Hey everyone,


You can buy the ink refill for printing. it cost me only $28.00 for black and the three primary colours. I have refilled my canon/HP inkjet countless times and they are still running on the introductory cartridges. I print whatever I want nowadays. Oh. I also refilled my samsung scx4300 laser printer toner too! Haha. My tuition centre literally survives on refill ink and toner. I NEVER once bought cartridges or toner. My HP inkjet is model 1000 and cost me only $39.00 to buy with introductory cartridges. That printer prints an average of 200 sheets a day. LOL. Super low cost and cheapo lah. Now you know why I never charge my students materials fees.

I bought the refill from sim lim square level 5 in a shop called sing ink. Damn professional. Remember bring your cartridge down so that they can show you how to do them at home yourself.

Hope that helps to whoever who want to print full colour anytime they want without cost considerations.

Regards,
Peter!!

We bought a bw samsung printer last year. The ink is long lasting. So far still using the same free cartridge. We have finished up the whole bundle of paper, 1000pages? So quite happy. Planning to buy an additional cartridge in the up coming IT show.

But in sec school DS says will need to print color pics as well. But fortunately his school has printing facility $1 for 1 color printout. So decided to leet him do color printing in school and bw at home.

serious? so long lasting? How much did u pay for the samsung printer? Colour or b/w?

Yes, I too am surprised, after the regular ink drying up of the previous inkjet printer.
It is a laser printer. Monochrome(b/w), prints, copies, scans. $168. Bought it at the IT show last year.
I guess the color toner for the laser printer is more expensive. Anyway mostly we need b/w printing so went for the b/w one. And will use the school library to take color printout as and when needed.

Thanks for the info. I think with inkjet printer if you use regularly there is no prob. It is only when you use sparingly that the ink dries up.

Hi, time flies and 1st term holiday (March) will be one month later.


Notice in Secondary one DD hardly has homework for CL and most of the homework is Math and Science.

There is totally no 习字 and 听写!

Think CA1 will be coming soon as DD has done some of her school past year papers for some subject.

Hi Brenda

How's the Chinese paper format like? ds had their comprehension test from news paper article. The questions based on the article include a cloze passage,true or false and open ended questions. Wonder if it's the same for your dd and the rest?

[Belle2011]

There is no 习字.

Besides math and science hw, dd has geo and history ws.
She is involved in public speaking; topics include "should white-collar crimes deserve a heavier penalty (something like that) ?" which is quite interesting.

Hi Verysuperkiasu,

Sorry for the late reply.

I'm not sure what is the format for their Chinese Paper as I only saw one 测验 worksheet couple of weeks ago.

The test is 70 marks with:

1) 填写字词
2) 综合填空
3) 阅读理解一
4) 阅读理解二

I am also not sure will there be a CA1 for CL Exam as next week will be the last week of term 1 and seems that next week only left with Geography test.

Perhaps in Secondary school the teacher expects them to learn by themselves instead of given the 习字.

The topics that your DD involved is really interesting and I'm sure she will gain a lot of knowledge. :boogie:

Xizi is actually kind of a waste of time. I don’t like it. XD I mean, why spend so much time copying something over and over and over and over again

[Ichigokun]

Hmm... I have quite alot of Chinese hw. Math and science being less. History there's no homework and Geography there's quite alot
