Two more weeks and the 3 girls will be sitting for their Final Exam for the year 2013! It is the time of the year again where stress is flying everywhere in the house. Well, it is only me who is stressed up actually. The girls get stressed up because I am stressed up! If only I can be nonchalant about exams and have a ‘come what may, things will be just fine’ outlook, I don’t have to have my eyebrows all scrunched up all the time haha!
Anyway, I am still too lazy to sit down to revise with the girls. I am too comfy to leave my PC to the ‘pressure cooker’ where I know I will surely get cooked up and boiling after just half an hour. The girls are still playing and reading story books. Alycia is happy playing with the guitar, reading her stack of novels and fixing a clothes hanger from scratch…
This is her Kemahiran Hidup (Living Skills) homework from school and the pupils are required to assemble a clothes hanger by referring to a manual.
Half an hour later, my smartie successfully assembled the clothes hanger without getting any help…
Alycia asked me if I’d like to buy it from her at RM2! This girl has a very entrepreneurial mind, just like her mummy and daddy!
I really think that the Kemahiran Hidup subject is an excellent subject for all students. During my time, there was no such subject taught in schools and the lack of it has caused me to be quite handicapped when it comes to fixing things. For the life of me, I can never assemble a piece of furniture or a fixture without help. Plus with a lack of patience, fixing things is just not my forte. Thankfully my hubs and daughters are always more than willing to help out.
Have a great weekend friends!

Tell Alycia Granny offers her RM10 for her selfmade clothes hanger if she’s willing to part with it afer all the hard work! Consider it as a labour of love?
She’ll be glad to hear that granny! 🙂
Personally I think Kemahiran Hidup is a great subject .. problem is that when it comes to exam, ask those stupid and silly questions, and I ended up just memorising them, without knowing how to apply them … 🙁 I know how to sew up clothes and loose buttons by hand, thanks to KH .. too bad, I didn’t know how to the sewing machine …
