Hi, I need to know the bus to NUSHS ... I stay in bukit panjang ... Any such buses from bt panjang to NUSHS ? Mostly likely going there ....

Made up your mind to accept the CO ?
You can call up the school office and they will probably give you the contact no of the school bus operator.

On registration day the school bus uncles will all be at the schools offering their services. For sec schools, they usually offer only one trip to school becoz dismissal time is too unpredictable.[/quote]Hi, this is papaya99's DM. Thanks a lot for yr info. DS got CO from NUSHS, WL from HCI. Can't decide whether shld let DS follow his heart to go NUSHS or follow the crowd to HCI. We heard from his seniors that HCI students hv to study very hard, very competitive, dun know good for him or not.

[quote="Mum of 3"] The adaptation Qn on penguin (black colour / in a group) is also not covered in the guide books.



As if! Science Interactions textbook, pg 59, there is a graphic of a polar bear. There is a mention of colour combination of the black skin used by the bears to absorb heat and keep warm. :pokeeye:mSame concept

Congrats.
Tough choice.
Both have their merits.
Still have around 2 weeks to think it over.

[quote=\"Tinkerbelle\"]Hi Brenda,

Will you be planning a short getaway too?

Hi Tinkerbelle,

May be.

Later will go and look around for some short trip during the PSLE marking day.

Hi Brenda,
That sounds nice. Found anywhere interesting? :imanisland:

The PSLE marking days are a good time to go...keke...won't be too crowded as most kids will be preparing for their SA2 so won't be going on holidays during that period.... [/quote] :imanisland: Haven't visit this for so long. Hello Tinklebelle, if no need to prepare younger kids for SA2, those marking period is really a good time for getaway , too bad I can't

Sigh.

Now having problem to motivate DS2 to study instead of watching TV.
His P4 SA2 HCL is tomorrow !!!
Compared to DS1 who is thoroughly enjoying himself now, the younger one is more rebellious.
DS1 is playful and may not take his studies too seriously at times.
BUT definitely not as rebellious as his brother who can defiantly refuse to study anymore just prior to an exam.

can understand how hard it is for the 2nd one to concentrate when the first one had finished exams and is enjoying himself. I'm experiencing the exact same thing - my 2nd child (dd) is having her 1st paper - english - tmr. But thank God my ds (just finished psle) is quite accomodating and refrained from watching tv coz of his sister. She is quite easily distracted.

Maybe u can motivate him to study by promising him something he likes if he does well. I know for a fact some parents don't agree to this coz it means like 'bribing' the child. but so far it works for me.

Has anyone ever come across a composition topic on ‘Fire’ for Chinese, I mean. Been trying to scout around for phrases to describe fire scenes in Chinese but to no avail. How to say ‘Thick, black fluffy columns of smoke billowed out of the windows’. And ‘Toxic fumes choked my lungs’ in Chinese?
