皓月闪烁,星光闪耀,祝大家中秋佳节美满快乐!
The kids were in for a surprise when I told them that we were going for a walk in our neighbourhood late tonight. Asher had made a lantern in school and he was so excited to bring it out! Little did they know that I had also secretly brought along some sparklers so that they could continue this yearly tradition of ours. You can imagine their smiles when I said "Ta-dah" and presented them with the boxes of sparklers, yippee!
We made our way to a pavilion and were pleasantly surprised to see that there was nobody there. Well, we even brought along some chrysanthemum tea and red pomelo - the kids helped me to peel it at home - to enjoy too, nice right? It was my first time celebrating this night with four kids on my own and we loved seeing how the baby was amused and happy with everything going on. Hop to my IG to see his expression and also check out how the kids raced and even put on a dance performance, woohoo.
It might be 9 days to PSLE written exams but I am so glad we took tonight off to relax, enjoy and remind ourselves of what is important in life. I told the big girl that I would be proud of her no matter what and her happiness matters the most to me.
Ariel said "Thank you, Mama, for always celebrating these occasions with us." Awwww. It was such a simple gesture yet the memories made are so precious and our hearts are full tonight.
Hope everyone had a wonderful day with your loved ones too! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!
P.S. We looked up at the sky and said "Hello" to Popo whom we believe is now a star shining down on us. I used my sparkler to write the letters "I❤U" and hope she knows that, even the kids said "We miss you, Tai Po". And we always will. Family is truly everything.

It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger

Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
把彼此推到極限的邊界,學得太快
By 11 smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

Something about the glory, just always seemed to bore me

'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure

I got my boys with me atleast those in favor
交了幾個志同道合的兄弟

Most of my boys are with me

◎作者簡介

◎小編品嫺賞析
⠀
這首歌從僅有七歲的童年時期開始,帶著聽眾一起體驗了主唱 Lukas 的人生。歌詞淺白易懂,甚至有些琅琅上口,讓聽覺與靈魂得以貼合著音樂,感受這首歌當中譜出的故事。
⠀
並非富裕的童年,讓 Lukas 從小就被迫長大,毒品與烈酒就是他的兒時玩伴。但他沒有因此走上歪路,父親一直是他心中的領袖,為了成為跟父親一樣的人,他開始接觸音樂、寫歌。到了二十歲, Lukas 的心境也有了成長。
⠀
二十歲的自己充滿了力量與衝勁,擁有犯錯的餘地也不畏嘗試;三十歲便開始小有名氣。而〈7 years〉的發行年份(2015)正是Lukas快要邁入三十的時期,這段歌詞可以說是對自己野心的描寫,數年後回頭來看,更是成了自傳的一部分。隨著歌曲的推進,在三十歲之後,家庭成了新的和弦,也必然要面對關係的離別,這些都是生命要持續學習的重要課題。
⠀
接著歌詞跳到了六十歲的人生,嘹亮的歌聲彷彿是在對世界吶喊。少了年輕時的那份衝動,到了六十歲,對生活有了更多的體悟:理解了要把握當下的每一刻、理解了到了老年希望有孩子在身邊陪伴的渴望。主唱不斷對世界提出疑問,在懷疑、不安的同時,也勾勒出了自己想要的模樣。時間的消逝如此之快,但往往都是等到過去了才會意識到自己的不珍惜。
⠀
至此年齡就不再推進,因為影響至深的父親只活到六十一歲,接下來就沒有藍圖可以參考。在歌曲的最後,我們又回到了原點,一切激昂的情緒恢復平靜,緩慢地重新審視經歷過的一切──那年,還只有七歲的時候。
⠀
四分鐘的歌曲就道盡了六十年的一切,同時寫給自己,也寫給父親。
⠀

