Karaoke and then more Karaoke
I had a crazy full day of teaching on Saturday. It was also Jamie's first full day there. It went fairly well except for one particular problem child. We ended the day at the gym. I was suppose to wake up early to go hiking with Kendall Sunday morning but my schedule was already pretty full and when I woke up that morning, I had an over powering urge...to sleep in. Meh, what can you do? 8:00 am is a little early on a Sunday.
So I got up at my regular time, around noon, and messaged/called people to tell them the plan for the afternoon. Karaoke, 5 pm, Do Re Mi. The day was suppose to be for my Japanese friend Hiroko, and her co-workers. It ended up being something different but not totally off from the Japanese theme. The Karaoke spot of choice for the Japanese is Do Re Mi in Tsim Sha Tsui (+852 2366 1399). They have a comparatively large selection of Japanese songs. The roster originally was myself, Jamie, Iris, Hiroko, Kido sensi, Tsujimoto sensi, Natalie, Gloria, and Gloria's new co-worker Leo. I had invited my friend Pak To, and he ended up sending his group of girls over (Iris, Clare, Diana) so now my group of 9 turned into a group of 12. A To gave up on his work after he heard how much fun we were having and showed up with his girl friend turning my party into a group of 14. This is partying in Hong Kong for you. It was pretty fun, I believe everyone was able to enjoy themselves, and had a chance to socialize and meet new people. I hope the Japanese people didn't feel too isolated, since there were a lot of Cantonese songs sung that night. We did manage to get a few Japanese songs in bringing a couple of smiles to our Japanese guests. We sang until about 9:30 and had ramen noodles at San Pa Chi (さんぱち) in Tsim Sha Tsui. For some decent ramen in Hong Kong I highly recommend this place.
My partying wasn't finished there. I made a friend last week at Mooch and she invited me out to her friend's birthday Karaoke at Neway. I met Isabelle, Tammy, the birthday girl Momo, and Money (really, that's his name ... this is Hong Kong so anything goes). We sang until 1:30 and that was the end of my day of Karaoke.
A couple of birthday shoutouts. Happy belated birthday to Doris back in Canada, Phyliss my co-worker at Readership, and Pansy's friend Momo who was nice enough to invite me out to her karaoke event.
