AMRITA'S THANK YOU CONCERT

31 August 2012, Friday

We were invited to a friend's daughter, Amrita's Thank You Concert at The Office Tapas and Grill, KL.  Amrita had this concert to thank those who had contributed to her Ticket To Nashville Fund.  Read more on her trip to Nashville here:

As it was Malaysia's National Day (31st August), the event started off with all of us singing the National Anthem, "Negaraku".

Amrita and her dad (KV) told us a little about their Nashville trip with some slides.  Amrita also sang a few of her original songs.

Zhen gets to chat with her young idol and were all smiles.  She loves listening to Amrita's CD.

The event then ended with another Malaysia patriotic song, "Tanggal 31".

SO LONG, FAREWELL... "The sun has gone to bed..."

The sun has gone to bed and so must I.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

SO LONG, FAREWELL... "I'm glad to go..."

11th October 2010, Monday Night
I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie.
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly.

SO LONG, FAREWELL... "cuckoo... cuckoo..."

11th October 2010, Monday Night

There's a sad sort of clanging, 
From the clock in the hall, And the bells in the steeple too,
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird, Is popping out to say "cuckoo"
Regretfully they tell us, But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye ..... to you.

IF YOU ARE HAPPY . . .

Early September 2009 

While driving my elder girl home one evening... 
Zhen was listening to the song… “If you are happy….” and commented…
“Why is it that if they are happy, they want to pull their ears?  Pulling the ears is very painful !”
