Kai's obsession - the good and the bad

It's an obsession indeed. For weeks now, he has been playing a song on YouTube, and has learnt how to sing it. This would have been great! I mean, I love listening to songs and singing too!

BUT!

1) He plays and/or sings the song waaay too much. And often, he came to terrorise us all the time, suddenly bursting into song at our ears. That quickly went from cute to irritating. 

2) It's a blangrah song. Yes, blangrah. So no one in this family understands a word. If anyone is interested, the song is "Mundian To Bach Ke", apparently quite a big hit. 

When I finally listened to the song myself, I also found that my son is no singer. Or at least, no singer of Punjabi lyrics. That did not stop him from singing the song in school though. 

Then he started playing the song - maybe just the chorus; I'm not familiar with the song - in Garage Band on the iPad, which eventually led to him playing the song on the piano in the school canteen!

I really give it to him. This boy has not learnt music outside of music class in school. But he 敢敢 played on a public piano anyway.

Apparently, some students joined him, and some told him to just stop. One Indian boy also told him he sang the lyrics wrongly.

But nothing deters him. No, not this boy. He continues to play and sing his current favourite song.

He can be so full of confidence sometimes. Whether it's real or misplaced can be subject :p But ok, go ahead, my boy, and have fun!

Just don't sing too much to Papa and Mama. And, can we have English or Mandarin songs next time, please? :)
