I was so excited to read his K2 teacher;s note asking us to prepare a pencil case with 2 pencils, an eraser and a ruler. To teach them responsibility, teacher wrote. I quickly took out the stash of stationery and pencil cases I've kept for so long. They were all gifted.

| I was really excited to let him choose |
 |
| What he chose. We had to label them too. |
At the back of my mind, I was prepared to replenish stationery along the way.
Never would I have thought.. he would lost the whole pencil case along the stationery. My son is really "powerful".
He came clean on how he lose it. Actually, he didn't really know for sure. He just didn't keep the pencil case in his bag before leaving the school.
As a result, I asked him to think of what we should do. He couldn't think. So I hastily told him he has to be punished. And I wouldn't give him a new one until he earn $1 from me to get a replacement.
So I told him he'll use plastic bag and old stationery the next day. And he has to think of how he want to earn $1 from me. He nodded.

| I was really proud that he didn't complain and accepted them as is. |
Just a moment after that, he presented this beautiful heart and said it was for me. So sweet...
He couldn't think of a way to earn $1 from me. So I decided that he should help me in the kitchen.
He had to weigh 50pcs X 7g of pineapple paste for my pineapple tarts.
 |
| Weighing so carefully. Find that this task is really good to teach Math and patience too! |
 |
| Proudly presenting the hard work - 50pcs for $1 (his 1st job ever!) |
The real story:
To cut long story short, actually, he was too excited getting the table leader tag that he forgot to keep his pencil case. And he was chatting excitedly to a friend. Ah Nah and him made a phone call me to right away to announce the good news (ya, which is he is the table leader now), and thus, he lost the pencil case.

| Proud daddy nonetheless (for a week if there's no misconduct) |
