Ka La La La La Laaaaa.... Ok. [Stop!]

I was in the presence of a superstar. At a chinese restaurant with my family and we happened to be "crashing" (or rather sitting at the sidelines) of the annual dinner of some random company.

Apart from the mandatory running screaming kids in these dinners, not to mention ah beng-ish clothing ala tight singlet, optical illusion shirts and tacky skirts, there is another feature that really cannot be omitted...

~drumroll please~

The Uncle Karaoke Singer!!
There were many hilarious things, the Numa Numa song playing just before the speaking (to announce beginning of karaoke session), the dodgy karaoke video - with han yi pin yin! (yes it was in mandarin, yes han yi pin yin is the pronunciation key for bananas like you and me)
So, once the first guy sang in his rather la ying, that's pin yin for effeminate, voice, the guy comes up and announces -
~cue CrazyFrog intro music~
a famous Malaysian pop star from the 80s - who once hit top 10 in the charts!

Haha.. karaoke music will always make me laugh. Especially when this uncle wasn't looking at the screen and the tvs all around the restaurant were showing him - Live!
Dad reckons he'd be lucky if he was in the top 10 .... thousand.
So, think twice before going to a company annual dinner, or wedding dinner, or anything held in a tacky Chinese restaurant!











sample of uncle's optical illusion shirt... well, similar lah.
