My boy the Saxophonist

Well, my boy had accomplished a big mission in his school life. He had taken part in the Talentime last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. His group emerged as the second runner-up and they received a cash prize of RM300.

When he was young, I wanted to enrol him in Music class but he refused. So he only played the recorder when he was in the Primary School. When he got into the Secondary School, he joined the Military Band. Then he picked up the flute. When he was in Form Three, his father bought him a Saxophone and he has been playing it ever since. His father didn't get to see him perform so I showed these two videos to him and he was so proud of his boy.

My boy performed two songs of Kenny G with his Soprano Saxophone.

      He didn't attend any music class and his dad knows nothing about playing the saxophone. I don't know either. He learned through his military band.

    Was he taught how to play the saxophone by his school teachers? Or did he enroll in external music classes?

      it's quite an unusual instrument that he choose to play Saxophone coz i see nowadays mainly people go for piano organ or guitar.

      Hmmm ... if you believe in recarnation, maybe can say that he have an old soul

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
