You know what’s the surprise with your kid going into Primary One? Suddenly, you’re swarmed with lots of forms to sign every week! If it’s not about a new policy, it’s about an upcoming activity and parents’ signature are required to acknowledge receiving such updates. I even have to sign for his weekly Chinese spelling! Maybe my memory has failed me but I certainly can’t recall these formalities during my time.
But these I remember! Selling donation tickets for the school! I remember asking my brothers to buy from me, and then getting my dad to pay for the rest. I mean, who could I have approached? As for my son, he’s even more clueless. All he did was to pass me the booklet and promptly expected me to put in the $10 note for him to return to his teacher.
So of course I had to buy up all the tickets! Luckily it’s only 10! My only gripe was that I had to complete my details on the booklet 10 times!
But never mind, perhaps I’ll have some luck with the prize money. Ten bucks for the hope of winning $30K is a fair betting amount anyway!
I hear ya. I cant’ wait for J to start school, so that my countless raffle tickets doubles. Sigh.

I have these same Catholic Welfare tickets. I have 2 booklets as i have 2 girls in the convent school. It would have been a good experience for them to sell the tickets to relatives during the CNY visits but I forgot to bring the tickets along so we ended up having to buy all them.
