All along, during this period, our schoolhouse will call up a vendor who will come in his van full of tibits, fun items etc etc to the school for the children to have an experience of using $$$ to make purchase, to calculate the total/change etc etc.
This year the uncle couldn’t make it so with the intention of not wanting to disappoint the children, Cher Lim decided to create her own - Incredible Minimart.
It was quite a last minute decision thus Cher Lim only had little time to prepare. Just a day before, Cher Lim stayed behind to get stuffs printed before going to the supermarket to carefully select the items with some “standard”.
That morning, Cher Lim took a cab (as it was too early for the first bus) and carried all the items and reached school before 7am to get everything ready.
Though it was rush, though it was tiring, though it caused a hole in my pocket (haha!) BUT it was all worth it when Cher Lim see…

Informed the children to ask their parents to give them $2 on Tues for the minimart fun on Fri. And since Wed, Child J kept coming to me “Cher Lim, I can’t wait for Friday to come!” or “Cher Lim, how I wish today is Friday then I can buy things!”
