What Can You Do With RM1.50??

I went to both my sons' schools today since it's the first day of school and I have to settle the usual school fees and stuff. As usual the primary school was packed with parents but this year it was less chaotic.

My younger boy is in year 4 now. My little baby is 10 years old already, how time flies!! When I was at his school this morning to pay his fees, I waved at him but he didn't even wave back. Ciss!! He's always shy to acknowledge me whenever he's with his friends... grrrr... Well, I suppose he doesn't want to be seen as a mommy's boy or something.

But I was not prepared for what was about to happen next. When it came to my turn, I couldn't believe it when the class teacher asked for RM1.50 only!! I was expecting it to be around RM100 like last year. Imagine my surprise and happiness :D :D Having to pay only RM1.50 was heaven sent! Next was my eldest son's school which was just beside the primary school. It was even better coz I didn't have to pay a single cent over there!

At least now I don't have to take any Payday Loans. You know the kind, one of those personal cash advance solutions where you can obtain a quick, secure loan from places like Personalcashadvance.com. Signing up and getting qualified is so easy that you probably don't even need any documentation at all.

All that aside, the day turned out to be an even greater one when I received Emila's lovely knitted handphone cozy today. I won her Christmas giveaway contest last December and it is such a joy to add another of Emila's great handiwork (in addition to the apron) in my collection :) Thank you so much Emila!

Now if only everyday can be like this, then 2009 won't be such a bad year after all :D

  1. I agree with you sis, nowadays you can't get anything for RM1.50 but to pay this amount as a school fee is really - amazing! I wish it would be that cheap here too to pay for school fees!

    That is one neat looking handphone cover! Well done Emila!

  11. Wowww... how I wish!! Ala, Buddy pun pigi kindie so expensive. RM300. Semua pun dalam lingkungan gitu. Tapi apa boleh buat because it's the only one close to home where I can just walk to send him since my hubby kerja shift. Kalau mau bayar fees and bas sekolah.. nah, botak lah si mommy ni. So if I open up more blogs, paham2 lah ya. LOL!

    Congrats on winning Emila's giveaway!! So cute lah her stuff. :)

  21. so cheap, rm1.50.. hopefully they cancel the plan to collect the fee on june..

    nice, glad u win the handphone cosy..

    ReplyDelete
  22. that rm1.50 is i guess to pay for insurance takaful kan? cos as far as i know, school fees memang belum ada instruct letters utk kena collect sebab kunun2 free kan tu. yg tu 1.50 tu have to collect lah pasal mo cover insurance students for one year.

    tapi kalu mcm ni saja school fess until forever, bagus juga lah. hehehe

  23. Spiff ~ Yeah, it sure helps especially after the festivities and CNY is around the corner. Lucky I don't have to give anyone angpows! :D

    Antique huh? Any takers?? LOL!

    Diya ~ I hope so too... that would be great kan. Thanks, I just love the HP cozy!! :D

    Carol ~ Yup, bayar utk insuran takaful. Sia ingat lagi zaman sia skolah dulu, kana bayar RM24 seja for one year. Skarang macam2 mo kana bayar... nasib baik anak 2 seja, kesian yang ada ramai anak kan.
