My friends and I threw a surprise birthday for Aisyah. We celebrated 2 days earlier as everybody was busy during the weekend (Aisyah's birthday was on Saturday). All of us met up in front of her house and she was surprised to see us! Well that's the main purpose right hehe...
You went to school to learn girl
Things you never, never knew before
Like "I" before "E" except after "C"
And why 2 plus 2 makes 4
Now, now, now
I'm gonna teach you
Teach you, teach you
All about love girl
All about love
Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me
A B C
It's easy as, 1 2 3
As simple as, do re mi
A B C, 1 2 3
Baby, you and me girl

Come on and love me just a little bit
I'm gonna teach you how to sing it out
Come on, come on, come on
Let me tell you what it's all about
Reading, writing, arithmatic
Are the branches of the learning tree
But without the roots of love everyday girl
Your education ain't complete

We watched The Sound of Music the other day and my kids loved the movie. Ohh..how much I love this movie too. Watching this movie had brought me down memory lane. I used to watch it with my sis when we were little. Sometimes we'll watch with our neighbour, Ucik, and we'll memorise and sing the songs together. The best part is now, I'm listening to my kids, humming and singing the songs that I used to sing. Here is one of their favourite songs - DO-RE-MI.
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti [spoken] Let's see if I can make it easier
Doe, a deer, a female deer Ray, a drop of golden sun Me, a name I call myself Far, a long, long way to run Sew, a needle pulling thread La, a note to follow Sew Tea, a drink with jam and bread That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
[Maria and Children:] [Repeat above verse twice]
[Maria:] Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do So-do!
[Maria: (spoken)] Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on are only the tools we use to build a song. Once you have these notes in your heads, you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up. Like this.
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re [spoken] Can you do that? [Children:] So Do La Fa Mi Do Re [Maria:] So Do La Ti Do Re Do [Children:] So Do La Ti Do Re Do [Maria:] [spoken] Now, put it all together.
[Maria and Children:] So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do [Maria:] [spoken] Good! [Brigitta:] [spoken] But it doesn't mean anything. [Maria:] [spoken] So we put in words. One word for every note. Like this.
When you know the notes to sing You can sing most anything [spoken] Together!
[Maria and Children:] When you know the notes to sing You can sing most anything
Doe, a deer, a female deer Ray, a drop of golden sun Me, a name I call myself Far, a long, long way to run Sew, a needle pulling thread La, a note to follow Sew Tea, a drink with jam and bread That will bring us back to Do
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re
[Children:] Do Mi Mi Mi So So Re Fa Fa La Ti Ti [Repeat above verse 4x as Maria sings]
[Maria:] When you know the notes to sing You can sing most anything
[Maria and Children:] Doe, a deer, a female deer Ray, a drop of golden sun Me, a name I call myself Far, a long, long way to run Sew, a needle pulling thread La, a note to follow Sew Tea, a drink with jam and bread That will bring us back to
[Maria:] [Children:]
Do . . . So Do Re . . . La Fa Mi . . . Mi Do Fa . . . Re So . . . So Do La . . . La Fa Ti . . . La So Fa Mi Re Ti Do - oh - oh Ti Do -- So Do
We celebrated Aqeel's birthday last week with my close friends. I had so many birthday celebrations for these past few weeks. We'll have another two coming soon.
We threw a surprise birthday bash for Jaz. Had a really great time...but my kids were not there... they didn't want to follow us as their Tok was around.
Went back to my parents' during school holidays. I snapped some pictures of my mom's garden.Nothing extra-ordinary just that she loves gardening. Unfortunately I didn't snap her picture. She went out with Mak Su, Johari and Shikin to watch Nur Kasih the movie.
