12 Things That Happened in Kemahiran Hidup That All Malaysians Can Relate To

In school, there are a lot of different subjects that we suffer through but the one that most of us would remember for being the biggest pain (and also quite some fun) is Kemahiran Hidup. Ah yes, good old KH.

Covering topics like woodwork and electronics, most of us are thrilled to be doing something more hands on instead of the usual boring classes. So, I’m sure here are a few things that all of you that has gone through Kemahiran Hidup can relate to…

7. Being bored out of your wits during the theory part

Diod? LED? Batteries and more? Plus we have to know their symbols?! Have mercy on us please!
