5 June 2010! I did it! I manage to get another tick on my 'bucket list' (or what I prefer to call my 30 things list). I want to a Karaoke bar, and I sang! I, me, Jeanine - actually sang! In front of all the people in the place.
Now - I have to admit a couple of things....
1. It was a dodgy place (But which Karaoke bar isn't).
2. I knew NOBODY in the place but my friends that I was with.
3. I sang with my friend...
Now, getting the honest things out of the way....
I had a great friend from Cape Town visit me up here in Joburg. Driving through to friends in Pretoria the Saturday afternoon to visit other friends - about one block from our destination she 'whispers' that she has to 'tell' us something. I asked what it is, with caution... She says that we will be visiting a pub to go watch the Rugby.... And.... They have Karaoke. Comments from the back of the car was WHAT??? Comments from me: "Yipeeeeeeee!!!!" Not admitting openly that I've always wanted to Karaoke. The thoughts were running through my mind.... I have the opportunity to do this now. What will I be singing. I don't have that figured out yet. At least my friend is with me, so I'll have backup! I have the opportunity to get another thing marked from my list.
Getting there (Pub called "Pepper Chair"), the Karaoke starts at 21:00. We get their book to see what is available. Very excited we narrow it down to two songs.
We got called to stage and heard we will have to sing "I Love Rock & Roll". My friend and I each get a mic.... The music starts..... The words are on the screen..... And we start!
We did well! I did well! Much much better that I ever though I would! I loved it! I am so incredibly happy I did it! (And extremely glad my friend was with me).
I did it!
