Alamak!

On the first week of attending pre-school, Sherilyn was already acting like a ‘tai kar cheh’ (big sister in Cantonese) and displaying some of her ‘leadership skills’. This is what she said to her classmate who kept crying in class :

“Hey, why you everyday cry, cry, cry? Alamak!”

As she said ‘Alamak’ (which means ‘My goodness’ in Malay), she even slapped her forehead with her palm. Her teacher found it so hilarious that she told daddy when he came to pick her up after school.
