CHIC Meeting Minutes - Mar. 24, 2010

You must know this song “敢问路在何方” from Journey to the West. But do you know this song “dare to ask where is road” from Journey to Toastmaster? Here it is.

Dare to Ask Where is Road

              -Writeen by Jeff

              -Sang by Jeff’s farther-in-law

You do a speech, I take a role
Receive comments, say goodbye to weakness
overcome troubles, come on to the stage
Finish ten speeches, getting your badge; getting your badge,
come come come come
a series of changes of seasons
you taste bitterness and happiness
dare to ask where is road, the road under CHICer

(CAST: 白骨精Bena; 二师兄Jeff)

 

Try to sing it out with the melody that you were familiar with. And dance! If you can’t dance just follow Bena’s words, and then you will can.
