Louder Please!!

This is the fourth month of our On the Job Training period. We are trying to keep the boredom at bay. Some bring books to read, some try to turn their brain to find things which could add value to their days, some even read the Standard Operating Procedures of the unit we’re attached at like it was a complicated chemical formula. No matter how hard we try, the saturation begins to envelope us again like it is crawling over our skin. But we don’t give up on this, so we try so hard every single day to find something amusing around the job activity –you see the word activity is not plural because our activity really is NOT plural–. Karaoke is definitely one out of quite little choices we have. I am a person who believes that people should let out what is inside their heart. When you are happen to be an introvert kind of person, then you should find a way to express yourself. Letting what you feel inside is a thing karaoke could help. Pick a song that express your most current feeling, choose the exact way to sing it, don’t bother to think about the right key, and then just do it. Feel the magic which come from a mixture between hideous voice and a fatal key error. What’s needed to be let out will come out just as it should be.

Now I have new girlfriends to karaoke with. Our song lists? Unbelievably bizarre!! Much more bizarre than my other karaoke group –yes I also realize that bizarre always be my word for people who accompany my karaoke time (or they turn bizarre because they’ve karaoke with me?)– The way we sing? Identically to the real singer –refers to the bizarre song lists, then you know the way we sing is as bizarre as it is– (O Gosh! Do you realize I have mentioned the word bizarre 6 times?). The way we dance? No questions about that, since there was no dance except a little move on the head, and shoulders, and legs –that’s dance already anyway– it was so much fun. You can see people through a different side, their hidden side. We choose our own language to sing. When we have songs that everybody knows, then we’ll sing it together. But we definitely have our own songs to sing by our own voice, style, and absolutely our own key. Hours passed without us even realizing it. We laugh, recall a memory from the songs we sing, make fun of the ancient video clip of the old songs we choose. It was fun, huge fun. Got home after it feeling relieve and enlighten, sure it’ll also do to everyone else.

So when someone says ‘sshhh’ to someone else when they sound a bit too loud, I would say to these girls “Louder Please”.
