An Afternoon Classic with Our Stars

The weather was a little gloomy when we reached Botanic Gardens. Was quite worried it may rain. If it rains all the kids would be very disappointed. I told Megan she should ask Jesus to hold the weather a while until the concert was over. Megan was looking forward to the afternoon very much. Daddy was very excited as well because I was with her when she learnt the 2 more recent songs while mummy was on confinement. When she was learning these few songs, I really did not know what to do during lessons. It was more Megan teaching Daddy what to do and if she understands or not. If she doesn't we got back to Mummy for help.

We were also grateful for the support of Auntie Jessie, Lor Koh Janice, Lor Teoh Norman and Yee Yee Sarah who came to show support to our darling star. All the kids were stars. They practiced hard and their parents gave them a lot of support. The both Grandparents were not able to make it that evening so it was nice to have people supporting little Megan.
Little Sister Gwyneth loves listening to Jie Jie Megan violin too

Reflecting back, it was a tough journey getting Megan to learn the violin. Mummy and I had some really heated arguments because we cannot agree on how much ‘patience’ we should have with her. We did not have the luxury of time to bring her to take extra violin lessons separate from the group class. And more so for us because the first class she attended was discontinued. (till today I still think the kids were too young to start at 2yrs plus, but since this is a public forum I shall not comment further) Had it not been the tenacity and perseverance of mummy I don't think daddy alone will be able to even complete a single song.

Anyhow, the kids played beautifully. Their bowing was right, they look like SSO musicians. Even if they made mistakes, like the teacher says, they are cute and the audience will be more forgiving.

Next Up: Megan is going to play in Church on Christmas. This is the real reason why we had enrolled her for Violin classes – to be able to serve God with her talents. We always look forward to Megan playing in church because the purity of a child's worship is always pleasing to God. She is going to play "You are the Reason" at the upcoming Christmas Service.
