An airbag, a Camry and a brutal murder
The following conversation happen inside my car between 3 young kids (all under 12) after a yong-tau-fu supper.
Kids 1 : “Pokse! Pokse! Airbag ni kalu dio tubik, bole wak ma’suk balik, ko?”
Kids 2 : “Mano bule!”
Kids 1 : “Kheto Latio abah, airbag dio tok tubik lagi. Kheto Sentra pokse ni, tubik dok ko?”
Kids 2 : “Pokse keno teqha langga tia lapu, hahaha”
Suddenly there was a roadblock upfront.
Kids 3 : “Cepat, cepat, cepat paka sit belt! Ado polih nuh”
Kids 2 : “Smalea ado qho’ blok jugok sini”
Kids 3 : “Abah ghoyak ko Mama ado ore’ mati kena bunoh”
Kids 1 : “Bilo?”
Kids 2 : “Malea!”
There is an old Camry was park next to a patrol car.
Kids 1 : “Camry…”
Kids 2 : “Keto dia lagi maha lagi ko dengan keta Latio?”
Kids 1 : “Keja’ ”
A little pause.
Kids 1 : “Camry lamo ni tapi maha lagi…”
Kids 3 : “Hok ni ado airbag jugok ko?”
A policemen flash a light towards them!
Policemen 1 : “Budo’-budo’ ni maghi mano ni?”
Me : “Tubik make”
Kids 1 : “Nok balik qhumoh Tok!”
Policemen 2 : “Jale! Jale!”
There is plenty of small talk I heard between them likes about which fireworks is more exciting and a coworker also a friend to their mothers have to be transfered to Johor that’s make me chuckle.
However its start to make me wonder if kids do notices a little thing more than you expected and what will they think about this nasty thing and many other things currently happening to our society.
May God be with us all during the last few days of Ramadhan!

Danial; even myself having so much difficulty to understand what they were talking about since it’s very rare for me to speak my own dialek when I’m KL;
They were talking about an airbag of my car and comparing it with their dad car and how to make the airbag come out from its compartment by hitting the lamp post.
And they started to talk about the brutal murder happen a few day ago near by their house and continue to discuss about which Nissan car is more expensive between Latio, Sentra and Camry.
Happy holiday 2U2; see you when I’m back to KL – lets have a gathering when other bloggers back to the town too.

Budlee, kids love to talk thing out of blue (not blue stuff tho) and they are like a photocopier machine… darker and blurry

i think i am more suprised that they even know about airbags and how they work… some of the adults still don’t know what an airbag is and still refuse to get a car equipped with it for the save of saving a few ringgits for the monthly installements.

You’re right; that why I wrote this entry… somehow kids do care what happening around them – I remember they even talk about buckle up at the back and asking between each other which car have sit belt on the back…
