My husband just went to open an iSavvy account with Maybank.

It's offering 0.5% and above if your daily savings is above $5K and. If your daily savings is 50K, then they offering 0.75%.

Yes that's the best savings rate so far

Hi, time flies.. his 20 months now.


Here's he's progress.

1) able to recite 3 times table now
2) Know shapes including rhombus and parallelogram
3) sing twinkle twinkle, baa baa black sheep and some folk songs taught by my MIL
4) knows colours, common fruits and vegetables in the supermarket
5) high level of imagination
6) could remember his overseas trip that we had at 15mths. We were surprised when he told us at our recent trip to airport that he sat in a plane to Taiwan
7) able to speak 5 word sentences and cant seem to stop talking
knows to pick his favorite DVDs
9) Up to 30 types of vehicles including excavator, hovercraft, etc
10) A few chinese characters. He converses in English and now starting him on Chinese.
11) Spell a few words; coconut, car, dog.
12) count from number 1 to 30
13) identify animals at the zoo

We are at a loss now as we are running out of things to teach him. He's high energy level also makes us really tired. These few days have been really taxing as we stopped letting him go to the playground in lieu of the swine flu pandemic. He's been spending too much time on the tv due that.

I've heard that children can enrol into primary school as young as 5 years old. Not too sure if this is best for the kid.

Has anyone put their kids in at 5 years of age?

Hi suppose u've exposed him to DINOSAURS names (esp. long ones & ask him to spell)
my son did that at that age, now he's a great SCRABBLE player (pri sch champ).

Dear all,

If your child displays aptitude for SPELLING & ANAGRAMMING (re-arrage words eg. TEACHER ==> CHEATER :oops: ), pls drop me a note cos he / she may be able to join COMPETITIVE scrabble. (I'm scourcing for interested youths below 17 to represent S'pore in the annual World Youth Scrabble Championship)

Check out S'pore Scrabble Association at http://www.toucanet.com
There is a coming tournament on 31 May 09.

Heard that some ACSI graduates cannot get into local U cos they are not proven yet. Of course they are well accepted by Overseas U.


Any parents have academically AVERAGE ACSI children getting into local U. If so, which course?
