Kristine has been bugging us to get her a violin. I am not sure where she got the idea from but as a Dad, I have to consider her request. First of all, I could get he a toy violin from some Pasar Malam which would fit into her profile as a 5-minute toy killer. But, then again, what if she is really interested in playing the violin and also, could be a prodigy at it? Nah. So, we went to Toys 'R Us (Mid-Valley) to get her one.
When we were there, there was no violin in sight except for those electronic toy versions which when I tried it, only plays a song when you drag the bow across. So, we decided on the next best thing. A keyboard. Not only does it allow you to play with different musical instruments, it also has a memory bank of a few of her favourite songs in it. And so, being RM69.90 poorer, Kristine forgot all about the violin......
Still, the anticipation of dreaded plinky plonks to our ears the whole day did not arrive. Which is a good thing. She can make some of her own music and it was bearable. Imagine if she asked for a drum instead.....

She is happy but unfortunately, the batteries ran out after 24hours
