LULLABIES

I've always wondered what a lullaby sound like. I mean, I've heard kiddy rhymes and songs but I don't think I've heard a bona fide lullaby. So when I started singing to Yu Zhe's, I wondered again about lullabies. I sang kiddy songs at first and then one day it happened. I created my own lullaby.

It's nothing much. In fact, it's a silly little ditty, four repetitive lines and melody. It goes:

Mummy sayang Yu Zhe's
Mummy sayang Yu Zhe's
Mummy sayang, mummy sayang
Mummy sayang Zhe Zhe's

There! Silly ain't it? But it's just for MY SON. Our thing. Some days I come up with some other stuff I can't remember but the "lullaby" above still plays on Radio M.U.M. regularly.

When I first sang to Yu Zhe's, we were trying to train him to sleep insides cradles when he about 2 months++ old without carried. It took him some time and I thought, why not sing? So I did. And he slept in less than 3 minutes! The next night or so, he slept almost immediately upon hearing me sing. I don't know whether to be offended or glad! ha ha!

And now mummy oso singing to meimei's too... this little meimei's will stop cries when she heard my singing ler... I used to sang kiddy song ''妹妹背着洋娃娃''to her, she loves to heard!!!
