But what about the odd length calf-high white socks?

I grew up believing that one must get a new bag for the new school year, every year. Often wondered how could some kids carry the same old bags on the first day of school. Eeeeek! (Tengok, kecik-kecik dah pandai prejudis si gemok ni.) New shoes? That's given.

So yeah, since I'm going back to school in two weeks time I probably should re-visit the old routine. Nice.
