To all my students taking PSLE,

Good luck for all your papers.

For maths, please sleep early on the night before the paper so that you can focus while doing the paper and avoid making any careless mistakes.
Remember to bring all your stationaries - pens, calculators, geometrical set etc. Bring an extra of everything too in case your pen runs out of ink or your calculator runs out of battery. Prepare for all contingencies.
Lastly, and most importantly of all, do not be nervous. Stay calm and confident and manage your time well in the exam, then all should be fine :)

All major schools CA1 examination has begun, is your child ready for it?‏

Home tuition is the surest of ways of improving grades in Singapore and I don't think I need to emphasize on the importance of grades in Singapore. One typical classroom size in a school here is about 40 pupils. 
 
Forty is too many 
 
With this number, there is no way the teacher can get the full attention of all the students at all. You don't believe me? Just try to talk to 40 people at one go. Your children probably spend more time talking among themselves than listening to the teachers anyway. 
 
So am I saying that to provide the best chance of education for your child, you should immediately get a tuition teacher right now? Wrong! 
 
In Singapore, Tuition is useful 
 
How useful home tuition is totally depends on the tuition teacher. It is extremely important to get the right tutor.

Save Social Energy

Now, in this time and age, there are all kinds of network to help you socialise. There's facebook, twitter, MSN messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Goggle Chat, and mamy many more. So much so that it is making us more busy and less efficient in socialising. So you may be wondering what is social energy?

Social Energy....

According to Wikipedia, energy is "a quantity that is often understood as the ability to perform work. This quantity can be assigned to any particle, object, or system of objects as a consequence of its physical state."

What then, is social energy you may wonder? From the definition above, it seems to suggest "ability to perform social activities"?

Social energy refers to the energy that you use when you socialise – both in real life and online.

Now, another question may come to your mind. So does saving social energy means to be less socialised? Of course not! It is not suggesting that you cut down on socialising to conserve energy. In fact, we want to save social energy so that we can socialise better!

Most of us spend far too much unnecessary time on different online social networks. From these social networks, we consistently get exposed to a lot of clutter, and can end up missing out on the conversations that are truly important. Worst of all, we might end up feeling socially tired, leading to a lack of productivity, agitation, boredom and restlessness.

Saving social energy simply means spending our time on these social networks more efficiently so we can balance work, social networking and other lifestyle requirements effectively. Imagine being able to receive important updates from your close circle of friends first and retrieving the rest only when you wish to.
