Back-to-school shopping

WITH barely a week before schools reopen on Jan 4, many parents are taking time off from work to help their children shop for back-to-school items.

Among them were Annie Tan, 47, who was seen accompanying her two daughters, Lee Xin Jie, 14, and Xin Yee, nine, who are entering Form 3 and Year 4 respectively when the new term starts.
