Chinese Song

Posted On: Wednesday, February 6th, 2008 at 4:02 pm

My son surprised me when one day he said “Salamat Pagi” (Good morning in Bahasa Melayu). He’s learning another language alright. And I haven’t even started teaching him my own language.

Also he loves to sing (he makes or composes his own songs sometimes) or music in general. I know that most (if not all kids) are musically inclined. But he’s different. He could tell what instrument is playing by just listening to it… i.e. piano, guitar, trumpet and drums.

Today, he was in a singing mood. I couldn’t understand what he was singing so I didn’t really bother… until my husband started recognizing the language. Hubby studied Mandarin also when he was in kindy. He told me to listen to our son coz he’s singing Chinese (numbers). I quickly grabbed my (new) camera and asked him whether I could take video of him singing. He said yes, so I shot a video straight away. (with his sister’s voice in the background). This was the second time I heard him sing Chinese. The first time was when he came home after their Cultural Festival party and he was singing Gong xi…. gong xi… gong xi… gong xi… something like that. I recognized the song coz you can hear that all over Malaysia now, for their Chinese New Year Festival.
