Singing heals your soul

After the whole four months of facing and dealing with numerous "customers" unworthy of any of your attention, trying to get the lessons across and ending up vomiting blood almost everyday; after the long, gruelling hours of marking numerous scripts unworthy of your time and experiencing first hand how your hard work of giving knowledge had all gone to waste; after the frustrating meeting in which you had to convince the having-nothing-better-to-ask bosses that those who failed indeed failed on their own free will - the soul is drained, deeply wounded and on the verge of permanent insanity.

So sing! Sing away the tiredness and the frustration. Sing away the anger and the dissatisfaction. Sing away the gloomy foreboding of the sufferings of the next four months. Of course, meanwhile, you have to make sure you're not the worst-sounding one among the singing-participants.

At the end of the day, some of your sweat-and-blood hard-earned money will go to the karaoke center owner. But at least your soul is healed - and all ready to be battered at again!
