Chinese Karaeoke


It was Sir Vince's 19th birthday on Wednesday, so to celebrate he had arranged a karaoke party to which we were all invited, however I can't help feeling this all got a little over-shadowed by the fact Rabia wore a dress!!

We all got the bus over to China town and to this restaurant thing then up about a million flights of stairs to a little room that looked like a private-back-room in a strip club only with two large LDC screens set in the walls. A friend of Vince's called Fong was sharing the party as it was her birthday too, she was already there, as were some of Vince's Chinese friends who we don't really know.

It would be fair to say by this point I was feeling out of my depth and rather culture-shocked, however still quite determined to have a dam good time and celebrate properly!

As the evening went on everyone relaxed a little more, and did some singing. Finally it appears I have found a use for my ability to remember the words to all Girls Aloud tracks despite having only heard them a few times! However I think everyone was a little mortified i knew them, and Luke may have considered having to leave me out of principle haha!

We had food brought to us while we were there and it was pretty nice, though when it came to cake Ricky decided to eat it off of the plate as he didn't have a fork. The urge to squish it in his face was immense as it was typical Chinese cake with lots of cream and very soft sponge hehehe!!

All in all it was pretty good fun, though I think it would have been better if it had just been people I knew because then we could have been more silly and we wouldn't have been too shy to do over-dramatic duets and bad dancing!

The Chinese pop songs that we couldn't understand, and that all sounded the same were also kind of hard to get past hehe!

We then walked down to Leicester Square and had HagenDaz which was highly yummy. Julie thought the waiter was cute, so we were all teasing her, even though we quickly decided that he was probably gay, given how much he minced!

We then waited outside as Vince had nipped back to the karaoke place to pay the bill, and got accosted by all the guys from all the clubs trying to convince us to go in, offering rubbish deals that were mostly just for us girls.

They came back, but by this time Julie was feeling really poorly, my tummy was starting to hurt and Rabia and Aarron had, had enough. So we left Luke, Saied, Vince and Karolina to go clubbing without us, and got a taxi home as it was cold!

I intended to go to sleep, but ended up chatting on msn and was still awake when Luke came home, so I got to cuddle up and go to sleep in his arms which was lovely, and somthing I really needed after the craziness of the past few days.

I had no voice left, the singing was bad, the ice-cream was good...top party...happy birthday Vince!!
