Special Angel sang by Mikaail Ermin Tan

This morning, before we set off to the Make-A-Wish Foundation party, I asked Mikaail if he was going to sing a song.  He gamely said yes and gave me 4 titles:

1. Special Angel
2. Hero
3. Banana Phone
4. Ring Ring

Told him to select only one and he said he wants to sing 4! 

This song, Special Angel, has some sort of an emotional attachment to me I find that it is a very meaningful song.  When we were at the Make-A-Wish Foundation party earlier this afternoon and with Mikaail singing this song, both daddy and mummy, suddenly overcome with certain unexplained emotion!

Mikaail's Hobby

When I previously spoke with Christine, from the Make A Wish Foundation, I told her how Mikaail loves singing and dancing.  Being severely handicapped, he sings in his own very special pronounciation and dancing by moving his left hand in various position.

I will usually log on to YouTube to sing with him several songs and one of the songs we will always sing is Special Angel by Bobby Helms.  I told him that he is my special angel when he was a baby and he will always be my special angel.  He usually tells me that I am in his heart but not when he has his favourite food ie half boiled egg and essence of chicken.  Then I will be out of his heart!!  Little rascal!!  When he is in the mood to tease me, he will call me by my name!

This is Mikaail singing at the Make-A-Wish Foundation party.  I am surprised that he is so relaxed and happy singing using the microphone.  As he has lost his vision, he does not know the number of people there  listening to him so there is no stage fright!! :)

Pre-Make A Wish Foundation Party

Mikaail is all excited about this party and also told us he wanted to wear a blue shirt.  Yesterday, aunty Yaya went to buy him his shirt - a little big though as the shop didnt have the shirt in his size.

A couple of days ago, he asked who are coming to his party then he also asked if a couple of his cousins are coming.  I told him the who's who on his guest list excluding him - just to tease him.  Then he said he is sad - put his head down and show his sad face.  He is quite a "drama" fella then I told him I was only teasing him and instantly he is happy again!
