chantek

Cantik may be my favourite word in Malay
A language I should know so much better

A word as soft, endearing, cheeky sweet in sound as in meaning...

A smile the only way to respond
when a grandfather greets

his knee high princess, 
wearing a paper crown

Cantik lah! 

*Pronounced as "chantek"
