        vlim, you can always take your DS on a Christmas shopping spree at Kinokuniya. :evil: :evil:
        And watch your :moneyflies: :moneyflies:

        Or he can pay using his own money since he is receiving so much from the govt this year.
        $400 + $150 + $2400, right? πŸ˜‚

        DD was just hinting to us yesterday about the need to go there, suggesting we can do our Christmas shopping at Taka while she shops at Kino. πŸ˜‚

            Wah, spend future $?! :evil: $2400 is to defray expensive IP school fees. I hope government will raise this amount. Nett still have to pay after scholarship every month for those IPs which fees are above $200 per month. Also, misc fees not covered. I heard earlier IP government EESIS cover full fees then the IPs go raise fees, so government put a cap to scholarship :stompfeet:

                Ya lor. In fact, I don't mind if the top IPs charge this type of fees and reduce the class size to 20-25 per class. But the two top girls' IPs have more than 30 per class leh!! :slapshead: :mad:

                    Been to Titianic exhibition at art n science museum. Wld like to share that it’s really interesting. There are displays of real items found on Titanic - not just the parts of the ship - but the personal items of the fateful passengers - shoes, combs, toothbrush, cracked mirrors, shoes, wallet and cash (notes and coins). Even personal letters. Saw the first class, 2nd class and 3rd class cabins.


                    My ds immersed himself in reading the stories they put up on the walls. These are personal accounts of some of the 700 plus survivors and also stories of how they family members were separated. And the actual account of how the ship sank. I read of one mother whose toddler was ripped of her ams and thrown into a lifeboat and the mother was forced into another boat. I can imagine the anxiety the mother must have felt and the toddler too.

                    Ds commented it was sad to read of couples where the wife’s name is found on the survivor list but the husband’s name is one of the dead ones. (Women and children were evacuated before the men). We also read of how a man was kidnapped before boarding (hence was saved from the tragedy) while his friend went onboard died.

                    Upon entrance, we were each given a boarding pass with the name of the actual passenger printed on it. Inside the exhibition, we get to find out whether ours survived or died.

                    Thing I like most : the part of the exhibition with the glass flooring, beneath which are broken plates and parts of the wreckage embedded in the sand - makes u feel like u r there at the scenen.

                    Thing I dislike : I find the lighting too dim - very depressing - even the music is sad too. I guess it kind of bring out the embience of the fateful day.

                    ok, I shall say no more - go and grab tickets to visit the Titanic now!
