Both of kids (Pri 1 and Pri 3) given S$1.50 daily.


My older son, Pri 3 does not eat much during recess - 1 bowl of noodle or rice is sufficient for him - about $1.00. Hence, he has savings of $0.50.

On the other hand, my younger one eats more. Besides, a bowl of noodle or rice, he will buy sandwiches = S$0.50. Hence, no savings.

In that case, should I increase the allowance for the younger one so that he can save? However, by doing that, I am afraid the elder one may feel jealous?

How?

My younger son, Pri 1, loves to read non-fiction books - animals, dinosaurs, insects and etc (not too sure is he attracted to the colourful pics or photos). I always ask him to read fiction books as well, as I feel good/flowery sentences come from fiction book rather than non-fiction books.


He is usually left to read on his own. I did notice he tend to skip sentences and lazy to ask words that he did not understand. Try asking him to read aloud before but he said he does not enjoy the story when he reads aloud…

Recently, I implemented using post sticks to stick on book pages when he came across words that he did not know or good sentences used. However, he does not seemed to read much by doing so…

Yes - we do need people. Economy needs to grow… However, I personally felt the govt had a open a "floodgate" back 2 years ago - allowing alot of more foreigners converting to SPR easily…more work pass holders and etc… they should slowly increase the figures as the current infrastructure cannot support such a quick increase number of people. Hospitals, HDB, transport and etc…


Are we going to stop allowing any more foreigners coming in or convert to SPR when we hit the "magical" figure??

Been to HK before… everywhere is crowded with people. The size of the home unit is small… the air is "polluted"… hopefully, Singapore will not be like that…

This is just my own thots…

I think it is not so good… the infrastructures take time to build…

I am afraid Singapore will be like Hong Kong - very crowded.

One of my client - Taiwanese - a Singapore PR - she felt the "quality" of life has decrease compare to 5 years ago… crowded everywhere… trains, parks…

Hiee,


Beside buying assesment/guide/grammar/compre etc books from the bookstores (mine-mainly from Popular book stores), where do you buy them? Internet?

Thank you
