What’s your Favourite Kindergarten Song?

 

I was enrolled into a Chinese kindergarten.

It was only for a year but I succeeded to go through the Malay subject classes

without being noticed---My workbook was ruined by spilled water(you know lah kids~)

Despite the lack of involvement in class, I still took part in the activities

especially in singing sessions --- learned all the Chinese, English and Malay songs.

However, the one that still clings in my mind is “Hujan Dah Turun”

This was how I sang the song: ---->

 

Tip tap tip tap hujan dah turun

Tip tap tip tap hujan dah turun

Tip tap tip tap baju dah basah

Mari kita ambil bayung~

 

If you noticed, I pronounced the initial consonant of the word ‘payung’ with the

consonant ‘b’ .

I even fought with my mother about the correct pronunciation of the word and

the justification that I presented was “ My teacher taught me that!”

Well, entering the primary school made me realized my mistake.

I guess it was the overwhelming influence of how the Chinese pronounces

certain letters differently..----I couldn’t help it, really!

p/s: I kind of missed the chicken porridge and fried mee that were served to us during recess…Tq mum for enrolling me to Tzu Yu kindergarten…
