This is the song ( 健康歌) which the kiddos have to sing and dance on their Sports Day. Those lyrics from Smellybutt....none of it tally with the actual song @_@ EXCEPT the word "sieh yeh yeh sieh yeh yeh" and "siao mi mi siao mi mi", that's all. But it's Ok....I still admire her singing and dancing very much will lots of laughter =)
Another song presented by lil soprano of mine. Popo used to sing to her this song before her afternoon nap, and my turn at night. Slowly and quietly, she memorized the lyric and then suddenly sang out loud in front of us! I really love this kind of surprise from her =)
Lately she sings a lot, mostly full song with full lyric. Accurate or not lain cerita ok. At least she knew the music and tune.
After many attempts to record down this lil song bird's UNPLUGGED performance, last weekend was the night!! Previously tarak mood to bikin filem with me.
I ajak her to sing along with me our national anthem "Negaraku". To my surprise, she could sing it. Few months ago, before she started to go to the pre school, she could only sing the first line which sounded like this "Nananaku...tanah tum...daalaku...jeng jeng jeng!". Muahahaha actually it was me who included the last words "jeng jeng jeng" after each line of the lyric :P Just to make it more fun while teaching her to sing this song. So on that bright blue moon night, she sang in front of my camera, our national anthem - Nananaku. Hehe, that's her pronunciation. She did missed out some part so I did the back up for her. But there were a few lines where she could pronounced the Bahasa Melayu words pretty accurate lah. Amazing!! In fact, she will sing the national anthem at the pre school every Monday, if I'm not mistaken lah. So now she gets to practice it more often and can sing with many other children.
Hmm...come to think of it, she inherited my hobby too - singing! I love to sing at the Karaoke center since I was in secondary school right up to the time before I got pregnant. But when I was in my 2nd trimester, I joined my friends once and that was my last call lah. Now I prefer to have an "unplugged performance" with my lil Smellybutt. I can cover 1Malaysia song - Chinese/Mandarin, English, Malay, Tamil. FYI, I can't read or write Chinese words but I can sing Chinese/Mandarin songs without the subtitle. How?? My brain works great on selective thing. If I love the song very much, I can literally memorize the whole song within a week time just by listening to the same song repeatedly, twice a day. After that I can go live, unplug! Hey, even my Chinese educated friends also "shue bei ngor" kalah sama saya. Muahaha.
Most of my friends can't beat my voice even though they sang with a microphone =) Ha...not that I have a very sweet and nice voice. I'm referring to my volume, it's like an amplifier even when I don't use a microphone. LOL! I don't know why lah, but it just happen very naturally with my in-born speaker. Badan kecik tapi suara kuat. That is what my friends describe me, always. And I heard the same statement from the nurse who bathed my 2 days old Smellybutt in the hospital!!! Because hor, Smellybutt cried and screamed out loud when the nurse cleaned her up with warm water. It was indeed a very sharp scream from her. That is what we call "like mother like daughter" (",)
Here's the video of her singing Barney's famous song entitled "I Love You". As you watch and listen to her, the 1st part of the song is almost in mute mode, purposely punya. When reached the 2nd part, she sang it with penuh semangat! Plus a ciuman maut from her to Barney too :P
Geezz...I am really happy and proud of my lil samseng girl lah. She could sing (besides cari gaduh at pre school!) the whole Barney's famous song "I love you" since last month. And coincidentally Aunty Dory bought her a Barney soft toy just at the right time. Will upload her solo unplugged performance video separately.
That toy has got the same song too. Press on Barney's belly and we can listen to the song. Smellybutt loves Barney even more now =) This is also her first Barney soft toy, although she has been Barney's fan for almost a year.
Barney says I LOVE YOU!
Last weekend, she was playing with it and the moment she saw me holding my camera, this lil fella said "mama, take picture for me!" Ok, so she held it tightly, stood beside the playpen with her killer pose! Yes, killer pose without a smile, except Barney :P
After a few round coaxing her to smile....here you go....
Then, lil makcik wanted to change her backdrop, and had chosen the window area. Unfortunately, her height has just reached the curtain's level and the curtain was swiping her head non stop due to the fan.
Jeling the curtain till eyes became "dao kai ngan" look!!
Finally she got sooooo pissed off with the curtain and started to scold it "go away la!! zhao!!" LOL! While she nagged the curtain, her hand kept pushing it away. Makcik sudah geram oooo...and I enjoyed her show so much!
Next, she wanted to teach Barney to write. Since she already mastered half of the pen gripping skill from the pre school, she guided Barney to hold her pen.
She tried many times to kepit the pen between Barney's hand and body, but the pen kept falling off. Finally she behtahan and asked me this soalan cepu mas "mama, where's Barney's hand?". Muahaha. I knew what she meant. She wanted to ask me where's Barney's fingers actually. She got fed up after a few failure attempts to let Barney hold the pen. So I've explained to her that Barney has got 2 hands, but without fingers. So that is why Barney couldn't grip your pen lor. Luckily she didn't ask me why Barney doesn't have fingers?!
In the end, she just held Barney's hand together with the pen and happily conteng the paper . Mission accomplished!
