Packing dc's books n materials. Can form a height of 1m, I think. Disregarding the outcome of psle, we should give them a pat at the back. Such tough life for a 12 yo.

My dh says dd reads even more books and does even more assessments than he has ever done in his lifetime, man.
I still rem my PSLE was a non event for me. We used to pick sec sch based on their uniform haha. That time St Nick's, MGS, SCGS, ACS, SJI, Cat High were the most popular schools. Some of my top performing frens chose Marymount, St Marg, TKGS. It was actually very ez to get into Raffles if you are the top 20%. The range was quite big but it's just Raffles now.

Really? Top 20% could get into Raffles? Alamak! I chose the wrong uniform!

The rest too far from my place then. I pick schools based on proximity oso. My mum says cannot take sch bus in sec sch. I tot it was quite sian to wake up so early and catch a bus to sch

There are many new (creative) questions in this Science paper. Do you think MOE is now placing less emphasis on answering technique but more focus on application of Science concept?


If MOE is doing that, I applaud them. They are moving into the right direction :rahrah:

Dd is playing chess with my 6 yo and she is losing big time. Ok to be fair, she hates chess. Now launchg on Blokus. I feel as if 4 giant boulders have been lifted off her.
