I do what mommies in my generation do, singing lullabies to my children before they sleep or to calm them down, or whenever the need arises. It feels great, as they listen attentively like I'm the greatest Malaysia Idol, unlike those friends who threatened to throw bad eggs at me if I don't keep my mouth shut. (Well, I'm not saying about you, so don't worry...:D )
But the routine of bedtime lullabies can rather be a bit exhaustive and boring at times, when the songs are those same ones (they do the songs selection), repeated every single night, and it's a MUST no matter how tired I was, or if I was already sleeping.
Yesterday, all the effort paid off, as my little girl sang back the lullabies to me to keep me awake while I was driving home from work. It made so darn happy as we talked on the phone, ALL THE WAY HOME FOR 30 MINS! And when the conversation topics end, as it's so limited, I asked her to render a few songs for me, and she start singing back to me with all her mighty fury, all those lullabies I sing to her every single night. Driving home alone on a tiring working day couldn't be better than that.
