Thanks all for sharing the traffic situation. Guess I will try the U-turn and see how. It is difficult for me to come by the opp direction.


BTW, can I check something. I remember we were told that parents are allowed in the school in the 1st two days. May I know if there is anything planned for us on the 2nd day? If not, then we may not want to go. I only remember there will be programmes for the parents on the 1st day.

Oh, I intend to join Braddell road from Marymount Rd, then go straight till U-turn. That's quickest and most direct way. Used to drive that route daily to go to Tampines and the traffic moves.

But for first 2 days, we intend to take the MRT from Marymount. I remember they said there will be parenting talks for us while the kids attend their classes. Maybe you can just ask your wife to go on the second day. My dh is also going back to work on the 2nd day.

i prefer to let my kids bring those pencil case with individual elastic loops for the pencils so that when the pencil case drops off the table, the things wont scatter around

I bought the box type of pencil case. He chose it himself. I remember I used to use those pencil boxes to shield my tingxie answers from my neighbours. Super kiasu... :lol:

[smurf]

You mean the hard case? Ds also chose that kind. Just bot one for him.haha. I told him that the soft kind is much roomy, but he just for the hard case one.

[cherrygal]

Aiyah, no need to cry lah... just let him choose. They are the ones who have to use them daily.

[smurf]

That's rite, he is using it, gotta choose something he wants. :lol:

Asked my colleague this morning (her son in P6 next year). First day of school no need to wear tie.

[cherrygal]

Thanks Namie. Only need to wear tie on Mondays.


Need to start washing his uniform next week. Gotta pack too…

Guess all of us have to start waking up earlier to prepare breakfast too…

So you are going by Braddell Rd. Guess I will try that route too. Any idea where can we park beside Serangoon Central? Anywhere near where we can just walk? I don't mind walking a few hundred metres.

Thanks for reminding. Have been busy buying his stuff and we have forgotten about the uniform! Haha... Anyway, waking up early is not a problem for me but having to get my son up at this hour is going to be a struggle. I can forsee myself having to drag him out of his bed every morning.

Haha - Yah. I actually got 4 hardbox type and 4 zip 'case' type - all different designs all (which he had used in school previously)

So i just let him choose which is the final one he will bring to school - but i did 'highly recommended' the zip type cos can throw everything him!!
