yes , I also read about all the complications on the internet about Singapore users etc but still went ahead to purchase to test it out myself.


purchased from Amazon US (paid shipping like USD 5-6), received within 5 days direct to my home in Singapore (no 3rd party shipper required whatsoever). Switched on my KOBO Clara HD, log on WIFI, sign in Overdrive with Singapore NLB ID. Done. that's all, easy in 3 minutes or less.

No need US address . My set is direct from Amazon US. Posting this here , hopefully this can benefit everyone and clarify doubts.

It is also clearly stated here that the built in overdrive feature in KOBO CLARA HD is supported in Singapore. I can confirm it works exactly .

the good is I can borrow via my hp / PC, the e-reader will sync . no need to transfer books, nor purchase books ! its great savings and value.

I bought a Kobo clara hd last week. it was very easy setup, direct access to Overdrive , and log in to NLB Singapore. I can confirm the device supports Overdrive, linked to NLB Singapore. syncs perfectly .

I wrote about my concerns I had last year regarding the school…my son is now in P1 in the school and so far he’s adapting well…

Being a boys’ school, they can be playful but so far I see encouraging signs…adequate disciplinary action fr form teacher to inculcate good class behaviour like not talking or playing with stationery during class, active parents support group and activities, enthusiastic mummies (& daddies) forming informal chat group to keep lookout for each other’s boys…

hope this sharing helps.[/quote]

I share similar good experiences so far. He is adapting well with his friends and enjoys school immensely. the teachers are gentle, prompt in their communication and responds quickly to emails.

can i ask for iron on name tags from school, do we also iron them on their PE Tshirts?

Panda1828:

hi Mummies of P1 boys for 2014, I found out from SSS that parents can purchase the school books and new uniform on the following dates in Dec 2013 : 17th, 21st, 24th, 26th, 27th, 28th & 30th.


The list of dates are available so that parents need not rush to buy and queue up on orientation day itself.

hope this info helps.

Thanks !

can i ask if anyone knows when do we buy the books and stuff? is it during orientation day ?

warning : catch a crab cruise , operator : http://www.catchacrab.com.au/


just came back from our Goldcoast holidays. with the June holidays coming up, thought i should post cautioning those who is planning for this catch a crab cruise. The boat ride, the scenery was fantastic and the kids do like it lots. But, yes, there is a BIG BUT is to our shock, the cruise was packed with 2 coaches of China tourists and 101% of the men (there were at least >20 of them) were smoking non stop throughout the entire 2-3 HOURS boat ride. Nothing against the Chinese nationals but the smoke was entirely unbearable and uncontrollably choking for hours. It's quite impossible to \"enjoy\" , amidst the rowdiness and din they were making.

From the \"crowd control\" and how things are being arranged, it's obvious the operator is \"seasoned\" to this kind of scene already (the smoke, the noise, the chaos). Hence we do feel pretty upset that they would pack us together with the batches of tourists. they should definitely split out the groups. I would definitely caution anyone planning this as it's a few hours of smoke to endure
