Adlina's Action Song Competition

Azizah, Adlina, Trushilla, Madihah, Fazlin

Adlina's team from SK Ayer Keroh won 2nd place at the State Level Action Song Competition today!! Hurray for Adlina!! :-)

Personally, I felt that Adlina's team should have won the Competition. The winning team had beautiful costumes & props, but their performance was more of a musical play or a pantomime, not an Action Song. There was no synchronization at all, more like story telling in a dance. Technically it did not comply with the rules of an Action Song which requires team synchronization & action. 

Adlina's team did really, really well. Their actions were perfectly synchronized. Their diction was clear. They sang about Traffic rules & their costumes were colourful & bright! They had a big yellow school bus cut out from styrofoam & traffic lights as props. 5 of the boys were in police & traffic police uniforms. They were all so cute & wonderful!


 Adlina was sad when the result was announced. She had tears in her eyes & I was crushed. She really wanted to win & go to the Finals in Selangor with her friends. I held her in my arms & consoled her. I told her that she did really well & her team put up a fantastic show. That's more important. 

I told the kids that sometimes in competitions, we may be faced with unfair judging. It happens sometimes, and we must be brave in facing it. You may have been the best, but the other team got lucky. It may seem unfair, but that is life.


To my darling Adlina: Mama is so proud of you today! You look so pretty in your costume! <3

Hi Adlina,

You didn't just learn 4 new songs.

Congrats to Adlina!
Just so you know, dear, life sometimes is very unfair. I faced this too when I was in school. We did our best but the judge decided that we were not supposed to come out as champions. I wonder why...

Anyway, the main thing is not winning. It is that you did your best and you enjoyed the whole performance. That's what matters!

Love lots,
Ngah
