I remembered a conversation with Zareef a couple of days ago, while driving him and Zara "ikut sederhana" (means driving them around the blocks before going to work). I was persuading him to go to school as he said he was reluctant to go to school that day..
Mama : Zareef kena la pergi sekolah.. nak jadi engineer kena pergi sekolah, bagi pandai
Zareef : Tapi Zareef dah pandai dah.. Zareef dah tau dah semua teacher ajar
Mama : Ye ke, tapi Zareef tak pandai baca lagi..
Zareef : Pandai la, Zareef dah pandai spell
Mama : Tapi Zareef tak pandai baca, tak pandai tambah, tolak darab, bahagi. Banyak lagi Zareef nak belajar!
Zareef : OK la mama....
It's so funny how they think and look upon the world..Their world is simple and very straightforward. How I wish the world is really like that.. hehe..
