Hello folks,

Yup, i could never imagined that, but i really did take Shanghai by storm.  Don't understand yet? Ok, i explain.  It was another casual day, when i decided to nurture Nana and myself with a day of shopping.  After many hours of shopping, Nana was not done yet, so as she walked in to another store, i told her i wanted to go watch a live show that the shopping was hosting.  Now, here is where it becomes interesting.  As i stand in the middle of the crowd, the host of the show announces that she needs a few volunteers.  She promptly points at a couple standing right in front of me.  They were so shy and kept saying they didnt want to go.  What did i think?  I thought it was funny and started to laugh at them.  Suddenly, the announder says..."Tall guy behind, come on stage..." I pretended it wasn't me....as i strayed aside...her fingers pointing at me kept following to my direction.  All of a sudden, everybody on the crowd was staring at me...so i knew she was talking to me...I told her i didnt speak chinese, which i dont think she understood, but she asked me to come anyways. 

Anyways, turns out it was a singing competition i had walked into.  Two young guys, the couple and me.  Now, i had no idea it was a competition, nor did i know i HAD to sing love songs.  Therefore, i sung what came to my mind....and just the beginning of each....Qin fei de yi, two songs by Xiao ya xuan....and lastly but not least, Nsync This i promise you...yeah, i told them i had no more chinese songs...so she said..."Wai guo ren kei yi chang yin wen"....so i did....honestly, the two youngesters were rapping like crazy on stage....and the lady from the couple was also kicking ass....Maybe if i tried harder, i could sing better...but i felt good abt my singing anyways...At that time, i noticed Nana was also watching me...having already came out from the shop...

The host then asked the crowd to clap and scream to their favorite one...and playing against all Odds....yeah..that is damn right...Obstante took shanghai by storm....winning with the most standing ovation from the crowd and earning him a whooping 100rmb gift certificate that could be used in any shop at the mall.

I kind of feel bad for the two young guys, bc they were trying to win that 100rmb so badly...and they sang so much better than me hahah....but i guess i was the crowds favorite...Nana was happy i won as i bought her a nice hair ornament as result of my grand prize.

I guess all those KTV nights finally paying off....

Take care....
