Speaking of Chinese, my son did have a composition last week. Topic was 我最喜欢的老师. He couldn't get it done...no pic :?:

Chinese is much tougher at sec 1...last week CL spelling + dictation. This week just spelling but having mental block now as he just can't remember.

Until now, I hv not bought my DS a handphone but I know he longs for one.


His sch allow students to bring hp but not use them during lessons. He says tilll today, he still haven't seen a public phone in sch so one time he used his friend's hp to call me during recess.

Should I get him one? A prepaid card or plan?

Do your children bring hp to school?

Thanks to all who have replied to my above query.

Guess I will get him a pre-paid card without mobile data. Noticed his classmates are on whatapps even during lessons! How do I know? He uses my phone at home to group chat with classmates but sometimes while he's in sch, I have messages coming in! Like that how to focus?

Even pre-paid card can surf internet, but the cost will be prohibitive if you accidentally log into it. Even some pre-paid card provides like 200MB of free internet.

As I have mentioned, to prevent accidental internet connection or stop your son from logging into the internet, call the service provider to disable your 3G function.

Hmm...how on earth did they get to turn on their phones during lesson time? I agree, how to focus like that if they are busy doing the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Haha, I have one brand new but old model; not touch screen. My son said to me 'No way! I'll just do without one then.' Seems like many of his classmates have the latest phones, so I think he is kind of paiseh if seen holding a 'grandfather' phone :oops:

Yeah.....My DS told me last week when he and a group of classmates were outside school for a project, he exclaimed that almost ALL of them have either iPhones (although not everyone has the latest model) or Galaxy SIII phones.

I told him don't need to envy as his current phone (Sony Xperia Neo L) is good enough for his needs.
