely change his image for the court proceedings, from a gangster-ish,you-want-to-get-bashed-up-by-looking-at-me image to one holy clean-cut decent chap, as if a complete law-abiding nerdy citizen.

There are so many other things that I could say about the play but my last words are none other than :
GO WATCH THEIR NEXT STAGING IN PENANGPAC or SINGAPORE!

PS. Might learn to speak Indian one day. :P

Something and nothing.

I wonder what is this deep confusion or lack of strength that is currently residing in me. It neither did me good nor worse, but it definitely feels.. stagnant. Could it be a sleep-induced physiological threat that affected my psychological self? Or the pure fact that ignorance is no longer what I am capable of, instead a mask of apathy and indifference is in progress?

The auditing world lacks the thrill and fun that I yearn for, yet it possesses knowledge that I desperately needs. Of course, ultimately, it is how I make use of such knowledge to be a person with better means that brings out the worth of 'sufferings' I am going through. I do not know why but there is a growing distaste in things I m doing now. Or perhaps it is not my place yet to say such things as I had not been seeing the whole bigger picture yet.

To be honest, seniors had been great, workload had been bearable, but my lack of efficiency is proving to be a huge obstacle in my progress. Nevertheless, in the face of adversity, the ability to forge ahead is what makes a human human.

I may be burnout by turn of events as well, due to my lack of time management and greed. I always try to bite more than I could chew, to wear a hat bigger that what I can fit and even carry much more food than my plate can hold. But since it is not the first time it happened to me, guess I bought it upon myself.


I should just be a hermit.