mama told me 在 Facebook 的最佳貼文
It’s 4AM and before I start my weekend with another flurry of work and events, I wanted to post this up over my business page - the page that is open to friends , family as well as strangers alike - to read about not just my business or work related self … but snippets of my private life which I usually keep in a close journal as therapy for me when I need to pen down my musings.
This early morning post is about this decade old drum set.
This electronic drums was something I sought permission to buy from Azmi. I took drum lessons before marrying him, but never had the space to own a set.
But when we moved in together at our home we decided to buy 11 years ago, I coaxed him to agree to it and whilst he hesitated at first - he gave in and took charge looking for one that I could beat the sh*t out of, without causing lawsuits from neighbours (hence the decision to go electronic)
I could use it while I spun music from my DJ decks and it was snug enough to fit into the room which was meant for storage - not knowing God would bless us with more children and a pandemic that would lead us to pivot into creating a livestream studio to sustain our business.
He had told me to sell it off second hand - and I kept coming up with excuses that perhaps the boys would use it someday … or that it was too old and outdated “no one would buy it so best we just keep it”
Truth is?
Letting it go was like letting go of a dream in completing my music lessons which I had put a cork in the bottle upon finding out I was pregnant with Iman.
As time passed on, blessed with more children and different situations that made us have to change business strategies along the way, my music hobby was getting pushed lower down the priority list as more and more items on my “to do list” grew and climbed on top.
My children says I’m not fun anymore “you’re always working mama” and last night, as I went to put Ilon to sleep promising to sit with the older kids for our weekly Friday Family movie nights (a ritual we have started to keep the children’s sanity in check during this gloomy pandemic) , I am devastated as I ended up falling asleep halfway while working and breastfeeding Ilon.
They say you must find balance in life. Work, love and play.
I don’t know how to do that anymore.
How many of you feel that this pandemic has just made you become a work zombie?
Anyone up at this hour?
Shall take a cold shower now. I’ve got a show to run in 6 hours and I’ve not done a flow yet.
Hope everyone is doing ok.

COVID 19 vaccine 1st shot for mama today ..
Mom went for her first vaccine jab today at station 3, PWTC. She has been really nervous since the day I told her about her appointment and honestly I was as nervous as her. There was a lot of questions playing in my head. Will mom pull out last minute from fear, how would my little old lady go thru all that crowd, the vaccine centre so huge and there’s a few places that would require scanning and the usage of MYsejahtera app, how would mom coup and will the vaccine given react well to her .. I mean I’ve gone to the same station and I have been so taken with the effort, gentleness, helpfulness given by all the volunteers, doctors and everyone there but like a nervous parent at their kids first day of school I still had my worries when it came tO Moms turn. But to all my delight everyone was extra helpful, extra gentle, extra polite when it came to Senior citizens. They know how stress and how scared the senior citizens are and they put in the extra effort in making them comfortable .. Subhanallah ... there is not enough thank yous that I can give to each and everyone of you that eased my moms day today .. thank you, thank you and thank you 3000 from me Baki Zainal. You guys are HEROES that should be celebrated .
Of course, it was good to see mama’s smile after her session. She’s feeling a bit warm and sleepy .. so my shift starts now. Gonna be monitoring my little old lady for this next 2 days.
For you out there whose parents are still not sure .. show them mamas video and hopefully this can help them change their minds.. insyallah ..

【歌詞】
When you say “No”, my heart's so burn この通り
頭より動くmy body
Don’t wanna let you down 本当に
でも今日もまた “Where are you going!?”
I gotta 結婚に子作り (What?)
安定の職とgood salary (Huh?)
分かんないけど、まじで無理
So much going on with my music
One day I become mama
I don’t wanna do the same
想像よりずっと子供のままだもん
Sorry but I have your soul
安売りはno no no
あとで後悔 I might cry but I know what I wanna do
When mama told me not to
When mama told me not to
I sneak out the door and get too high and
jumping to man you don’t like
I’m so あまのじゃく
It’s so “CLASSIC”
“女らしく” “男らしく”
“ラッパーらしく”
“ママらしく” “子供らしく”
大事な生き方 “自分らしく”
今日もワイドショーでは女性は「こう」
「仕事辞めるタイミングあるでしょう?」
「家に入る」世間のEyes
So what?
I’ll never stop my music
One day I become mama
I don’t wanna tell the same
遊び心は忘れたくないんだもん
Sorry but my life is mine
安売りはno no no
あとで後悔 I might cry but
I know what I wanna do
When mama told me not to
When mama told me not to
I sneak out the door and get too high and
jumping to man you don’t like
I’m so あまのじゃく
When mama told me not to
When mama told me not to
I sneak out the door and get too high and
jumping to man you don’t like
I’m so あまのじゃく
“Ok,I’m not gonna sorry for who I am,
just sayin’, sorry not sorry.”
