white turn \"off white\" , not grey :?ngl2010:
Thank you for the suggestion. We actually already got used to seeing his shirt and pants not the same white (grey).
:lol: elder boy has some school dry fit T that are no longer pure white. Told me not to bother trying to whiten them as the old look \"enhances his image of being a senior\" :rotflmao:
Ah boy's school uniform, esp the long pants, have coloured streaks here and there (kena while painting banners during the preparations of school funfairs). I dun bother replacing these as the pants are not exactly cheap and there is no guarantee he wont stain them with permanent inks again. For the recent oral presentation of Project Work (exam), I reminded him to wear the most presentable looking set of school uniform for the event. Luckily there is a set of top and bottom that were stain free :rotflmao:
To ensure even greying of pure white school uniform top and bottom, I would suggest assigning pairs (top and bottom) as set 1, set 2, etc, and washing/sunning them as a pair too so that the top and bottom \"age\" together :lol:
Now i read so much on soda bicarbonate as a powerful cleaning - i also become a bit\" worried\" the use use baking soda
in bakes, how it will react in our intestines & stomach - those with acid reflux , do look out - my mama also cannot take too much bakes or some outside meat if the hawker use baking soda
Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO₃. It is a salt composed of a sodium cation and a bicarbonate anion. Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline, but often appears as a fine powder. Wikipedia
Formula: NaHCO3 -

according to dd, she is revising..these 2 days, I gave her 2 leftover Math papers from SA2..need do correction then can get correct ans. told me her bad are dont read qn properly, transfer wrong figure half way through the workings and one more I cant remember.. so told her must keep doing la. She/I find language is the most worrying one. The rest think can improve through more doing/reading but languagelee_yl:
:spank:
How’s your PSLE prep getting on?
The month of November is coming to an end soon hor.
What is “...according to DD, she is revising”? :slapshead: :spank:
In the run up to PSLE, I suggest you better sit next to her lah. When school reopens, very fast it will be PSLE already.

The headache of white uniforms. Schools really should not have white unis, especially white bottoms when you expect the students to be sitting on the floor.

If the aptitude and attitude are meant for IP then should go ... but dun u all think nowadays to go into IP can be \"mould\" n \"train\" so long $$$$ & Time are also not an issue + some hardwork fr kid/parents - no longer a system for the geppers. Thiank far ahead too - Lastly, what happen after A level - can go into \"alright\" university n get into a \"alright\" course or not ... if not confident, start saving to prep sending overseas to get a ang mo degree back ( ang mo like ang mo degree -based on my exp n observations working in Aust MNC b4)

Absolutely nothing wrong with O level track. -
starlight1968sg:
erm ... , there are 2 groups of parents out hereMP
Absolutely nothing wrong with O level track.
one group .... do Not look down on the O-level students
another group .... either the parents, or their children themselves, kind of, or in a way, to some extent, do look down on students taking O-level, somewhat.
Their mentality is, \"if you are good, should go to a pure IP school. What for, go to one, that offer emergency O-level track, on standby ? \".
Advice to this 2nd group of parents (P6xers or Secondary school students) is, don't look down on O-level students, too soon.
Even though your child may be currently studying or going to study inside a pure IP school ... but the road 6 years ahead in IP is uncertain, still very far, very long ahead. Just don't end up as a casualty yourself, in such a pure IP school.
There is a Chinese reminder, \"He who laugh first ... laugh last\" -
Go O level route will get looked down upon? Really? Aiyoh, my poor kids.
No wonder kids still end up crying when their PSLE scores are, in my opinion, awesome. All because they cannot make it into an IP school?
I felt so heartbroken when I saw one of my ex-student looking so despondent after getting his results. I was there with my sis to collect nephew’s results. He scored pretty well. Just a couple of points shy of the cut off of the school that he was aiming for. It did not help that his parents were looking all solemn and disappointed as well. And the only one consoling the boy was his little brother. -
starlight1968sg:
no offence to anyone, I agree with starlight regarding O level track.MP
Absolutely nothing wrong with O level track.
having an o level cert is safe because 6 years is a long time and IP syllabus is not for all kids. -
All hv diff learning paths and abilities, and just choose the one you think is the most suitable for you ie your kid.
If O level is bad, MOE will abolish it.
We are all here to learn from one another. -
IP track is not for all kids. 6 years is a very long time and there are many who can’t make it in Year 2 or Year 3.
burning the candle both sides will cause kids to burn out.
