I am quite headache for the school bag also. My friend told me that better to wait when Popular got sale, She got a “promotion” bag at $19.90 and the original price was $60+. But for sure, don buy the trolley type. Pls let me know if got any “lubang”. Anyway, yesterday I bought a pair of white shoes for him, it only cost $9.00 and the original price was $22.90 from Bata. I think really worth it. However, my friend advise me not to buy second pair first as she said the school might has sell their own shoes with school logo. So I just wait & see, if really cannot use it just pass to other mothers lor.

For the P1 Orientation, is the parents allow going in with the kid?

If you're not too fussy, can get bags from Popular called Campro.

Most affordable since it cost half of the normal high end ergonomic
bags. Around 30 plus. Can use Popular membership for the member
discount. May be a bit big and bulky looking for smaller built
children.

Another higher end but not so bulky that i saw at BUGIS BHG was
the Ergo which was around 80 plus. Can fit all the books nicely cos
max book size was A4 and i like this range cos it looks less bulky
especially on a small petite child like my DD2. Sufficient sponging
as with other Ergo bags.

There was also Hush Puppies also at BUGIS BHG, which has quite
good sponges and support on the spinal area & more the strap areas.
Not that bulky but looks a little longer than the usual Ergo bags.

For schools that cater floor level for P1, you may ask whether the
school allows trolley bags. Cos depending on different sch
policies, some may allow while others may totally ban trolley bags.

For parents who just anything goes, then any bag will do. Plus
nowadays the children's books (some of them) can be kept in
school when there aren't any work to do or any revision to be
done at home.

Hope this gives you a headstart.

Hi Buds & Anna,


I saw tat Campro bag from Popular not too long ago too
& thot it should be good enuff for my kiddo since he is
not that big nor small and I like it tat its pretty compact.
And thot that those ergonomics bag quite ex but luckily
now the price has dropped so still quite 'affordable'....
Thanks for yr explanation Buds....

Anna, u'v bought shoes already??? i hv not & wonder if
my kiddo's feet will still grow these couple of months still

U know, when I opened the letterbox & saw the letter frm DLS
& read the contents; i finally then heaved a sigh of relief tat
all is really over for us for the P1 registration battle.....
then sighed again coz P1 academic battle will then start soon!!!

[buds]

No worries, guys. P1 academics very easy.

Go to ChiefKiasu's All About Preparing For
Primary One and also a few articles on
some guidelines of what is usually covered
in P1 curriclum so just what you need for
all the what-you-need-to-know-stuffs..

I passby BATA and saw the promotion then just bought it lor, no matter how still need to buy mah. If can get it cheap, why not?


Have you decided to send your boy to childcare centre or taking care by your maid? i am now headache about the transportation, still have not figure out how to arrange. Anyway, for sure have to put him at before school care at Limbang Centre. I heard that the teacher is quite good, she will make sure the kids finish all the home work and spelling before going to schools.

[baby2momma]

For me, most likely taken care by maid coz my boy has been

under the care of my maid all along…

Wat type of show u buy for yr son?? shoe lace type or not??
my son is hopeless with shoe lace so think won’t get tat
for him…

[Anna Ng]

[buds]

the kinds with velcro straps.
