他們說去唱歌。去吧，去吧。大伙一起的時候，就是要做些老套又沒性格但充滿喜氣的活動。
我其實很脫節，只會舊歌和大台劇集的主題曲，於是在巴士上聽歌惡補。後來我發現大家都是如此，果然物以類聚。
Nikki 和 Ian 都是我中學時代的同班同學。他們在很多年前曾經跟我共過患難，然而中學畢業後，大家際遇迴異，從此各散東西。幾年前再次重聚，大家老朋友了，都知我的底蘊。
對於新相識，我不會交待身世，但又不想說謊打誑，更加懶得應酬，所以我的朋友不多。我不在乎，一天只有廿四小時，誰有空搭理那麼多閒人？
Nikki 跟我性情很相近。愛錢，崇洋，做事作風強硬，但善良而孝順。不過她很迷信星座術數之類怪力亂神的東西，常常跟我分析她跟她那些霧水情人的性格和命運，煩得我，我根本不信這些。
Nikki 本來天生一張圓臉孔和卷髮，兩者都讓她痛恨不已。長大後賺到了錢，終於成功改頭換面。我自己不敢在臉上動手腳，卻也不會批評有這個膽量的人。得嘗多年夙願，是多麼甜美的事，要不然長大是為了什麼？
我之前晨跑時弄傷了右邊膝蓋，只能以龜速行進。去到時，他們正在以狂風掃落葉之勢，企圖將面前堆成小山狀的食物擺平。
「你的腳怎麼了？」Ian 見我拿著手杖，問道。
「晨跑傷了膝蓋。」
「那你要怎麼工作？」他問。
「狗仔式和傳統姿勢都不行，我打算坐著叫他們自己坐上來。」我說。
「這個姿勢也行。」他們點點頭。
過了不久，對面房間有客人用了。他們把聲量調得很大，唱的不是粵曲，就是歌手幾乎都已經作古的經典金曲。俏俏往他們的窗口裡望，裡面的大媽和大叔，正在手舞足蹈個不亦樂乎。
「他媽的，唱那麼老套的歌還開那麼大聲。來！我們要比他們更老套更大聲！」K說著，選了甄妮的《風的季節》。
「 啊，這首歌我會。」Nikki 拿起了米高峰。
「有《變色的感情》嗎？那套劇挺好看。」Ian說，拿起了另一支米高峰，跟Nikki一起唱著《風的季節》。
「我想唱林憶蓮......」我翻找著目錄。
「我會唱很多林憶蓮的歌！」Edmund說，「我男朋友常常在家裡播嘛。」
「KTV真是個洩露年齡的活動。」我說。Edmund 十分同意。
是的，Edmund是男孩子，Ian 也是男孩子。不知怎的，我學校出的男孩子，好像十裡有九都變了基佬似的。
Ian身型高大，不過舉手投足則屬於娘娘腔類型。我十三歲認識他時，他已經是這副德性。他不作掩飾，坦蕩得很。任誰看一眼，就知道不是會喜歡女人的類型。在學校時，就他一個人那樣出格，一副「我現在礙著你了嗎」的架勢。其餘人等，一直當乖寶寶。
想不到Nikki卻告訴我說，跟她還有聯絡的好幾個舊同學，其實都是同性戀。大家真會裝呀。
Ian 和 Nikki 繼續引吭高歌。其實我很喜歡看五音不全的人唱歌。他們唱歌不是要表演給人家看，反而是勇敢地不顧別人目光，逕自享受快樂時光，我覺得那模樣很坦率可愛。
「George Michael 不是在聖誕節那天死了嗎？不如唱 Last Christmas 紀念一下吧。」Ian 說。
「好啊！唱吧，唱吧！」大家起哄。
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognize me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me1
Tell me baby do you recognize me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me1
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year,
A man undercover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year,
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
Special, someone, someone
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
Who'll give me something in return
I'll give it to someone, hold my heart and watch it burn
I'll give it to someone, hold my heart and watch it burn
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
I thought you were here to stay
How can love be for a day?
I thought you were someone special, gave you my heart
I thought you were here to stay
How can love be for a day?
I thought you were someone special, gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
you gave it away
you gave it away
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone
