Thanks! Just need to reply to the email indicating his acceptance.

Will you choose to defer NS ?

Yes...will disrupt if its an option.

Does anyone here know if waitlisted successful applicant may have lesser chance of disruption?

Thanks![/quote]Congratulations to your DS!

Don't worry, he can still disrupt in time.

NUS results are out!

hquek, I agree totally with you!


It is important for parents to know our children well and provide the appropriate support in their learning journey. Tuition and enrichment can be of great help, but they are not the magic pills to solve all problems. While I agree we should not pack a child’s schedule with all structured lessons/activities, I would also not expect them to find their passion just because they are very free. Maybe they will be bored enough to invent things if they are left on an island with no web access, but most kids today will probably spend hours on gadgets/TV instead.

Will MIndef allow NSFs that are serving BMT in Tekong to book out to collect A-Level result on the actual result releasing date?

Yes, they will allow.

Anybody went to Preview 1 yesterday? Was there a booklet of discount coupons in the funpack?

Yes, there was.

Funz:

Every kid is different. Different abilities and respond differently to different methods. Parents have to stop deciding on their own and take the cues from their kids. Talk to them, listen to them, observe them. They are your best compass as to how much or how little to push.

:goodpost:

Instead of PUSH the child blindly, parents should inspire, motivate, support, cheer, guide the child along his learning journey. It can be very rewarding for both the parents and the child. If the parents themselves feel it is such a chore or pain to learn, how can the child enjoy learning and be effective at it? By the way, learning is not limited to academic aspect, it should be a holistic education in many different aspects.

Yes, unfortunately they won't cover any more school fees than what you already have under EESIS.

Then I've been misinformed by someone! I was hoping to have more of the fees covered. Anyway, let's see if she gets it in the first place.

Besides MOE scholarship, can ask her to apply to others as well, for example, SPF, GIC, EDB, SAF, DSTA and A* (the last 2 can't be accepted concurrently). All of them have cash awards.

[quote=\"zbear\"]What does MOE Scholarship covers?

For those already have EESIS, it is only another $750 cash per year. Other JC scholarships have higher cash awards. Of course, it is an honour and a good encouragement to be awarded any scholarship. Some students receive multiple JC awards from various organizations. I think only DSTA and A* JC scholarship cannot be received concurrently.

Not fees? I asked here before and someone said it will cover the other $100.[/quote]Yes, unfortunately they won't cover any more school fees than what you already have under EESIS.

[quote=\"starlight1968sg\"]For working couples, who is to declare the rental income received?

Tks.

For joint tenancy, each spouse must declare 50% of the rental income. For tenancy in common, the rental income is declared based on the percentage of ownership. For example, if the husband owns 60% of the property, then he declares 60% of the rental income.

Thanks.
Isnt the spouse who is earning less to declare the rental income received?[/quote]Agree that would benefit the couple to pay less tax in total but IRAS doesn't allow it. Must declare according to ownership as above.
