Teo Heng Family KTV Studio

Earlier in the week, I went, with a mate, to Teo Heng Family KTV Studio for a session of ‘karaoke-ing’. We booked a private room and sang our hearts out. This is the advantage of singing in a private room. There’s only you and your mate or mates. It doesn’t matter whether you sing or croak. You just let it out. The important thing is you are with friends who also like singing. It is good healthy fun for a couple of hours, and very therapeutic.

I read in a Facebook post that says: Research shows, humming just 5 seconds boosts nitric oxide levels by 1,400 percent. I sang for two hours. Imagine how much nitric oxide my body was boosted with. No wonder I felt great.

“Nitric oxide is a gaseous molecule the body naturally produces, acting as a key signaling molecule that relaxes blood vessels, improves blood flow, and helps regulate blood pressure. Nitric oxide is important for brain health, including memory and cognitive function.” So, if you ever feel that you need a boost of nitric oxide – sing! Or croak. But I digress.

Teo Heng started out as a karaoke equipment dealer and services company in Singapore in 1989. They set up their first KTV studio in the early 1990s. The inspiration behind the establishing of karaoke studios was, the owner, Jackson Teo’s passion for singing, and his belief that karaoke is a healthy avenue for social interaction.

Teo Heng family KTV studio offers rooms of various sizes accommodating between four people to a room to VIP rooms that can accommodate up to twenty people. Their prices are very affordable. Jackson Teo, who is a devout Buddhist, believes and is passionate about giving back to the community in maintaining cheap prices to provide an affordable form of entertainment to the Singapore masses. They now have 13 KTV studios around the island.

This was our room – a small one since there were only two of us. They allow up to four people in the room.

This is the karaoke system. You key in your song on the touchscreen monitor, and the song will play on the big TV screen on the wall without the vocal. You sing, with a mike, to the music and lyrics with the help of colour prompts. Of course, if you know the song very well, you won’t need to follow the lyrics or prompts.

Karaoke is a popular past-time with the young and old here. It is one activity many indulge in.

Some karaoke lounges don’t have private rooms. You put in a request for a song, and you wait for your turn to sing, either on stage, if the lounge has one, or you sing at your table. I have heard some really good singers – something I aspire to.

There are also people who make you cringe with their singing. But after a few drinks, no one cares. Everyone is out for a good time. It’s all good fun.
