fashion parade

fashion parade show.

at mom's place, in the cozy room.

i told the girls,"3 awards. best, sexiest and funniest award to be given, based on individual voting".

they were all thrilled, esp white's 2 kids.

'can we vote for ourselves?" one of the kids asked.

"yes lah, can!" me replying in broken english. must have been lucas rubbing on his 'singlish' expression to me.

whole nite, i heard him saying,"no lah.." , haha.

so, guess who was awarded accordingly.

claire got all the awards, i think. even though i voted for nat on 'most sexy' and lucas on 'funniest' category.

well, i told the kids, we hv to vote from our hearts. ie. no cheating or skewed votes, haha.

indeed, claire gave her very best and made everybody laugh.

on the way back, she asked,"was i really funny? i dun find it leh!"

i told her, "yes, the reason why your cousins voted for u was, u were bold and dared to try the poses....furthermore, u hv an advantage coz' u and joy always did such fashion parade since young, for fun..." in fact, i think joy might still possess some of the videos. very comical and entertaining.


the whole idea was to tell claire that having early exposure to different things would be beneficial. coz' u started overcoming ur shyness and would be more ready to demonstrate your talent.

white's 2 kids are really spontaneous. that's what i like about them. just do it and laugh over it....no grandmother story! lucas was always the first one to act, when there's any request from me.

nat was also doing her best, probably taking the boldness from claire, just to shake the butt and act sexy. na was a little shy, but still i told all, it was a good effort for everybody to give it a shot.

i think the kids had great time....laughing away in the room.

on the way back, claire told me,"mommy, they said i'm very funny leh. am i funny?"

"well, it's always good to let down your hair and play to the maximum. if u can entertain pple with ur show, showcasing your talent, why hide behind the curtains, rite?"

afterall, kids learn from one another. give me a bunch of spontaneous kids, anytime!

after her bath at home, claire was quite inspired to try out indian and peacock dance for her daddy. i tell u, her indian dance steps were so funny, short of her looking dark-skinned and dorning a sari, that's all!

i told her,"u gotta teach your cousins the indian dance and present to ergu when she's back. coz' it's really entertaining and will make one laugh..."


i shared with hubby that uncle mano should be the rightful audience to such show...he will surely appreciate it and 一解乡愁，哈哈!

(p/s: kids need plenty of encouragement. i would be happy to turn claire's inhibitions into courage to perform. to me, she has the flexibility and talents, but just too reluctant to showcase! hope she will overcome all obstacles in due coure....)
