No lah… Can lah…(A Truly Malaysian Thing)

Yup! Shannon uses lots of lahs now. Must remind daddy n I not to use too much lah’s in our conversation.

Shanon: Daddy, I want gen (vitagen)

Daddy: You had one already and you can’t have another one.

Shanon: Can-lah

Daddy and I speechless.

On a separate ocassion, Shannon accidentally wetted her pants in the car.

Mummy: Shannon, change your pampers (diapers).

Shannon: Want wear Pooh Bear Pampers.

Mummy: No Pooh Bear Pampers in the bag.

Shannon: Got-lah

On another separate occasion, we asked her,

Mummy: Shannon, are you cute

Shannon: No-lah

She not only uses all the lahs, but also alamak! ah yo! tak da and goodness!. She says all these expressions just like we do!! She says it like a nyonya lady.
