thanks ljk.


i understand the boys have not received their class timetable yet. So lessons proper will not start this week?

anyway, anyone can advise if the boys need to attend the symposium with their parents next friday?

my son was told to copy his timetable down today, and was told that lessons will start proper on Wednesday.

The little rings for the buttons turn rusty quite easily. The school bookshop does not sell just the rings. Where can we buy the rings? Popular? Or is there any alternative which may make the daily buttoning easier? I don’t intend to sew the buttons on the shirts. TIA.

If brush the rings with clear nail polish, will the ring get sticked tge?

Maybe they sell those rings at either art and craft shops or the beach road hawker center where they sell army stuff. I think those rings are use in some uniforms.

If you remove the ring before washing the uniform it will not rust. DS worn the uniform for a year and the rings have not rust. If you want to buy spare rings, they are sold in Popular bookshop.

My ds's rings rusted and even left stain on his shirts although they were always removed before washing. Maybe the sweat??? Will buy some from Popular. Thanks.
