PIAK PIAK PIAK

gone window shopping this AM
saw a mother of three in action
what happened?
well this happened:

three little girls were running ard in circles in a okok crowded mall
mother went "enough. stop running"
three little girls continued running and laffing and giggling
mother then went "I said its enough. come back here NOW"
three little girls continued doing what they wanted to do, totally bo heel the mother's pre warnings and warnings
then next moment, mother took a step forward, "piak piak piak" and then " I said enough is enough"
and then the second "piak piak piak" and the third... or did I missed the third piak?
anyway enough share of punishment for three of them.... steady rite? normally, during my time, whoever "Sway" will tio whack and the "lucky" one will just tio lecture

anyway, I thought the three of them will cry and the mother will continue to rattle on and on with her lecture.....
afterall, during my time, I would have felt pai seh and then will just stood there and sniff sniff abit
what happened next, caught me totally by surprised

the three little girls though stopped running le, but they were laffing!!!
DUH!!
totally unbelievable!!
means what? children today not afraid of being whack in public?
and the mother was like telling them "I already said enough is enough right?" and they were will laffing and giggling away
they dun see where they r wrong????  or even whats wrong??
hm... this is totally unacceptable rite?
I mean... DUH
