Is academic results that important?

“I want the best school, best education for my son”.
“You know, my son is being confined in his classroom from morning 8.30am till 12noon in that same room, where they study, eat and poo (refers to an attached bathroom in the house-type-kindi classroom). When he comes home, he jumps here and there non-stop.”

Money well spent

Qiqi has got too much toys at home, most of them are birthday presents. This is view of part of my living hall.

Qiqi now can sweep

Ever since Qiqi learns to use a scissors, snipping on the papers has been one of her favourite activity. With just a piece of paper, she can snip, snip and snip all day long. So whenever I want to get something done, this is what I let her do to divert her attention so that [...]

De’right Pre-school?

Since I plan to enrol Qiqi into a pre-school next year, I think it is now the best time to go and scout for one. But with so many kindergarten mushrooming around the neighbourhood, especially those corner lot ones, was wondering if there are difference from one another.
Some of my concern
