As Special Guest

Shenny was invited as special guest to perform at a graduation concert organized by Ideal Music on 18 April 2013.

She performed two songs using ukulele as described below: 

1) El Condor Pasa



2)You Are My Sunshine:


(P.S. There was a different between these two songs. 
The difference was that Shenny had performed "You Are My Sunshine" for numerous times on stage while "El Condor Pasa" is the FIRST time. 
Though there was a slight hiccup at "El Condor Pasa", but mommy felt very proud of her attempt.  Also, she spent less than 3 days to practice the song.)

Ballet Rehearsal (2013)

This is a back-dated post again.

As usual, before the actual Ballet exam, mommy and papa were invited to sit in to watch Shenny's Ballet Pre-exam performance.  Her actual exam would fall on two weeks later.

For this year, the examiner would assess students based on group (4 and 2 persons) and individual performance.

Below were photos taken during rehearsal and on the actual exam day:

And the following were some dances prepared for the exam.

2013 'Thank You' card

Here is Shenny's 2013 Thank You cards for all her teachers in primary school.

Her Rotooli

This is another back-dated post. Shenny did this in late January, 2013.

The Rotooli is a Paper Craft.  You may view the full process how it was made from this link.

The original price for this craft thingy is not cheap but mommy bought it during sale. The price is at 50% less than the original price.

Shenny enjoyed the process to make it.

Birthday Cards

Below two birthday greeting cards are Shenny's latest creation:

For her friend - Soh Qi Xuan

For her aunty in The Netherlands

Her Second Essay Assignment

This is another back-dated post.  The essay was written in last November (11/2012).

The mission for this round was Shenny had to finish it within the class time, unlike previously which she could spend some time at home to think and write her essay in a more constructive way. 
In her essay, Shenny was referring to the Halloween Party which she attended in last October.

Different Kind of Holiday Fun - Meet Ukulele Masters

Shenny and her Ukulele Sunshine Group headed north to Penang during last March school holiday (28/3/13 - 31/3/13).  Not all the members were able to make it.  However, there were a total of 30 persons to visit Penang this time.
The reason for us to head north was to meet up with Hawaiian Ukulele Master Mr. Kimo Hussey and Taiwanese Ukulele Master Mr. David Chen.  They were invited by Mr. Chew (the owner of Manuel Ukulele) to come to Penang Island to run workshops as well as hold a solo concert at Wawasan Open University.  And, Shenny and her group were given opportunity to perform on the same stage with them too as a pre event concert.

Indeed, this is an exciting trip with lots of knowledge gained from the two Ukulele Masters.
Mommy would like to thank teacher Kelly for organizing this trip and also thanks her for driving us to Penang (4 hours to Penang and 9 hours from Penang).  We had a few cars go to Penang but mommy and Shenny took a lift from teacher Kelly's car.  Papa didn't come with us.

Below are some photos of what we had done in this wonderful trip and definitely this is a memorable holiday trip for Shenny too:

28/3/13 - First day activities -
1 & 2 & 3 -> Quick rehearsal in the hotel room group photos at Wawasan Open University's main entrance
4) Quick blunt for dinner (cookies & cakes) and took dinner / supper later

28/313 - 31/3/13 - Various activities -
pool fun, makan makan, ukulele jamming at pool side and inside the hotel room, 
sleep with friends in the same room and sight seeing.

Write story

This is a very very very long back-dated post. Shenny did this when she was four year plus.  Mommy forgot to publish this and left it as draft copy in Shenny's blog.

Shenny always wants to find opportunity to use the computer.  Mommy thinks normally she will play games only if uses the computer.   Therefore, mommy sets a rule for her.  She is only allowed to touch the computer during weekends.  If she forgot to ask for it in weekends, then she just loses her chance to use the computer. 

Sometimes she gives excuses that she wants to learn to write her story in the computer.  It means that she doesn't play games but she is learning.  So, mommy has to give in her request to allow her to use the computer even weekdays.  And yes, she really keeps her promise that she doesn't touch the games stuff especially weekdays.
