Last year Dec my family visited West Coast for 18 days. We visited LA, Vegas, Grand Canyon, Big Bear Lake, San Diego.


For Disneyland, we stayed at Tropicana Inn & Suites. Its more of motel type but distance to Disneyland is definitely a very good choice. Disneyland theme park is a must to go. For California Adventure Park, I will recommend for older kids 11 years old and above as they have more thrilling rides.

Hi, is it worth to visit New York, we are parents with 2 kids (age 14, 10).

I am thinking of visiting West Coast + New York in 20 days. West coast I am keen to cover Canyon, Vegas, LA and SanDiego. I am planning to travel in End Nov till mid Dec. Is it safe to stay in Canyon during Early Dec?

Hi,


My DD is in Sec 2 and I need advice whether Pure History or Pure Geo is a better Choice.
She is very confused and hope to hear more from others.

Dear Parents, my DD is in Sec 2 and selected to attend Mathematics Olympiad Training. Can anyone please share whether it is necessary to attend Maths Olympiad and how it can help her in her Maths Subject?

Hi, I am using the Buffalo Stainless Steel rice cooker, its fantastic. No more wastage of rice and it tastes good. Just off the cooker when cooking is done. Leave it for 10mins and rice will not stick at all. Great for cooking cabbage rice etc. Previously I was using the coated rice cooker and the coating always peel off after a while. Now with the stainless steel cooker, I have no more worries. Its expensive but worth it.

Dear Parents, hope someone can help to solve this 2 questions from 2010 Catholic High Prelim paper.


1) At a conference made up of speakers and participants, there were 20% more men than women. the ratio of male speakers to female speakers was 8:5. There was an equal number of male and female participants.

a) Find the ratio of male speakers to male participants at the conference.

b) Halfway, 40 male participants left the conference and another 60 male participants joined the conference. in the end, there was 3/4 as many male participants as female participants remaining behind. How many speakers were there at the conference.


2. At 9am, John was cycling from Point A to Point B. At the same time, Mary was cycling from Point B to Point A using the same route as John. Cycling at a speed of 4km/h faster than Mary, John would pass Mary 300m away from the midpoint.

a) what time did they pass each other?

b) If John took another 3 mins to reach Point B, what time would Mary reach Point A?

Really don't understand why kids are being drill on this kind of questions...even adults need to think....

Thanks.
