It is 1am. You have lost your voice, damaged your ears, and possibly sprained your neck.
Yet, you feel victorious and energised, ready to belt out Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now for the sixth time in a single night with your cluster of mates.
A favourite pastime of any true-blue Singaporean, karaoke is a safe place where you’re free to sing off-key, while pretending to be serenading to a stadium-sized crowd.
It is the perfect group activity that is able to forge the deepest of bonds between the unlikeliest of friends.
Needless to say, an hour at the karaoke studio is not going to be enough, but before you splurge on a five-hour, sing-along rampage, take a gander at our rundown on the cheapest KTV spots in Singapore.
