FollowToday marks the beginning of the SPM written papers, and what a way to kick-start the exam season — with Bahasa Malaysia, the must-pass subject that decides the fate of the entire exam. No matter how many As you score in the other papers, BM (and Sejarah on Wednesday!) are the gatekeepers. No pressure, right?
For Cass, it has been a long, tiring first day. She will be in school until 5pm, which makes the day feel even longer. But she started her morning strong and steady. She woke up at 5:30am and reheated the Fish Bowl poke bowl (with herby chicken breast) that her grandmother bought from The Gardens Mall yesterday. She finished the whole thing — a nutritious, energy-packed breakfast to fuel her through the BM marathon. And because she’s Cass, dessert is always a must: Greek yoghurt paired with a slice of blueberry swiss roll. A full, satisfying breakfast that I’m sure will keep her going until evening.
Tomorrow will be the English paper, followed by the much-dreaded Sejarah on Wednesday — another compulsory pass subject. Once these two “big bosses” are out of the way, things will feel a lot lighter.
One day ticked off. Almost one more month to go.
Step by step, paper by paper — she’s doing it. And I couldn’t be prouder. This girl skipped UPSR (Primary 6 national exam) and PT3 (Form 3 national exam) because these two exams were abolished during the Covid lockdowns, and now she’s heading straight to SPM!

Good Luck to Cass! Is it compulsory to take Chinese literature for SPM in KCHS? Im asking because my youngest daughter is studying there. She just completed JR1.
Hi Mummy Gwen
According to Cass, it’s not compulsory for the actual SPM. But for Trials, it is compulsory 🙂
