Tales of A Backseat Singer
Heh, 
after reading the comments by Marie and FJ on the previous post, I have decided to spill the beans :)
Basically, after a night of drinking (actually we didn't drink much) June decides she wants to karaoke. But it's 130 am and no one else wants to go so she makes me put on Rene Liu's CD in the car, song #2, which is "Hou Lai". Then she grabs Murphy the Moose (if I had a digital camera I could put up a photo of it but I don't, so use your imagination), which is a Bendable Buddies toy moose that Cheng gave me last year (Thanks Cheng!). Since Murphy is a Bendable Buddy, that basically means that all his limbs, his head and his antlers can be bent in any direction.
So my sis grabs Murphy and makes Kim sing along with her, using Murphy's nose as a mike. And Kim is half-asleep, plus he doesn't know the song, so he only joins in on the last word of every sentence.
June: HOU LAI (all in caps cos she's basically shouting in my ear)
Kim: lai lai lai...
June: Wo zhong suan xue hui le...
Kim: le le le...
June: Ru he qu ai, ke xi ni...
Kim: ni ni ni...
Get the idea? This goes on for the whole song. All 4 mins 02 seconds of it. And in between singing my sister is saying things like "Damn, Murphy is a great mike!! Two people can sing together!!"
By the time I drop them off and get home, Murphy's lying in a mangled heap on my front seat, looking like he's just been in a very messy hit-and-run. Poor thing...
Oh, and earlier on when we got to the bar at Raffles Link, I made my sister say this:
June: Hi, my name is June and I'm an alcoholic!
All of us: HI JUNE!
