Disney Theme Songs - Down Memory Lanes

I remember growing up with Beauty and The Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderalla, The Little Mermaid, etc.

I remember staging musicals with these theme songs with my K2 Graduands. I remember all these fondly. And because of these songs, my K2 children were always in party dresses and three piece suits. :) I cannot express adequately in words how much all these memories mean to me. The sad thing is that all the Concert items were then in Video Recording Technology and all the Video Tapes I have are now mouldy. Getting them demould and transfer to VCD form will cost a bomb.

Anyway, just to share a little pleasant treat I gave myself this morning.

I went to the market to get breakfast and lunch for my family. Well, it is raining in the morning, gotta stock up food in case we are stuck at home. :)

I passed by the Provision Shop (such a rare sight nowadays), esp in the new estates. And I saw a Disney Princess CD collection. What caught my eye is that it is priced at $5 !!!!!!!! Original, no kidding. There is the original CD sticker!!

Ok grab and ... now "savouring" every song. :). Plus all lyrics in, in a booklet, all for $5. Worth it, right?

As each song is played on my PC media player, it really brings lots of great memories back and I try to count on the years. I realise that the batch of students who danced "Beauty and The Beast" are already in JC/ Poly! The Aladdin's group will be sitting for "O" Levels, and oh mine, I am so old ....... :(

Just sharing.
Thanks for reading.

Guess today, will be just hearing these songs.

And oh yes, btw, I think Zoe has an ear for music. She seems to be able to sing any song from CD / VCD even she only heard the songs twice. She has been singing "Sound of Music".... hmmmm .... my genes ? hahaha , just kidding. I am not that fast in catching music, tunes and lyrics. Her Principal said to me during her concert night that it is a talent. She actually picked Zoe to sing a solo part for her item, but during rehearsal week, they decided to cut off this part, as Zoe seemed overwhelmed by the task and she preferred to sing with her classmates. :)). What a compliment. :) And blessing.

Love,
Jesselyn
