DD's classmates are mostly Chinese. When previously she spoke English with Malay punctuations, nowadays she does so with Chinese ones.
So I asked her, "Why do you speak like a Chinese? Do you want to be Chinese?"
DD's response, "No, I don't want to be Chinese."
Me: "What do you want to be then?"
DD: "I want to be Malaysian."
The other day, I asked if she would like to have Chinese pancake for tea. She shook her head vigorously and said, "No! I'm Malay, so I want Malay pancake!"
And then on another day, when she told me she wanted to "bobok", I urged her to go the bathroom. She looked perplexed at first. Then she realized the misunderstanding and explained to me that bobok means "sleep", not "poo poo".
Life's never boring when you have a little one at home.

Tumpang gembira with your happiness. Dpt melawat sementara ni krn ada budak cuti semester bawa balik comp kat rumah. Hm..
aida.. see you sunday.
ibu wa alim.. it's up to us whether we want to be happy. Sometimes I choose to be happy over the littlest thing, but sometimes I get sad over the littlest thing too. Are you coming on Sunday?
