Ohh…. Menggigil emak ni semalam. I came home to Umar’s announcement that he is entering a singing competition in school. Eyes wide, I asked him why he wants to do a thing like that. He said because cikgu suruh. When I asked him why his teacher made a request such as that he said because teacher asked the whole class to enter… Ingatkan cikgu dia specifically asked him to enter…
Anyway, I asked him if there are any songs in his mind and he excitedly told me he has a funny song that he wishes to sing for the competition.
“ Lets hear it, “ I say and istighfar was all I could muster when I heard it. It was a fun ditty but it was of his own composing… Waahh !! It goes something like this ( the gist of it lah )
The weather is hot here
I want it to be cold
But Shah Alam has no snow
So I have to go to London or Paris
Oh Malaysia why are you so hot ?
Please give me some snow
I want to play outside
But I am always sweating
Oh Malaysia, oh Malaysia
Okay, the lyrics are not half bad, although it is a major inducer of discreet ( at that moment ) laughter but the melody was inconsistent. Sekejap macam ada his own melody, sekejap macam ada London Bridge, sat lagi another nursery rhyme.
Umar : Is it good Mum ?
Mum : Err… yes… You don’t want to sing other songs that people already know ?
Umar : I think my song is better mom… it is fun…
Mum : Sure, but I don’t think you have the melody right..
So he sang the song again…
Mum : Umar, your melody is different now and your lyrics has changed too. Maybe we should sit down and I can write down your words again so that you could remember..
Umar : Good idea. I think you should sit on the piano too….
Aaahhh… banyak kerja pulak……
That happened on our way to McDonald’s. I hate going there. Selain dari my perut is very Melayu, they serve Coca-Cola… Hmm… enough said. So yesterday, I was coerced going there by my son’s “ You are the best mother in the world Mum. Can we go to McDonald’s ? Ada toy Ninja Turtles that I really like. “
Hmmm….. Awal – awal dah cakap the best mother in the world macam mana nak refuse ?
