Guild outing part X

okay here is my version of recounting the guild outing on 26th december. this was probably of the few times in the recent months that i had actually intended to go out early and reach there slightly earlier. even though the reporting time for me was 1.30pm at orchard, i actually targeted to reach there by 1pm.

luckily i didnt go with the all-black look cause it was freaking hot when i stepped out of my home!! the circle line route is definitely a more convenient route to the destination [@orchard]
apparently jefferson and i ended up being on the same circle line. since i reached early, might as well go and find a bubble tea outlet. a surprise that there was no gong cha or koi outlet. strange sia.

Seems that even though Jefferson carefully staggered the reporting time for everybody to normalize their actual time of arrival, it didn't actually quite work out as the one who are normally late are surprisingly early this time round and those normally early are surprisingly late :P
The most accomplished example is of course Nat, who was told to report earlier than the rest, but reporting even earlier than the early reporting time, which resulted in her window shopping at Nex for quite some time accompanied by Eugene?
To make things worse, Jefferson was playing hide and seek with her by telling her that he was outside NTUC at 3rd floor but secretly running down to 2nd floor which had totally nothing to do with me. After kena caught by Nat, she went on rage and was attacking Jefferson from all directions while I was just laughing almost all the way.

Apparently the destination allowed people to bring in outside food and drinks. I bought ShareTea which I did not share, Zack bought Starbucks and Jefferson bought bread from the place warren didn't like as it exuded a strong smell.
Even after buying food and drinks, there were still some time before 2 mysterious guests arrive. After going on the wrong direction, ZY reached the meeting place and on the correct way out we picked him up.

Having no idea where to go, one shouldn't be walking in front. Becos if I did that, I would be slowing down my pace on a bus stop as I would have thought we were going take a bus to the place. Turns out we just had to walk a little bit more before reaching the place. First thoughts on the place was : wah why so ulu one. We didn't even take the front door but took the back door from some bao stall oO.
Well the room seems cosy enough with the seats fully occupied after Yi Liang reached Nex (@orchard) and joined us.

Much like the last time, most of the songs by Yi Liang were rather sad love stories. Nat / Jefferson were playing their clubbing songs. And myself didnt really choose any specific songs but would have gone with pop rock songs. in any other case, somehow we didnt really repeat any songs from the previous karaoke session (excluding chinese songs) and lets just say some songs were quite nice~

in no particular order since i cant really the order:

情非得已 (rock version)
lol.. how come the one version i embedded seems even more rock than the rock version on that day.. Nat believes this is a sad love song? and singing it in rock is weird?
but isnt singing a sad love song accompanied by a rock band jamming even more weird? =P


Taylor Swift - We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

awesome sad love song that has a pop tune lols
everyone just love this song
caused we said we needed space, what?


Neon Hitch ft. Tyga - Gold
a rather interesting song that Jefferson knows how to sing. didnt know he like this kind of song. what do you mean he doesnt like this song, he practically knows how to sing the entire song! (with min help)


林俊傑 - 一千年以後

originally sung by 张惠妹, this is quite an old song (not warren tat kind of old lol).


OneRepublic - Feel Again
a bonus single from their upcoming album Native! very niceeeee~
if you like this song, you might also enjoy this cover - http://youtu.be/Qvmi9yL5Fdw
one of the easiest song i know how to sing! (ok la not as if i know to sing alot of songs but still!..)


Nicki Minaj - Starships
ok shouldnt have choose this song cos of the presence of small kids (like me)
such a erm weird song but with a nice tune. maybe tats why Jefferson enjoy the clubbing music and sang along


All Time Low - Backseat Serenade, Time Bomb..
absolutely love this song. and so does Jefferson =P cos he apparently keeps singing this nowadays wonder why. at least he outgrown from singing Justin Bieber - Boyfriend..

somehow i think this is Jefferson's favourite song from All Time Low. though i prefer their other songs which are more rock.
if you like All Time Low typical Hopeless Records songs then be sure to check out Outlines! http://youtu.be/7y2DkwtIc1M
what the heck just ask me and i'll link to you one whole list of pop-rock All Time Low songs =P


okay enough of the singing, luckily this time there's no tasteless fried rice dinner after the singing. cos it's time to watch Wreck It Ralph! okay.. seems like a rather cartoony movie to watch with a plot twist i would say lol =O
anyway i enjoyed the movie, some would say it's not as nice as Life of Pi and i would whack the some who say tat. Life of Pi was boring like hell lol.
to get into the spirit of the movie, i downloaded the game off itunes lol. seems rather nice ^^
to get into the spirit of singing, Jefferson conveniently sang to the song at the end of the movie. When Can I See You Again!! [by the way, did i mention Jefferson is a Lady Killer/flirt?]
