On the Winning Call with a Sucky Voice

So one day I was driving right, and I was listening to the Fly.fm on the radio right, and they were talking about the Flyclubaccess thing right, and that this weekend in Mist Club Bangsar they're going to do some Christmas theme right, so there's this chance of winning 4 invited passes to the party lor. So, I ma play play texted in the thing and sent in lor. Then hor... Ow Emm Gee lor. The lady called me wor. Wahhhh!! So surprise wei... Really lor. But right, the lady was asking me question right, and I ma tried to talk properly lor. I was driving ma that time. And she so smart she knew I was, so she said she would make it short lor. I knew it was a pre-record lor, because that time the radio was still playing some songs lor. So I anticipated that she will broadcast it after the song, so I quickly stopped by at the roadside and listen carefully lor. I wanted to record my voice mar, I was on national radio wor. Don't play play leh.

But seriously, my voice was, horrible. LOL. I used to think there's this group of people who stayed overseas for a year, or the ones who was brought up speaking English all their lives, or locals who pretend as if they're the Westerners from the Upper East Side; the kind who speaks with this funny accent. Like, well, I'd just say, weird, some even to the extend I'd say, show off. They pronounce certain word with so much effort they sort of distort how it was suppose to sound like.

Lo and behold, when I heard my recordings on the radio, I was exactly like that. I was sort of annoyed with my own pronunciation of "cool", when I actually pronounced it as "coo-wool", like, what the heck?! Maybe I tried too hard. But when I listen to myself over and over again on my phone recorder, the more disgusted I was. LMAO. And on top of that, I thought my pitch was on the higher end, tenor much? Pretty frilly, as if it was the voice of a boy who hasn't reached puberty. No hoarseness that a man should have, you know what I mean?

I did tried to record my own speaking before, and back then I already knew I sounded so "show-off" kind, and I pledged to change. But I guess I didn't manage to. Blame it on my story-telling training with a Kiwi-bred teacher when I was younger? LOL.

But that aside, I'm going to a Christmas Party tonight! Wooot wooots! Starts at 11pm and expected to end only at 3am. I'm wondering how am I going to run tomorrow. Blergh. What the heck, party first, worry later right? Now now, who else are coming? :D

And if you're wondering, NOPE, I'm not going to post the voice clip of mine on a national radio. It's so... EEEEWWWW... LOL



ps: By the way, erm, who's that lady hosting the 6pm slot? HAHAHAHA! I usually just listen to the crapping and the songs, and I seldom actually paid attention to who's the dj! Ooops, sorry ma'am.

ps2: Who is Prema Yin?! Tried to youtube her, and turned out some rock singer. Wondering if I'd actually enjoy her rocking to Christmas songs...
