Karaoke with my family
I love singing. My dad loves singing. My mum loves listening (but doesn’t mind singing).
It took us 20 years to have our first karaoke session together as a family with just the three of us on last Sunday. It felt strange at first but that feeling evaporated quickly. This karaoke outing is the part of my Dad’s-Birthday-Celebration Package™, as well as my Family Bonding Project™ since we spend a lot less time with each other nowadays due to our jobs and work.
I was pleasantly surprised by K Box’s amazingly huge database of songs, which include songs old enough to be my uncle or even granduncle if they are humans. I’m also very pleased with my knowledge of those oldies from my dad’s time. Heh. =P
Some songs are so old they seemed to lag the system heavily and produced jittery images and sound when they were being played. I half expected the machine to burst into flames but of course it didn’t.
You know sometimes in life there are certain moments that you will never forget for the rest of your life? These brief moments probably last for a few seconds but they form strong building blocks of precious memories that define your life.
The Moment of yesterday? It’s definitely the time when the three of us sang 东方之珠 (Dong Fang Zhi Zhu, which means Pearl of the East.) together. It’s one of my favourite songs when I was very small.

Wow. First time I’ve seen a family heading to K-Box. That’s so nice!
My family doesn’t go to such places at all. It’s heart warming to see your happy family gathering. I think singing K as a family would never happen to me.
