New School Year coming up

Semalam baru habis shopping for my 2 sons for the new school year. Alhamdulillah got almost everything.

Discovered a trick to go shopping efficiently ….. DON’T BRING THE KIDS. Get all measurement (macam tailor) dengan tali tape. Bawak measurement and pergi kedai. Sampai kat sana peduli dengan stares from other customers and start measuring away. And kalau measure seluar jangan lupa measure cawat… nanti gelebeh ;-)

Boleh selesai shopping baju tak payah try in 30 mins. Beg we choose … older boys senang tak nak gambar cartoon. Cool looking ones will do. Yang susah kalau girls nak baru masuk sekolah. My wife pointed out ada satu girl tu sampai 1 jam kot dok select beg ada gambar Barbie, Princess Disney yang mana ntah …  

Books … just get everything on the list at the school’s books store (other than reference books that you might already have anyway). Yang lain tu safe bet just get from the school’s books store. Sebab nak cari tempat lain pengsan. Again another tip, jangan beli masa dekat awal kedai buku sekolah buka. Ada can stok tak sampai. So wait 1-2 weeks after the date yang depa kata boleh start beli buku

So managed to do everything in one day. An achievement for us … now … balut buku.

BTW .. the little girl nak baju sekolah .. tough to tell a 2 year old she can't go to school yet. So bagi satu beg and isi dengan pencil box (and toy handphone , compact powder etc) … ;-)
