The burst balloon....!

Adam and I were giving a ride to my new found friend and her son. We were yakking in the car and my friend E asked Adam about his siblings.

Says he, my kor kor Alex is 14 years old and my che che Amanda is 17 years old.

E then exclaimed...Sue, I don't believe this. You look so young!

Hehe...me ( the balloon) modestly said...No la...I am already quite old.

Before anyone can say anything, smart aleck Adam chipped in....yes, my mummy is quite old actually. She looks young because she dyes her hair!

Riiggghhtttt....thanks my son...said the limp balloon.

Cheeekkyyy!

My 6 year old son is developing a sharp sense of humour. My mum is visiting, and all three of us were having lunch one day.

Adam asked Por Por....how old are you?

Por Por said...err, opposite of 17....( hehe...my mum loves to tease him, a bit wacky like me la)

Adam opened his eyes big, and said in amazement...

Wow Por Por....you are 71 years old....you are nearly a 100 years old then!

He....good thing he is cute or he wouldnt have got away with that statement. For those of you who know my mum, she acts like a teenager and walk much faster and longer than me, especially when in a shopping mall.

Her room looks like an accessories shop selling bangles, earrings, hair pins, handbag...and all in the brightest color possible....

Why Do I teach music?

Hi folks, I read this at a kindermusik blog. I am so glad I am a Kindermusik teacher!

Why Do We Teach Music?



Not because we expect you to major in music.
Not only because we expect you to play or sing all your life.
Not only so you can relax.
Not just so you can have fun.

But...
so you will be more human.
so you will recognize beauty.
so you will be sensitive.
so you will be closer to an infinite beyond this world.
so you will have something to cling to.
so you will have more compassion,
more gentleness, more good--in short, more life.

Of what value will it be to make a prosperous living unless you know how to live?

I am back!!!

Hello folks....sorry for the very long silence. I have been distracted, preoccupied, busy....and lazy...!!!

Just came back from attending a music workshop in Singapore. It was an inspiring time. It was a Dalcroze workshop - learning music through movement. The presented is a 74 years old (!!!) lady called Joan Pope. Honestly, I haven't seen such a sprightly 74 year old before...she danced, she leaped, she skipped, she sang, and played the piano...talked from 9am - 4 pm every day for three consecutive days. I found out later that the 3 day workshop I attended was just the tip of an iceberg. Joan went on to give another 6 day workshop after we left. Just thinking about it makes me breathless!

As I said, it was an amazing time. Hah...I did complained about my poor achy bones during the workshop but truly I came back, freshly inspired and challenged to practice what I have learned.

Today was the first lesson for two of my music classes....it's really great to see all the kids again, and I hope to continue to make music class a fun and learning experience for them.

And...I promise to write more often ya....
