I personally find that when my wife criticizes me for something, she does in more of an amusing way, like my singing, everyone wants to hear my sing. my wife knows I play musical instruments and that I used to sing, but she also knows I lost my singing voice in the army (cadence, drinking, smoking, more cadence), she will simply smile, "oh, so beautiful. not you, me. you sing... eh... not good." yet everyone else in China applauds, I'm so glad she's honest. she is not aware of how we do KTV (karaoke) in the states yet. oh, but she'll find out. that is guaranteed. as for everyone else saying I sing good. when my folks were visiting for the wedding party, people wanted my dad to sing...  we successfully prevented an embarrassing event there... he's what you would call "tone deaf"

Better to plunge in and drowned, than sit on the pier wondering.

fivetrout, I don't remember exactly.  Probably not. I think she was singing a Chinese love ballad and I was singing Sinatra " I did it my way"

Willy. I don't thinks so. She is part of our circle of friends. I don't need Kung Fu lessons from her husband.

Definately a great picture!  That should be on the main page for when people sign up here.  Then again, might give them second thoughts about going to China.  hahaha

I've done severa KTV sessions with her, mama and mama's friends, our friend/my boss at the school, says i have a great voice. and this is why i don't use the wife's computer. damn shift key

I have t agree with Willy, looks like a visegrip moment. You sure it was Sinatra and not Michael Jackson?

Or maybe he had already done that judging by the facial. ;D ;D

Fiona givesit a thumbs up. Me too. Our friends are always up for KTV.

Who is next on the travel queue? Shaun is coming sometime soon I thought.

OK Willy, you re the planning committee.

I have just had a second look and wonder if that extra hand I see is likely to elicit a Kung Fu lesson :o

well, I'm up for more KTV, I think my wife is afraid I'll sing country songs, because her mama's friends always have me sing some country song. It's never Garth Brooks, always John Denver or Alabama. I usually afterward will do Bryan Adams, or any other balladeer, I know I can perform their songs. Last time we went out, I did a Richard Marx duet with one of our friends. She said I was terrible, as usual and with a smile, everyone else praised me.

I think she's just trying to poke fun in her way. She's been told by my sister, that I lost the voice I had before I went in the army, when I studied music, not financial statements. So she know I can read and understand music. I don't worry, she hasn't threatened to divorce me and my dad started to sing ( we covered his mouth) following the wedding. She now knows, my dad is tone deaf.

but hey, I'm always up for it, especially after a couple drinks....
