Sing Negaraku 10 times a day?!
Yes, at my age of 35, I can’t believe I am asked to sing the National Anthem 5 to 10 times everyday. And the person made it mandatory for me is my 4 years old son, Ian. Hahahaha!
Okay, Merdeka (Independence Day) is just around the corner. Thanks to his school, Ian has brought back patriotism in the family. He suddenly became very interested in Negaraku. He kept asking me how to sing it, so I have to keep singing to let him learn! It is so funny that he also insists that we stand straight (of course!). Worst of it, not singing it 10 years after leaving school, I actually forgot the lyrics! :p
Not only that, he also learnt the patriotic song Tanggal 31 Ogos, which I have never learnt how to sing in the past 35 years of my life! Because of him, I had to search the web for lyrics, download the mp3 and learn the song myself. I suddenly become patriotic in a way. Hahaha!
We are going to do marching around the school tomorrow. Just hope it can be completed before my telecon. We have Jalur Gemilang (Malaysian Flag) everywhere in the house and Ian keeps drawing more and more of it.
