Now my evaluation of bags has narrowed down to Deuter vs SPI Active. Still can't decide which one tho'...

Buy both lah. Then the one that you discard, you sell to me at half-price, ok? :rahrah:

Hi mummies & daddies,

Never buy school shoes from world of sports. They will die within 6 months.

For my son, I’ve switched from Velcro to shoe laces type. It’s necessary for boys to know how to tie shoe laces, especially older ones. For girls, I get BATA…bubblegummers which is non canvas. Easy to wash. Most important is get those where soles can be taken out for washing.

U forgot to let us know where to get League shoes :spank:

I think we bought it at Royal Sporting House (or one of the other sports shop) in BBP. It's all white, non-cloth (looks like synthetic leather), so besides being hardy, it's also resilient to dirt.

For only $30+, we can't really ask for more.

Joyfulhands:

Nike shoes ah.. not cheap right?

Btw, any recommendation for school bag? I was looking at the Deuter ones, quite high end :scared:

Not sure about the price for Nike. But I think it's a special edition for sch children so it's not that expensive; maybe even less than $40 (just guessing).

For sch bag, ds got the SPI one. Supposedly an ergonomic bag but I actually find it quite heavy even when empty.

i got Power shoes from Bata for my sons. Can last at least 1 year. about $25.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Dyh, you sound too 'eat potato' liao.

I did look quite closely (with hubby with me, and his wife besides him)....he did look like chinese. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

what to do, i only studied elementary Chinese. when i communicate with my China colleagues in China in email, i write ENglish and they write CHinese but we can understand each other well. but sometimes hv to use Google translator for help becos their CHinese very chim.

For sch bag, I invested in a v sturdy and ergonomic bag from Crosscom.. The brand is Dr. McNeill. U can find Crosscom at Forum shopping mall. They sell fabulous table too.. I gave up on regular tables after I noticed DS attention span was so short due to uncomfortable sitting position n height of regular table that we decided to invest on the Crosscom table. It is my most impt pcs of furniture in my house! We loved that table.. Real Germany technology n quality. Can sure last till they finish college. If u buy the table, u get a lifetime membership for 10% off most stuff in store including the bags.. Child must be there to test the bag to see which size suitable. The bag can be super heavy but your child will always walk straight. If u interested in the bag n wan the discount, I see if I can help in anyway lah..

for school bag, i bought the Popular school bag. it has been able to last about 2 yrs now.
