Truly Malaysian, ... lah

When Champion wants us to open something for him, he will say, "Open naaaa". Apparently, he caught us saying "Open lah", and now, he has learnt to use this word!

zara's mama,
LOL, you're right.

egghead,
actually I didn't want to use these words so fast, but i failed to keep it away from him. I guess we can't run away from it, huh! :)

hehe, my boy is having all those chinaman slang as well - got that from some neighbourhood kids. He's also getting some indon slangs - from the maid! And definitely not to be missed - the Malaysian slang

baby smooches,
kids do really catch up fast heh. I find it real cute, especially when they add those adult slang or even speak Malay.
