While watching my kids performed during the rehearsal as well as the actual event and service during my church's 50th anniversary celebrations over the long weekend, I must said we have a thing or more to learn from them. Without any stage fright, they just come onto the stage and did what the church teachers had taught them to a beautiful singing and dancing performances. Unlike us adults, we tend to at least if not more, some stage fright before a social event. Definitely, they never think so much and just go out and do what they have learned, even though they may make a mistake or two.
It was a busy weekend as after the rehearsal and the actual event, we drove off to the malls and reached home late. Though it was fun attending events as well as going around, we finally had a rest day on Sunday and we only went out for an afternoon coffee break. I truly enjoyed my church's service and celebration very much but it's also nice to wind down on a lazy afternoon.
Have a good week!

Their inhibitions always stem from the adults!!! Typically Asian adults, parents and teachers included, are not as enthusiastic and encouraging as those western ones overseas - all too worried about "face" and losing it....or they're too busy making money, no time for this "nonsense", don't waste their time.
ReplyDeleteSTP - Yeah, they begin to 'unlearn' when they grow up , beginning with the peer pressure and then later, work pressure.
Deletegreat that you found out the kids were very enthusiastic to perform on stage.. that is indeed a good thing, it shows how much they enjoy rather than taking it as an obligation.. :)
ReplyDeleteSK - Yeah, Iam delighted that they enjoyed it compare to some kids who sticked to their parents and social shy.
DeleteI thought you would say something like learning how to sing and play the instruments from watching the kids.. but you are deep!!! you learned something else even more important by observing the behaviors of the kids.. cool man!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSK - hahahaha... It just come into my mind.
Deleteoh so you were busy with the 50th anniversary celebration of your church over the weekend, guess it's also a good family bonding time?? haha, now you and your wife had to help your kids to finish up their meals, no wonder there was no order from you.. :p
ReplyDeleteSK - yeah, its very much a family bonding time besides enjoying our church events. Nice ! Anyway, church always encourage strong families' bondings!
DeleteNext will be the long weekend on National Day...
ReplyDeleteSharon - Looking forward to it!!!
DeleteThere is a lot to learn from our children. They are simple thinking and less worry. Just yesterday our pastor was talking about leading simple life and be content with what we have. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour girl is growing up to be a very beautiful girl. Lovely afternoon snack with your family.
Rose - Yeah, simple life less problems and contend. :)
DeleteWhen I was a kid, I was not relaxed at all hah..hah... Your girl is very pretty.
ReplyDeletePhong - hahha..you must be a restless kid.
DeleteThanks for the compliments.
Nowadays, sometimes even kids are not allowed to be themselves. Got so much pressure.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know yours are doing well. :)
Lina - yeah, some teachers and parents controlled very tight and not much freedom for them to express themselves.
DeleteI would say that some kids are just born with natural flair in public performance and speaking.
ReplyDeleteI often wondered why I was brave since I was a kid till today (?) I find it just a natural courage
that needed no coaxing at all. I first took the mike at 8 years old and spoke on the school's stage telling them a poetry! After that I told stories at 10 years old and conducted drama plays at 12 years old. It was even a horror play using my mum's bedsheets camouflaged as ghosts! In the end I went into TV after being spotted by talent scouts. Nothing to brag but just sharing that I thought it has something to do with in-born.
Your daughter's pretty eyes always captured my attention! You need to beware of the guys next time! Ha ha!
DeleteTM - wow... you are one talented fella. yeah I do agree with you most kids are born this or that way but that can be trained.
Deleteaiyo... gotta hide my daughter from you when you come over .. hahaha
Yup, I be a 'tiger' daddy when she reached her teens.. muaahahahha
DeleteLove the mushroom soup
ReplyDeleteLibby - :)
DeleteYour girl is very pretty, got beautiful eyes
ReplyDeleteLibby - hahha...thanks
DeleteThe mushroom soup looks very tasty and flavourful, full of herbs and spices, not from those can ones I'm sure.. I like this kinda mushroom soup, yummzzz.. Your princess looks so sweet, very pretty, like mommy..
ReplyDeletePrincess - yeah I love the mushroom soup too!
DeleteMy princess looks like me la... hehehe

ReplyDeletekucing - yeah, maybe la... they are in one closed group.
DeleteI agree every day there is something new from the kids.
ReplyDeleteThe strawberry shortcake looks very yummy. I am not a huge fan of strawberry but don't mind eating as dessert.

DeleteYour princess is beautiful she must enjoyed all the delicious dessert.
