Frozen- let it go

I overheard her singing this song to herself. Came as a surprise to me since I was not the one who taught her and she didn't even watch the movie. Apparently it was a hit amongst her friends and they were the ones who taught her how to sing the chorus! I am utterly impressed. ..I knew the popularity of this song ...but not enough to know that it had infiltrated my household too. Until this weekend where the children were home since its the term break.

She was not aware that it was from the movie frozen of course and now that I connected the dots for her, she has been asking to learn the lyrics of the entire song! Am Adding it here so I can make future references.

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight

Not a footprint to be seen

A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the queen

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside

Couldn't keep it in

Heaven knows I tried

Don't let them in, don't let them see

Be the good girl you always had to be

Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know

Well now they know

Let it go, let it go

Can't hold it back anymore

Let it go, let it go

Turn my back and slam the door

And here I stand

And here I'll stay

Let it go, let it go

The cold never bothered me anyway

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small

And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all

Up here in the cold thin air I finally can breathe

I know I left a life behind but I'm too relieved to grieve

FROZEN - Let It Go Sing-along | Official Disney HD: http://youtu.be/L0MK7qz13bU

Let it go, Let it go

Can't hold it back anymore

Let it go, Let it go,

Turn my back and slam the door

And here I stand

And here I'll stay

Let it go, let it go

The cold never bothered me anyway

Standing - frozen in the life I've chosen

You won't find me, the past is so behind me

Buried in the snow

Let it go, let it go

Can't hold it back anymore

Let it go, let it go,

Turn my back and slam the door

And here I stand

And here I'll stay

Let it go, let it go

The cold never bothered me anyway...

(let the music go on)

let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go

Fever- little nathan

Little Nathan is down with our cough virus. Although with a fever of 39 degrees, he still insisted on completing his favourite transport puzzles at least 5 times before falling asleep. Poor little baby get well soon please mummy, daddy, jie jie, gong gong and popo are all cheering for you.

Princess' Birthday

Natalie planned her big day a month in advance. The requests became more specific as we come closer to the day and she would remind us of the dates and number of days left to her party.  She wanted party hats and blowers and little presents for her friends. Not forgetting a princess cakes and lots of balloons to decorate the classroom.

On the actual day, She donned on her cinderella dress together with its accessories. .. well she even brought a magic wand to school! The smart me had heard the kids sing Happy Birthday after the assembly on one of the occassion where i accompanied Nathan to school and decided to sneak in from behind the hall just so I can capture her moments!  And yes i managed to get the process videoed down on phone!  Only two children were celebrating that day and fortunate for her the other kid was a boy who came dressed in blue too.  So a prince and Princess stood before the entire school that day and she had the pleasure of thanking her school mates at the end! What an experience for a 5 year old!

The team at home was busy blowing up the balloons and getting them tied to the stick. we transported the balloons,  gifts and cake over to school. Huang 老师 guided her on cake distribution and little children lined up to collect the gifts from princess natalie who was beaming from left to right! It was a day with multiple memorable moments! We were all exhausted but happy to have participated in this special memory. And yes Nathan hours will be next!

What a good reminder!
