My two older girls, Alycia and Sherilyn, don’t even have physical textbooks for their courses—everything they need is in digital format. Yet, amidst this shift, I’m proud…

KL Book Exchange
For the last one year, our avid bookworm has been pestering me to bring her to the book exchange ground at our neighborhood held on the first Sunday of each month. But I never had the time to do it. Firstly, it’s on a Sunday where the girls have Sunday School and Youth Fellowship at…

Drama Queen and Cass have been badgering hubs and me to bring them to the 2018 Big Bad Wolf (BBW) book sale since the sale started on 7 December. BBW is the world’s biggest book sale, with a 75% – 95% discount off retail prices for all their books across all genres. But I was reluctant…
Harry Potter Fanatic
Cass turned into a Harry Potter enthusiast early this year. It all started when her classmate loaned her a Harry Potter book. She was instantly hooked to the thick novel. Since then, she was determined to get her hands on the entire Harry Potter series, which consists of 7 books! That would cost over RM300…
Voracious Reader
The other day, Cass and I were discussing an English quiz question that her English teacher in school gave the class. It was about how a frog died and the pupils had to read a given passage to answer. The answer from her teacher was: the frog drown. Cass was very agitated that her answer…

Surprise For The Girls
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…
Workbook With Grammatical Errors
I set some Math work for Alycia to do in one of the Math workbooks that I bought for her. Moments later, Alycia came to me, chortling away and pointed out the silly mistake that she spotted in one of the questions in the workbook : What a glaring language error the author has made. …

New Math Workbooks
These are the Math workbooks that I got the girls from MPH on Friday. Hubs said purchase of books can get rebate from Income Tax, so off we went to a books shopping spree and spent close to RM500. We received some cash vouchers from MPH and we shall shop for books again soon. The…
Bedtime Ritual
Alycia and Sherilyn reading on my bed. Note : Sherilyn busy counting away with her fingers. Sherilyn reading her favourite book. Alycia learning to read from her Leap Frog. On most nights before bed, I will either read to Alycia and Sherilyn or sometimes the gals prefer to ‘read’ on their own and Alycia will…
