Orang putih

Both Tasya and Azrai now are with my parents. My parents took them going back kampung, since both of me and Amli are working and cannot take leave, they took the kids. At least they are going some where during this school holidays.

Every day, either I will call them or my sister will call me to report on their activities or thier mishap to me.

Yesterday, my sister called me and told me of this funny incident with Azrai. They went to my grandmother house, and they were eating durians. I know Tasya wouldn't eat durian, in fact both Tasya and Adriana does not like fruits. Full stop. But Azrai loves fruits, he loves oranges, grapes, appleas, in fact all sort of fruits. So, it was quite unusual for him not to eat durian. My grandfather then asked him, " Azrai, kenapa tak makan durian" and his replied was so unexpected that everybody were laughing when they heard his replied. He said "kita orang putih, tak makan durian!!!!"

I was like what?? Who taught him that? Tasya wants to be British now Azrai wants to be orang putih. I guess I have to install the sense of patriotism in my kids. We are Malaysian and we shoudlbe proud to be Malaysian. Kids nowadays( infact me also) take our independece and sense of nation so lightly. So, this merdeka I want to bring my kids to the Merdeka parade and let them watch it like I used to do when I was small. BUT do i really want to wake them up early in the morning and then drag them to watch the parade?? I will let you know later............(if we are actually doing this!!!)
