Summer Holiday Chore Chart | Tween Edition
THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS – It’s every kid’s favourite time of the year. A time where they’re allowed to sleep late, sleep in, play the whole day, and sit in front of their screens.

Therefore, some normalcy is needed to prevent the forthcoming lazy days.

As for me, I speak English, Malay, Chinese (very basic), and of course German as I’m currently living in Austria.
