You Raise Me Up

Last Saturday was Tasya concert. She has to be at the concert hall by 8am. We decided to leave Adik at my parents's place since Adik will get restless during the concert like she did 2 years ago. We arrived at the hall at 8am, send Tasya to her teachers, while the rest of us decided to have a hot drink while waiting for time to get into the hall. This year we decided to get there earlier than last year since for the past 2 years we only managed to get to he back of the hall eventhough we arrived there on time.

At 9am, we decided to go to the hall-already there were people waiting at the door, at about 9.15 there were almost 100 parents waiting in a very small spaces with little ventilation. You can imagine the raising heat of the people there. There were some parents who complained, saying out loud like why can't the teachers let us in. We will not disturb the stage, etc, etc. I was like "hello...they asked you to come at 10-you are early-so waitlah"-I was saying this inside my heartlah. I can totally understand the teachers, why they did not open the door earlier-knowing all these parents-they think just because they send their kids there, the teachers must listen to them. There were this couple behind me, the wife was so rude-saying all the bad things about the teachers, she even asked her husband to bang the door so that the teachers inside will open the door. The husband could not be bothered to entertain her. Finally she herself went to the door and with all of us watching in disbelief-she bangon the door as loudly as she could. Come on lah. Everday during my working time, I was on the other side, I really hate it when people come early then ketuk-ketuk pintu nak masuk cepat. I purposely will ignore them.

There were 15 classes, and Tasya class was the 11 class to perform. Her class's theme was hip hop music. If I'm not mistaken the song was JLo song. Overall this year concert was very enjoyable. I know lots of song that I can sing along with Azrai. There were song from Lizzie Mcguire movie, of course from High School Musical, and also song from VE.

At the end of the concert, all kids sang this song "you raise me up'-dedicated especailly to the parents. We were encouraged to sing along with them. This is the first time that I'm actually listen to the words and I was so closed to tears when the kids sang that song. They were singing this song to all their mummies and daddies but to me my kids raise me up. They are the reasons for whatever I did, I will make sure that they are happy, they have enough love from both of us. Sometimes I think that I spoilt all my kids,I cannot hear them cry, I will try to fulfill their needs, I love my kids so very much. When I sing that song I sang it for my kids. Do you know that we did not have a proper bed? For the past 2 years we slept on a comforter set? Every time we want to buy a proper bed some thing can up that we have to use the cash for more important things for the kids. And the bed is also free bed courtesy of Mark Augustine(one of the teacher at my centre, nak balik kampung so want to get rid of his bed)

To me my kids are the wind beneath my wings......

You Raise me Up-Josh Groban
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up...to more than I can be

(Music plays for 30 seconds)

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up...to more than I can be

(Choir comes in background as music comes in hard)

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up...to more than I can be

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up...to more than I can be

You raise me up...to more than I can be
