A Hippo with A Voice

I bought these karaoke CDs during my shopping trip on Labour Day holiday few days ago. I like Rossa (bottom right) but I don't actually like Siti (the other 2) though some of her songs were good. But I have no choice coz people like her songs. What happen was, on 25th April 2008 was our PETRONITA 9th Annual General Meeting. I was suppose to sing 3 songs; More Than Words (solo) and Flying Without Wings and Seasons In The Sun (group). At the very last minute, we were told to add a few Malay song, particularly a Joget song into our performance. Jai provided us with a Siti's Karaoke CD and we tried a few songs. Though we sounded ok, I hated the fact that we're performing this song unprepared and the fact that I don't really know the songs really kills me, plus I was not feeling well and have been having flu and coughing for almost a month.

We still sang the song but I was not very happy with it. I've been singing for quite a few of my company functions, usually to songs that I know by heart. I prefer English songs. I guess I need to add more songs to that and learn more Malay songs. So when I went out shopping, I bought these CDs so that I can practise them, and maybe, actually like them. Some of the songs were ok but the notes are quite high so I need to practise that too. Somebody told me that I will be singing for UTP's Convo this August. So far nobody approach me on that so I think it is just a rumour as usually students did all the singing. I don't want to sing for Convo, I prefer to be in the working committee, which I normally did for the past 3 years. I hope they won't ask me. Azie told me he'd like to try out for Convo's MC and asked me to come along. I don't like to be an MC. I prefer singing but I don't want to let him down. So I guess I'll give it a go. Azie is a very extremely great MC. He's got the complete package for it; the looks, the voice, the charisma and even the suit. Me.. I'm just a fat hippo with a voice.

Here are some of the functions that I have graced with my voice with hehe. These were taken with my camera. There's more but its with the company's photographer. Wonder when I'll get those? Hmm... I wish I could loose some weight. I really looked like a hippo with a microphone, right?
