Pelat Zareef

I recently bought Zareefs class picture. Seeing all the cute kids in their Smart Reader uniforms was really nice and amusing. I wonder how the teacher and photographer got all of them to smile. I cant even get zara and zareef to synchronizingly look into the camera.

So looking at the pictures together with Zareef i asked him all his class mates name. It was hilarious how he pronounces them. Heres a few example.

  • Gareth had become Carrot
  • Nagulan had become Ambulance
  • Raveena had become Ribena
  • Danny Choo had become Danny Shoe
  • Szara had become Zara ada S (ironically her brother is Szarif and our daughter is Zara)
A lesson learned, the simpler the name the less likely you'll be called a vegetable, vehicle or footwear

Haha..true, true. My son's new best friend's name is Maxwell. Imagine a 3 year old's tongue trying to pronounce the name, hence jadi Mallox (a name of a famous medicine here) la, maxxell la. Letakla gambar class tu. I also wonder how they take smiling pics of the kids...
