Yes, restraining order NOT to walk into Popular.
I do enjoy walking around Popular...exciting to see new publications of assessment books. I must be nuts :stupid:
Someone working in Popular asked me if I give tuition then...told her I don't.

Ha! So I am not walking alone!......I am NOT the only one...I have company....

Yes, not retail therapy for myself anymore...but assessment books. :?:
I am usually at Popular IMM.

I do enjoy browsing assessment books at Popular too.. ..

But $300 is quite a lot leh.. ..Enuf for free delivery liao..

Good work books are each $5+ and most of them 7+. Andrew ER's maths worksheets that book alone is 15$. .(for p1) additional books like Idioms and phrasal verbs for primary level each 9$ word by word pic dictionary 17$.... the books are not cheap...

when I go to popular each time I spent abt 70-75$...when my daughter joins me the amt actually pumps up to 100+ cos she is a fan of stationary.... but for story books and reading, I go for the good 2nd hand deals...

Ha Ha. Nowadays, many Children and teenager addicted to computer game, some adult addicted to gambling and we mummies addicted to shop around the assessment books. Lucky this phenomenon will subside once our children grow up. :lol:

Hi plum-cake/Brenda,

We mummies always shop around for good deals...I know I've graduated to 'aunty' already

My addiction is shopping for assessment books...from what I think, it's going to be hard to shake off. Even when kids are in sec, we would still have to get for them.

I've bought idioms and phrasal verbs for son...not cheap.
Got 好词好句 bought during BookFest as well as CL compo...slightly cheaper.

Is the idioms come in 3 books (Blue colour) and phrasal verbs (Green colour) in 2 books ? If yes then I think we were buying the same stuff.

I also bought a Secondary School 250 cheng yu and try to coach my girl for the CL compo.

Forget about tuition...focus on own kid. It's hard to be strict with other kids but being strict and sticking to consistent revision is the only way to improve. I've been doing 1 chapter with my daughter every night...how else to finish the assessment books I bought ?

Wow.... your DD & you are motivated to do 1 chapter every night :salute:
I can't manage that for DD2 as I'm also coaching my P6 DD this year. Feel guilty sometimes as I'm not giving DD2 as much guidance as I did for DD1 when she was in P2. :oops:

I planned in such that their subjects don't clash...hubby teaches Maths & Science. For eg on nights when son does Eng, daughter will do Maths.
No choice lah.
