Book description
To succeed in life, you must top your class, get Band One for school tests, and obtain four A stars for the PSLE. Or at least, that is the world according to Ling, a typical Singaporean mum who has made it her goal in life to help her children succeed in school. Ling's older daughter, April, has all the makings of a model student and looks set to ace the Primary Six national exams. In the meantime, Ling's younger son, Noah, is free-spirited and more interested in canteen food than what goes on in class.This (almost) kiasu mum records her journey diary-style, describing hilarious episodes involving crazy worksheets, assessment book overload and jittery parent-teacher meetings. Ling's humorous take on surviving Singapore schools will have you laughing and give you serious food for thought, all at the same time!© 2013 by Monica Lim. Published in paper format in Singapore by Epigram Books, recorded by Storyside 2019.

CarPlay compatibility takes my driving experience to a whole new level. Audiobooks on the road have never been better. Navigating through chapters has never been easier. It's a user-friendly delight. I love the ability to share my progress with friends. It’s a fun feature. ListenBook is the best audiobook player I’ve ever used.

Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre.
