'Popiah' or Merdeka?

Po-po(maternal grandma) taught Elly to say 'Merdeka' whenever she sees Malaysia flag. This year we celebrated the grandest Merdeka since it is the 5oth anniversary on 31 Aug.

Somehow when Elly try to pronounce 'Merdeka', it turned out to be 'popiah'(spring roll). Initially when she saw the Malaysia flag at highways, roads, shops, tv or newspapers, I did not realised that she was referring to the flag and felt funny.

Only realised it when i bought her a mini flag and she excitedly said 'popiah' 'popiah'! And for the past one month she loved to carry her flag and waved it. hmmm... a lil' patriotic Malaysian in the making.....:)
