Anyone happens to know where to get this book “阿婆的手”? It’s in the year 2 HMT booklist. I tried popular and kinokuniya and they all said it’s a very old book. All their branches no longer selling.

This is a 散文集 by 王德远. You can buy it directly from 铃子传媒 as they are the publisher. Can buy online through their website or go to their store at Toh Guan.

Available in school popular now. I bought it today.

Going overseas soon. Is it likely that bookshop has already stock up year One books and PE shirts/shorts? Are we allowed to come by to school to enquire? If we buy after Sec 1 Registration Day, is it advisable? Little concern if certain titles of books may run out or sizes of uniform might be limited. Is the PE shirt design for 2020 the same as this year? Thanks

I am really surprised that no triple science is being offered at JC level. I remember during my time (loooong ago) that triple science is a pre-requisite for entering medicine. I was from triple science so many of my classmates are Doctors now. So now medicine faculty accepts what kind of science combination? Bio + chem? No need physics anymore ar?

If I'm not mistaken, the compulsory subject for Medicine is chemistry with either physics or biology.

Memory is a little foggy now but I think we got the uniform before reporting day, and the books on reporting day itself. Reason being we didn't want to wait to queue up for the measurements. Books were pre-packed so the purchase was fast. Iirc, bookshop staff mentioned we could return those items we didn't want later on for refund.

There is no news that there's any change in the design of the PE attire.

Is your boy excited for his new school? If he's the extrovert type, he'll love the school in no time. If he's more inclined towards the quiet side, slowly he'll be nurtured to become more vocal.

The A level system requiring the contrasting subject was implemented quite a few years ago, and was to try to make students less \"narrow\". Whether it's worked or not, I can't say. To enter Medicine in local universities now, the prerequisites are Chem and one other science, not necessarily Bio. You can look on the universities' websites for details of prerequisites. One of my daughter's classmates didn't take Bio and is studying Medicine now.

Thank you all!
