Am so freaking tired right now. My legs feel like as if they're going to drop off and my shoulders feel like as if two sumo wrestlers are sitting on me.
Yesterday, I walked for a grand total of at least 13 hours, with probably like a half-an-hour lunch break. I still have no idea how I survived. Today, I
didnt walk as much(8 hours) but the weather was freaking hot and humid. Besides buying myself a hat to shield myself from the murderous sun rays, I also had
to buy a towel to wipe off the sweat that was forming around my neck and my face and my arms and...aiyah, everywhere lar! I dont think that I even sweat that
much during physical education lessons last time lo. The worse thing is that...I feel that I'm getting darker day by day. Oh no! I want fair skin damnit!
Apart from the weather, shopping in Japan is damn good but damn sinful at the same time. Everything's so freaking cute and I have this tendency to want to
buy everything that fits me. Why am I like that?! =(
And, I feel damn ugly in Japan. 99.9% of the girls here have PERFECT makeup, PERFECT hair, PERFECT style, PERFECT figure and PERFECT boyfriends. Eh, how unfair. I wonder how come their makeup never melts even under the hottest temperature, how come their hair stay bouncy all day and how come they never seem to sweat even if they wear at least 3 layers of clothes. I want to learn their tricks man.
On the first day here, which was on Friday, Fulin and I went to sing karaoke because we were seriously too tired to do any more walking. We wanted to go see Osaka Castle that day but we realised that it was raining after climbing at least 200 steps. Seriously, Japan's train stations have too many steps on the staircases and too many exits. No wonder the Japanese are so slim. Anyway, we decided to stop by this karaoke place called Oasis to relax.
Japan's karaoke seriously puts all karaoke outlets in Singapore to shame. Let me show you why. Firstly, you get to sing the latest Japanese songs almost straight away after they're released, unlike Singapore where you have to wait for either at least 2 months (Diamond Dust) or the songs dont get imported at all (Kbox, Partyworld). I sang Shuuchishin's songs~ Whee~ So happy.
Secondly, Japan's karaoke show clips where artists introduce their new songs or clips of the lastest CD releases.
Thirdly, Japan has this remote control which has damn lots of functions. It's small but it has lots of great stuff packed inside it. You can select your song, search for a particular song/artist, lookup the latest news, check the meanings of new Japanese words, see the period where the new Japanese words were created and so on. Singapore's karaoke only has a lousy remote control that allows you to select songs. Period.
Did I mention that you can sing not only Japanese songs but also Korean, English and even Chinese songs?! The best thing is that they even provide lyrics to almost every song and the lyrics can be viewed even when it's not your turn yet via the remote control so as to let you prepare for your song before your turn. Fucking cool. Lyrics for Korean/Chinese/English songs are also available. Wow! Below's an example of it. It's Jolin Tsai's song by the way.
Next, Japan's karaoke allow you to press the "clap" button so that you can add more fun to your singing experience. Eh, Partyworld and Diamond Dust also have ar?! Oh, in Japan, they have more than one "clap" button. They have ALOT. There are "clap" buttons that even have girls going "Kya~n, yamete~", "This is my first time...". Damn fucking erotic. Great for guys who cant exactly hear these words from an actual girl.
Japan's karaoke also disinfect their mikes and deodorise away and weird smells coming from the mikes.
They also go the extra mile for you. Not only do you get to sing karaoke, they also provide other services for you. They lend you handphone chargers, tambourines, reading spectacles, umbrellas and even help you call a taxi if you miss the last train. Not sure how true it is but...damn cool lar!
Oh, and the best thing is that...it's freaking cheap! For two people, two drinks and karaoke for 7 hours, it only cost us a measly 1000yen, which is roughly 13 Singapore dollars. Divide that amount by two and it's only SGD$6.50 per person. =D
I want to sing karaoke again man! Whee~ Okay, feeling damn sleepy now and I need to do my laundry(sweat-soaked clothes are so not pleasant) so I shall end here. Nighty!
