It was a day of revision for the girls on Saturday. They are sitting for their final exam starting today for a whole school week. After all the monotonous book stuff, which tired and bored them to the bones (that’s always the case when it comes to pre-exam revision), a surprise unfolded when the door bell rang. It was daddy and he had brought back bags of goodies! They were stacks of original Disney magazines, books, stationery, stickers, Japanese manga comics translated into English and BM, girls’ accessories and snacks! He had bought them from a church carnival and the goodies were worth a few hundred Ringgit. Alycia who was napping on the couch darted up to unravel the bags of goodies when he heard the excited “OOOHS” and “WOWS” from her sisters.
Stress buster — Alycia reading a very interesting Princess magazine in Malay language. I never knew that these magazines come in BM version too and it’s a perfect discovery as I can now buy these mags for them to read to improve their BM language. My girls love reading story books and newspapers but somehow, story books and dailies in BM would just bore them to sleep.
After spending over an hour checking out their goodies, we went out for dinner. I prefer to eat out during the exam period so that I can spend my time revising with the girls instead of cooking and doing the dishes which can take up to 2 hours.
Good luck girls! Dear God, please guide Alycia and Sherilyn’s mind, eyes and hands and help them to read their questions carefully. Please guide them to choose and write the correct answers to all the questions, Amen!

All the best to your two girls on their final exam! My boy’s exam also started today for a whole school week. Today is BM Pemahaman & Penulisan papers. As for BM storybooks, my boy loves reading Upin & Ipin and also those Korean translated adventure comic books.
Inspiredmom, all the best to your boy too! My girls are sitting for their BM test too today. Tomorrow will be Science in Chinese and English :S
Good to release some stress on the girls. Those mag sure will attract kids to read more….
