As per usual , I will update my books buying habit here so I can track my books. Its easier to see this online. Maybe I should seriously consider an excel spreadsheet. Eh malas la.  This time due to Covid, Big Bad Wolf Book Sale held their sale online instead. It was a bit of a disaster on the first few days tbh. The site was unstable with payment not going through and books list not updated appropriately. I am sure their IT Team was going through hellish week that week.  Anyway I manage to buy some books mostly for the kids and a bit for me on the third day of the sale. I also bought a few more books by the end of the week mostly on school exercises book because those were cheaps.  So below pics! The Paws Patrol for the littlest one, the dinos books are for the second and the shark is for the eldest. Buku latihan for the kids and extra-ish And mine... I had also realized trying to find last year posts that I didnt post my stash of last year. Huh,  no matter so I am ...

 Let me update to the uninterested how my violin playing coming along.  I try to record myself playing. It sounds bad. LOL. But I think its normal..  amateur with a cheap violin sounds like. Sometimes its good. Sometimes I wonder if I buy a violin worth thousands will it actually improve the sounds?

There's also a few teachers offering online classes nowadays in these time and I am tempted, but I don't hav...

 Just feel like sighing.  I had started another blog just for the point of reviewing because I feel this blog is too mushed up. Not sure whats gonna review. Probably more kdramas. I had been lagging on the kdrama review updated but more like I don't have energy of it.  But I had also started to learn French and Arabic in Duolingo. The former is because I always wanted to learn that. And Spanish too ( I will learn Spanish next). Arabic because I am frustrated by the text books bahasa arab I have to understand to help my kids with their homework. I meant I get why it is in Arabic, but wouldn't it make sense to also include translated jawi into it so it is not just gibberish to the uniniated? I tried google translate but even that doesn't help me much. I had also kinda 'reprimand' the teacher for just giving vague instructions and expecting students to turn in perfect homework. I HATE vague instructions. This is not about spoonfeeding. It is about a clear precise inst...
