Happy Birthday to Mom

 Yesterday was mom's birthday. Went to Red Box to celebrate because she enjoys karaoke sessions a lot and also she loves eating. Thank God she's not really obese because of the amount of food she consumes. The food there is just average. not many choices but plentiful oysters and other seafood as well such as raw tuna, baked crabs, shrimps and dory fishes. Pasta is quite bland, creamy but lacks salt. Most cakes served are not of quality ones except for the cheese tarts and orange chocolate cake which I find really nice because the sweetness doesn't turn people into diabetic patients.

And for a more normal looking one.

Sound quality there ain't that impressive. They have problems with lowering the key of most songs and I hate the fact they have so many MTV videos instead of proper karaoke videos. It's annoying. Hit songs which are not that new such as Lips of an Angel, I Hate Everything About You and Rain do not have karaoke videos. That sucks because they were released a year ago or even longer than that. Personally I think Karaoke places are too busy filling their lists of karaoke videos with pop, rnb or hip hop videos. I can't comprehend why they hardly take the initiative to offer more rock videos. This applies to their selection of J-Music as well. Karaoke videos for J-Pop are everywhere but not J-Rock. There's Luna Sea and the legendary X-Japan but no lyrics and if there were, there's no romanized lyrics. Like most Malaysians can read kanji or whatever.

It's funny to go karaoke with my parents because they tend to sing really new songs. For instance my dad sang songs by Creed, Hinder and Daughtry. On the other hand, my mom likes to sing songs by Sean Kingston. Oh wait, let me rephrase, she jumps into almost any song. Occasionally Taylor Swift.

Anyways, I think she had a great time. Was smiling all the way through. Happy to see that.
