      Since a few years back, I gave him a tub of coins and notes (think around $500 plus). He takes whatever he needs from there. So it should be a yearly allowance I am giving him which then works out to be around $10 per week.
      For the beginning part, wouldn't it be easier to monitor monthly (instead of yearly) ?

        Think I'll start with $20 for my girl. She snacks a lot so not sure if this amount is enough. Since will be there on Monday, will check out food price at canteen and adjust if needed.

        Re reading textbook & preparing for school --> Think i'm the worst, I have not gotten the uniform nor the books. Planning to buy all on Monday ... laziest mama šŸ™‚

              When you said \"this was the case\" means page by page or fast speed ?

              Students are expected to read first, then attend lessons.

                My boy is very sensible, no need to monitor. Just told him must make sure he eats enough good food, then can grow well and learn well. Better spend more on proper food than falls sick and visit doctor šŸ˜‰

                  I suspect, for my boy, might have to increase to around S$25 to S$30 a week bc he is a big eater.

                  My son tells me that eg. the Jap stall at NJC is like S$3+ per dish ... maybe I might need to revise amount. I think they stay until about 4pm except for Tues/Thurs, right?

                    Yes, eating proper meal is important.

                      But Jap food is always more expensive, right ?

                      So a bowl of noodle may be cheaper, I dunno.

                      I read in NJC website, they said JH1 & JH2 ends at 3.30pm.

                      Dean Christopher said Tue & Thur ends at 2.00 pm

                        But on Monday they end at 4+pm? Aiyoh, my that boy loves Jap food. He always ordered that in school last time (can SMS to order you know! haha! then the stall would pack for the boy to pick up at lunchtime).
