i don't want to live on the moon

Let's sing-a-long [and yes, you don't have to pay RM1/song]

or click here for a grown up version "I Don't Want to Live On The Moon"

i don't want to live on the moon

Well, I'd like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
But I don't think I'd like to live there
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don't want to live on the moon

I'd like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
But I don't think I'd like to live there
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
So I don't want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No, I don't want to live on the moon

[oh yeah..so i'll be close to my mum and dad..]

I still remember when I was young, my mum made me watch Sesame Street so that I learn English. I remembered her making flash cards of words out of boxes so that I will get my first education from her. She taught me with patience. I remember her making records of my first words (sadly, we lost the cassettes while moving in and out a lot of times). She taught me well that when I went to kindergarten, i knew almost everything that I helped my friends to learn. My other friends did not get much education at home maybe because their parents were working, but my mom did not.
Once, my parent thought of quitting me from ELC [Early Learning Center, my kindergarten] because we [including me] believe that my mum can do the exact job my teacher was doing. But, my teacher came to my house and asked my parent not to and they promised to let me moved up to class Saidina Abu Bakar [they claimed that the students were better than my class, Saidina Umar]. My parents agreed. I don't know, but maybe I don't have many friends that I felt so left out, and my new teacher, Ustazah Rugayyah was a very strict lady [ she made us stood outside the class if we failed to give the right meaning of the Arabic words we learned ] that it caused me to fell on the second spot in the class. But my parents were happy, I knew it from their face.
When I listen to this song, it brings tears to my eyes. Not only that Earnie of Sesame Street brings up the memories, but the song reminds me of how I always want to be close to my parents.
I want them to know that I love them with all of my heart and I always try to be their good daughter. Mom and dad, I love you!
