saya anak Melayu, dan anda?

my conversation with one of my 3 year old students:

Me: nama apa?

(silence)

Me: what's your name?

Alyff: Alyff!

(okay...takkan tak faham bahasa Melayu kot budak ni)

Me: Alyff berapa tahun?

(silence)

Me: How old are you Alyff?

Alyff: I'm 3 years old!!! (while showing me three fingers)

Me: tak faham bahasa Melayu ke?

(silence)


Lucky he's cute.
See abah? I'm not so bad after all...
