Last year, I wrote this post on What To Prepare For Standard One<\/a>. This year, I have one to prepare myself, as Zaria will be in Standard One next year.<\/p>\n

Using the experience I have with Zara, this is what I’d prepare for Zaria.<\/p>\n

3 Sets Of School Uniforms.<\/strong>
\nI preferred Kamdar<\/a>‘s uniform, as it’s cheap, and the colour is quite durable. However, this year, they started not selling uniforms in their branches (that’s located IOI Mall<\/a>, Mid Valley Mega Mall<\/a>) but only sold in their Jalan TAR shop.<\/p>\n

So I bought Kiko<\/a> instead, 3 sets for each of them. Why Kiko? And not Changgih? Changgih is slightly cheaper, but when I lifted up the fabric and looked through it against light, I saw that the cloth was not weaved evenly, i.e. some of the weaving was very close together, some part of the fabric the weaving was farther apart.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Kiko has smaller size that fits Zaria.<\/p>\n

As for the white blouse, we’d tried a couple of brand, and find Kiko brand has a nicer fit.<\/p>\n

2 Pairs Of School Shoes to interchange.<\/strong>
\nLike Zara, I only bought 2 pairs of shoes for Zaria to interchange. Their feet grow very fast, and the shoes get worn very quickly as well. A pair would probably last a couple of months before I need to change again.<\/p>\n

We went for Bata, just because we grew up wearing Bata too.
\n\"Bata<\/p>\n

Under Protection Or Under Layer<\/strong>
\nAs mentioned in my previous post, the girls will be wearing under protection<\/a> under their pinafore. So we bought cheap tights from FOS, which we’ll alter and shorten so that they can wear as ‘under protection’.<\/p>\n

\"Tights
\nUnrelated to going back to school, we stock up on white panties, which Parkson sells as part of the Going Back To School promo (RM8.90 for 3). I don’t know about you, but I have problem finding reasonably priced white panties for children their age. <\/p>\n

Water bottle, Food Container<\/strong>
\nZaria is more absent minded than Zara, so we’re not getting any new ones, but she’ll be using the ones she used in kindergarten.<\/p>\n

Stationary<\/strong>
\nWe’d already bought her a set of colour pencils, new sharpener, 2B pencils (mechanical pencil I find is not suitable for Standard One), pencil case, colour pencil case (bought pouches with zips).<\/p>\n

School Bag.<\/strong>
\nNow what is pending is her school bag. We’ll be getting her a SWAN trolley school bag just like Zara’s (which Zara will be using for another year).<\/p>\n
