we did it the old school way…think i saw ready made one at Popular, not sure about the size though…I don’t know how to get rid of the sharp edges too…

I’m also thinking of getting the headphones from the school as there are too many at other places and not sure which is the right one…

I went to the BPP Popular yesterday. They had the Maths books, but not the last 2 books (which are assessment books) and the Music and Civics books. The rates are the same as that on the book list - only thing they will give a 5% discount on the text books and 10% discount on the assessment books. Hubby is telling me to buy everything in the school itself, let me see what I will do. Since I can't buy the MT books here, I'll have an incomplete set till that is done.


See you on Friday....

if it wasn't for the diners club promo, i woudn't buy at popular too...the savings of 5% doesn't seem so attractive afterall....

When you say old school, do you mean brown paper and plastic?


Yeah, I think, I'll just buy all the books at the school on Friday! Got to get ready to shell out big $$$. Got to buy 2 sets of everything!!!

no brown paper just the plastic wrap....

its all $$$...that's why it helps to have some savings here and there.....

Thanks! And what about the names on the books? Do we need to put any labels on them?


I know, I have made arrangements - also will get the 13th month bonus in dec - can be used from now on for these expenses....

Hi all, just ordered the books online from Pacific website. Given an OrderID and was told to pass it to the bookshop assistant on Fri and they will know what to do, so can skip the queue :lol:

oh wow that's great!! did you have to omit some stuff? yesterday when i try it out, they add in the folder for Tamil Language to my cart....

I also ordered and got a Order ID. When you choose the MT, you need to choose the right one, like I chose others. Also I didn't choose the thumb drive, just the other stuff...
