Solo Choir

Recently me wife keep asking me to join the church choir. She has been in the choir for several years, on and off, and then one day, after she heard me singing in the shower, she decided that the train ride to the church was so boring and wanted me to accompany her.

The thing is I am not really a singing person. Ok, I admit, I sometimes sing in the shower or sing along when I heard a good song on a radio. Like, when I heard James Blunt singing “You're Beautiful”, I sometimes think that he’s asking for a duet. So I sit up straight and sing together, "You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful. it's thrruueeeaaaaayyymmm", which is how I fake yawning because I just realized I heard the song on my handphone radio on a train and now everybody's looking strangely at me. So I just let James to finish the song alone.

I am sure that my singing is not as nice as Clay Aiken, or Michael Buble, or even Scooby Doo, although I’m sure I can be as loud, so I am reluctant to join the choir. My singing is just going to attract unwelcome reaction, like bleeding ear, or birds dropping dead. So I just stay clear out of choir right now. But who knows, if I keep practicing, after a month, I can be louder than the rest. Just don’t expect me to sing in the same key though.
