I wonder why it’s taking so long for sports and other CCAs to resume group activities. It’s been at least 1.5 months with no new cases of students being infected.

but why the urgency in CCA resumption?
It's going to be school holiday and then probably prep for exams and then the major exams...surely it's not worth risking.[/quote]

Not urgent urgent lah. Of course can wait. Just tough on an extroverted kid. With all the crowds in malls and eateries, plus tuition & enrichment centers all doing F2F already, I just wonder why schools are so slow to follow.

Get an ereader. Then can still borrow from NLB and have variety for her. Or can also buy if cannot wait for the latest and greatest releases. Borrowing is more economical also la. And can do from home, no need to go to the library.

[zac's mum]

Yes we know can, but it’s terrible on the eyes. I’d rather spend the money investing on the Kobo than later have to spend multiples of that amount correcting myopia problems for a lifetime…

Except that it can take the epub format, which is what NLB (and worldwide libraries) loan out in electronic format.

I also dont think using handphone/ tablets; agree not good for eyes.
