Today, we're celebrating my mom's 70th birthday at a chinese restaurant and it's also a day marking Renee's and my first! First what? Well, for Renee, it's her first 'public' violin 'performance' and for me, nothing big deal, just a first real drive out to the road with daddy's a6, hahahahaha(supposed to be driving to and fro e rest. to familiarise myself with its acceleration/braking power/turning radius but we were running late and daddy suggested he drove there first, heee).During her 2 days(yesterday and today's) practice on the Happy Birthday song, she had played the song both times(1st normal tune and the 2nd with more dynamics - 'drag', 'ritard') with better confidence but tonight, although she played the 1st set nicely, she had fumbled midway during the 2nd set 'cos she missed a note...heee. Nevermind, it's ok, the more important thing was that she had this opportunity to play infront of a bigger audience in the open :). However, I noticed when she had carried on playing her other tunes, her most attentive 'audience' was her Ah Gong!(pity daddy didn't take the camera over from me to capture that) hahaha. He seemed to have enjoyed it the most amongst all the rest, well, at least her efforts was not wasted, lolz. On the other hand, Elsie was very concerned as to how we're going to follow her rythm(she's new afterall, haha) and what we have to do whilst she played the other tunes(nothing actually, keke), , :D. And oh ya, for playing the violin, she was rewarded with another Ang Pao from Ah Ma! hahaha.
*Time flies, last year today(exactly, :>), she was still 'pretend playing' on her toy violin and hummed the birthday song('cos we've not sent her to the class then) for her grandma on video...
Back home later, I found another way of wearing the 'dress' actually looks better :
Worn it this way. Used to tie a big riboon with infront
but she wanted it at the back tonight instead :
