At Grandma's Place

When Daddy and Mummy were in Bangkok for 5 days, Shannon went to Grandma's place. As, usual, she will entertain them with her antics. Among happenings and conversations Shannon had with her grandparents were:


Grandma: Don't sit on the hand phone wait kemek (a peranakan word which actually means flat. The Malay word is penyek).
Shannon laughed and laughed when she heard that word
Grandma: If grandma punch your nose what will happen?
Shannon: kemek (she laughed and laughed)

Kong Kong was finding something in his pocket and Shannon asked, "Kong Kong what are you digging?" Kong Kong was amazed that Shannon noticed him and could even asked that question.

Mama brought Shannon to the Klebang Beach in Melaka. It was her first time to the beach. She likes the beach but was afraid of her feet touching the sand. She asked to be carried all the time. Well, we are going to the beach again next weekend, thanks to David's company, we are staying here. Hope she likes the sand there. Will blog about her sand experience when we are back.

One morning Shannon got up and passed Grandma's hand phone and said there was a missed call. It was indeed a missed call. Grandma asked Shannon to take Atta's phone and asked, "Is there a missed call girl" Shannon said, "No."

Later, Grandma rang Atta and gave him a missed call. Grandma took Shannon to Atta's phone and asked, "Atta has a missed call?" Shannon said "Yes. missed call". Don't think she can read yet but if it's a single line of words and not a picture of her in the phone, she knows that it's a missed call.

Atta made for Shannon Mango Juice. It is not the one that we juice ourselves but the one they sell in super marts in bottles. We usually discourage her from having this high coloured and artificial flavoured drink. Grandma was looking at her drinking and Shannon said, "Wait Mama scold you, drink Mango Juice". Grandma said, "Why scold me, scold Atta because Atta made the Mango Juice for you."

Grandparents said my daughter is smart. I silently agree, smiled and said, "All kids are smart nowadays."
