Greatest day

I was invited by my boy to attend his last but not least performance last night. Initially I couldn't make it as the boss had to attend a dinner. But last minute, he couldn't make it. So I decided to go for the performance.

Tickets sold at RM50 and RM20. My boy was in charged of ticketing.

There were two sessions of the performance.

I was surprised to witness my son conducting during the first part of the second session.
He amazed me by being a conductor for the first time in public.

He was also a trumpeter during the performance.
So proud of him..he could play three kinds of instruments!

In the midst of the performance, there was a song, 'You Raise Me Up' which has always been my favorite and I could be emotional when I hear it. Unexpectedly, all the participants came down from the stage and presented something to their parents as a token of thanks. My boy came to me with the Thank You card and hugged me!
I was overjoyed with tears.

Later I read his card..
Such considerate boy..

I am glad that I had played my part in giving him full support to his band participation.

On top of that, it was his birthday yesterday. His team-mates bought him a cake.

Of course, I bought him one too. Just before the clock struck twelve at midnight, 
we had sung him a birthday song and ate his cake!


Happy Birthday, my boy!
You are so talented!

I hope that now you can quietly pay more attention to your studies.
Your trial SPM is just around the corner.

All the best!

Twin bananas

Image
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..
