Love My Fairy Tales

Welcome to my world of fairy tales...hahaha....just kidding. You know when you were growing up you have that favorite book that you love so much and you will always carry them around when you were a kid or even make your parents read them to you each and every time your going to bed? Fairy tales was my first encounter with the world of literature. My parents would buy me books like "the Little Mermaid", "Sleeping Beauty" and etc...etc...love them so much....the books were just simple English but hey... I was only a kid back then...I especially love the ones with pretty pictures on one side of the pages and the story on the other side. I keeps me interested in reading them...I was brought up with a good education by my parents. They will always find ways to keep my sisters and me interested in learning language either its Malay or English. I grew up in a circle of well educated people as far as I can tell. My father's friends and work colleagues always came over to our house and they would always converse in English with my father and as you might have guest it with my sisters and me.

They would always come with some gifts for us sisters. Board games, story books, candy, you name it....I especially love those old board games where there are bonus questions basically about our general knowledge on everything and anything. It kept me and my sisters on our toes of wanting to learn and knowing more about the world. From there it made me read more....the more I read the more I was satisfied I've become.

But to be honest, my early history with reading is not that much....yes , I mean.....I eventually learn how to read the newspaper and magazines that my parents read themselves but most of the time I was in front of the TV. I would watch cartoons and movies that help me a lot in brushing my communication skills. Other than that, I would watch "Sesame Street"....that was my favorite show to watch...and I still do watch the reruns now when I get the chance to. The show was fun yet educational....it not only teaches the alphabets, numbers, spelling....etc...etc...but it teaches moral values as well. I can still remember that my mum would wake us up in the morning so that we would not miss the show. In a way, I learn more about reading by watching "Sesame Street" then doing the actually reading itself. Funny right????? But that was how it all went down in my childhood years....

From there I eventually develop the passion for English and literature. I would ask my parents to buy those colorful story books so I could enjoy myself while learning....in primary schools I would enter English oriented events....either for school performance or spelling bee...but I was never good with spelling....up till now...I still suck in spelling....hahahaha....I just don't know why but I just do....strange right????? but that's the truth about little old me....

Even thought I learn more by watching TV, fairy tales is my first love when it comes to the English language....until now I do love them and never get sick or bored of it. It makes me feel like a kid again when I read them....stupid as it maybe but.....it helps calms me down when I'm stress.....just reading happy, beautiful and wonderful fairy tales....
