November 15, 2008 KTV all the way!

Our secretaries and cook wanted to take us all to Ktv (kereoke) Oh boy was I excited for this. Right when we got to the place I thought to myself "Am I really in taiwan or in a four star hotel" I felt like a complete celebrity, we had this guy lead us to the elevator then to our room we walked in and the walls were all shimmery with another wall with cheetah wall paper on it. There was a long leather black couch that went around the room with a big glass table and a big flat screen t.v.! It was freakin awesome. We would have people come and go with food the entire FOUR hours we were there. It was quite good food, but quite random at the same time. 

Seriously after 5 minutes of being there Jane was already singing, and quite frankly I couldn't believe it was her singing. Dang that women had a good chinese singing voice. All of them did. Us roommates got a book with all English songs. We had a pretty good variety of songs to choose from but I was to entertained watching Emily, Jane, Penny, and most of all Wen. Wen is Penny's boyfriend. And boy oh boy are they not the cutest couple ever. We all loved watching them interact with each other. It was the cutest thing ever. I loved it. It was so fun watching them do duets together. They got so into it. 

Our Chinese friends probably sang for a solid hour in a half then after we had entered our songs into the computer we were up. We all picked awesome songs even though more then half of mine were a failure cause I could not stay on beat. Good thing there were words though, I mean I'm sure I could've done just fine with out words... for those who know me I'm pretty good at making up words to songs and making the song sound just as good! ha ha! I think after this experience my vocal skills went from a 0 to a 5. One of the last songs we all sang together that me and Britta were so giddy about was THRILLER by Michael Jackson. But guess what it was a failure too, it was like one of the only videos that didn't have that actual Michael Jackson Music video playing instead there was a girl who had long black hair who was gracefully doing all these weird moves on the beach trying to be all sexy and stuff. ha ha it was the funniest thing to watch. Sexy girl and Thriller... mmm... these two things just seem to clash. But thats just me... But I forgot to mention though, the flat screen tv had the words and music videos to each of the songs that we picked. It was a sweet set up. I think America preferably Utah needs to look into this Taiwanese Hobby. 

After we did a little of singing, dancing and eating we were off to a night of bowling! Bowling was so much fun minus the fact that there was smoking allowed and it made me sick and dizzy. I wasn't a fan of it. On to another note, the first game was intense of  bowling. Darren beat me by 1 little point awwww I was fuming, and Wen (who was a pro at bowling) beat us all. So we did a rematch and yes I did beat Darren on the 2nd game. It was great! I think everyone actually beat him... sorry Darren,  maybe next time... game on! :) After bowling Darren and I played a mad game of air hockey... and it just wasn't Darren's lucky day because I beat him! It was intense, I secretly like air hockey, its fun! 

Don't worry the night is not over yet. Over here in Taiwan you do a full on day affair with your friends. We went out to dinner at 50 cent pizza. Boy oh boy was it good, maybe because it was the closest thing to American food. I ordered an eight slice pizza and a bowl of gratin rice...( I have no idea what gratin means. ha!) It was delicious . After dinner we came back home and watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It was such a fun day full of activities and pure entertainment! 

The KTV crew! 

Wen was getting so into I loved watching him sing. 
My boyfriend (nan pengyou) I carry his picture around with me everywhere I go. And I got to see his music video. Britta's boyfriend and mine are in the same band. They are so smokin' hot right now.  
ha ha
sing sing sing .... pieces, pieces of me... Ashley Simpson, but the best song we sang was Maroon 5 "This Love"
Penny and Emily
The sweet set up.
The cutest couple ever! We all just loved watching them the whole time. 
Love us! 
Jane was such a great singer, I was amazed! 
ha ha ha, I just couldn't help but to laugh. 
Just singing away! 
Emily!!! 
Duet time. 
I was getting so sick of all the smoke in the bowling alley! peee youuu!!! 
Penny and me! Love her! 
The bowling alley and Penny and Emily laughing at something! 

I just want to smile. 
Oh how I adore these ladies. It was Jane's 2nd time in her entire life of bowling. 
Penny's outfit was great. A yellow jersey looking shirt with a bow that tied in the back, black velvet shorts, a white laced belt with a brown leather buckle, tights under her shorts and boots. The brown boots topped it off. 
Strike.. oh shoot there are still two pins up.... I mean spare... thats more like it! 
Wen's shirt was hilarious. It says- "A married man should forget his mistakes, there is no use for two people remembering the same thing"
So here I am in "Courtney world" I hear chuckling come from the corner it's Darren, Melissa, and Britta all laughing at me because I was taking pictures of my shoes, and apparently they were taking pictures of me. 
Darren told Britta and I to whip our head from side to side as fast as we can and to snap pictures of it while doing this. My results:
Britta's results: Yes it was really hard not to laugh, cause we couldn't stop laughing
Doing a little dance before bowling. 
Yay! We were just so thrilled to be bowling. 
Its a girl thing. 
Playing some air hockey against Darren
Yes, I am well aware that it says LOSER in the background, but don't worry that is pointing to Darren, I beat a boy! I'm such a competitive girl! 
This signs means "cool" in Taiwan its kinda funny and random. 
Jane our school cook, and no Jane we are not going to bite you, she almost fell of her seat.
Emily and the "cool" sign, Mrs. Jane! 
Us at 50 cent pizza, it was amazing, oh wait its because its American food!
