Hi Insider & Mrs Wongtuition,


Thanks for sharing, is indeed useful guide for me. Judging from your posts, I guessed around $200 for meals should be more than sufficient. Another $100 for movies, stationeries, buying some dresses and other activities etc.... So all in $300 plus another MRT concession $43 should be about right.

Wow, which poly is that selling cheap and nice fruit juice huh ? haha.
I remembered I love the cheap and good chicken chop during my time long long ago, when police wear shorts . I used to get only $20 per week then and that include everything except bus stamp.

Nowadays, kids are so lucky....I remember when I was in Poly....
My parents only paid my tuition fees...

I had to work Part Time giving tuition and working in the factory during school holidays.

Had to save as much money for my own allowances...

But I learned the value of money during this time

Now I wonder whether I can use the same method for my teen... :idea:

But my teen very busy even during school holidays....

I am paying for mobile phone bills, but I make them pay if the bills exceed the basic subscription. Unless they need to buy some additional stuff that cost more, I'll pay for it. Otherwise the allowance I give includes buying stationeries, clothes, movies etc.

Yes yes, I had $20 per week then excluding bus stamp. And perhaps we were from same poly, I liked the chicken chop too, BS Canteen (Canteen 3). Big and lots of gravy.

I got $20 but have to pay my own tuition fees. Ya lor, kids are so fortunate nowadays. They need to do only 1 thing, i.e focus on their studies...unlike our time.
