Karaoke-ing

Some of my friends go karaoke-ing on Friday evening. One of them is a member of a country club which has karaoke facilities. I joined them once. Although I enjoy karaoke singing but their schedule does not suit me well. First, I can't sleep well after the session as it ends at around 12am and by the time I arrived home it would be about 1 am. I prefer to sleep early and so I suggested having the karaoke on weekdays during the afternoon. However, my suggestion was shot down. The reason was that some of the kakis are working and so could only have the sessions on Friday nights. Weekends are out because they want to spend time with their families.
I may form a group that may want to karaoke with me on weekdays afternoon. Besides, the country club's session is quite expensive. We each has to pay about $50 for the rental, food and drinks.
The one I am thinking of is inexpensive. A group of say 4 to 6 people could rent a place ranging from $18 to $20 for a 3 hour afternoon session. There is no alcoholic drinks on sale but a soft drink cost only $1.
After the singing we could adjourned for our dinner nearby. The total expenses won't be more than $20 each person.
I will now seek the views of my other friends who may be interested.

Karaokeing with my classmates

This was the karaoke session we had recently. Yes, all the old folks. They were my classmates. We also have our regular monthly lunch get-together since about 10 years ago.
I love the karaoke session but it usually finished off late or rather in the wee hours of the morning. After that I will be having sleeping problem. I seldom sleep late. Bedtime is usually around 11pm. These days, I do not join them for the karaoke sessions.
At least twice a year, we will charter a mini bus and spend the day in JB. We like having the seafood at Kong Kong, Masai  and the dinner in Peking Restaurant. During the durian season, we would tar-pow some durian back to Singapore for our friends and families.

On the subject of karaoke, I found it to be more expensive if one does it in the SIA Sports Club even if one is a member of the club.
A karaoke room at SIA SC is let out for $20 an hour (min 2 hrs) and a drink cost $7.
I made a search on the internet and found that karaoke-ing do not have to be that expensive. Example: For a small room (max 4 people) at Teo Heng KTV the rental is $8 and a drink is $1 (soft drink only).  However from Monday to Thursday between 12pm and  7pm (happy hour) a 3 hour package cost only $18.  See below:
