Have similar concerns regarding scarlet fever but seems to be under control?


Already booked a trip to go in july with parents and son (20 months). Will be staying at Kowloon hotel.

think it boils down to what some others mentioned earlier … u letting your children to learn piano to pass exams/tests so that they will major and make a career in music next time? or for them to have a hobby that they can enjoy in their own free time? … my thoughts …

true … just feel as parents we should at least try to provide them some simple coverage till they are old enough to pay and decide on what they want

guess it really comes down to the parents/family … if they ‘love’ the kids so much that they totally dont see them doing any wrong … then something is wrong already

sad to say but such incidents really reflect how the teens nowadays feel about themselves … whoever has the bigger group/weapon will just feel ‘big’ about themselves …


an accidental glance or bump can lead into something so tragic

condolences to the family

plan for the worst … hope for the best

lesson learnt from friends … get medical insurance for your kids once they are born … their kid was admitted to hospital and bills racked up close to $1k per day!


set aside an endownment fund for their education

Think ultimately is what you require vs what you can afford


Everyone would like to be well-covered for all events, have the highest payout and lowest monthly cost

Personally I try to mix and match accordingly to what I think I would need … started with a life policy whereby to pay for 25yrs (I think) … then covered for life till death

then some investment/insurance policies as income increases over the years …

although most company would provide some form of hospitalisation and medical coverage, would advise to get some persoanlly as well so that when we do retire … at least we have some form of coverage … else would be very difficult if we start having medical issues along the way

my 2 cents

am sure u would require your kids to write the english letters correctly as well right?


and i think it is more so impt to know the correct strokes for chinese
