Chinese New Year Hamper Making

Dear Bosses and Mini Bosses,

CNY is round the corner, and as I mentioned in passing today in class, TKP will be contributing 1 hamper per class to a group of retirement homes.

Even though there won't be a hamper making competition this year, we will however be decorating the hamper to the best of our ability. This would be entirely on the students considering the teacher has zero artistic ability.

That said, before we decorate the hamper, I believe the old folks would better appreciate a poorly decorated hamper with contents as compared to a Rembrandt of a hamper that is totally empty. So here is a shopping list of what we can provide.

Please limit food contributions to the following items only (strictly no canned food allowed)

• Milo
• Horlicks
• Ovaltine
• Biscuits
• Oat
• Cereal

I understand that some would love to contribute everyday items like bird's nest, liquor, abalone or other assorted knick-knacks, but kindly refrain from doing so. These may be saved for Teacher's Day. :D (You know I'm jesting...)

Anyhoo, we'll get down to packing next Wednesday onwards (23rd January) which means we have a little more than a week to purchase the items. I trust the time should be sufficient. I will be purchasing 1 of each item on the list. Will let the students know how they will go about buying the stuff.

Watch this blog for updates!

Regards,
J
