Dearest Ashley,
Mummy was smiling from the heart as I was blogging this morning. In the car, you were practising the National Day song you and your classmates will be presenting later in school. Mummy is very proud of you being the lead singer and the music conductor. I know how much you wanted me to watch your performance but I need to video Abby later at her school's sports day. Thank you for your understanding. Mummy is very happy that you have matured.
I was so overjoyed that you finally agreed to take part in the Family Chinese story telling/skit contest. Mummy stated 2 reasons why I encouraged you to take part:
1. Your teachers are very sincere and they keep encouraging you and calling Mummy to sign up for the contest. Your teacher praised you for your stage presence, verbal ability and sleek wushu moves. You can incorporate all these in the story.
2. You agreed to seize every stage performance opportunity to beef up your stage confidence and experience.
Horray! Mummy can finally act alongside with you and Abby.
2 things you said in the car made me laughed so hard this morning:
1. You told me this will be your 45th time on stage and what better way to celebrate our Nation's 45th Birthday than this. You commented that performing on stage is like eating rice. Am happy you enjoy your rice and your stage performance.
2. You wanted to play the elderly man role instead of the Army General in the skit. You know Mummy's job is to place the right talent in the right place. When I asked you whether you in the right role, you thought through and decided to play the Army General role. Am glad you know your right place on stage.
Each time I hear you sing our National Day song, it reminds me of my idol, Kit Chan. She is one of Singapore's earliest top foreign Singapore Pop export, way before Stephanie Sun and JJ. She sang several NDP songs and even led the theme NDP songs on the huge stage during NDP for several years. It is a great honour to sing in front of the whole Nation of 5 Million people. Today, you lead your class in front of the whole school to sing the National Day song. Hold on to your dreams as tomorrow you may lead the school and when you become an adult, you may lead the whole Singapore in our 55th NDP. Dreams do come true for people who work hard and never give up.
Mummy would like to leave you with the story of David Beckham....
David Beckham is a soccer genius. Was his spectacular success in the field purely the result of natural gifts? Absolutely not. He took what nature gave him and ran the formula: Focus plus daily improvement plus time equals genius. He just devote to being brillant at soccer. And he is.
Yours,
Mummy who shares your dream
