Not about NKF, lah. So much said about that already anyway, and more to come, I'm sure.
BUT...
I've lived my whole life believing that Singapore was completely safe from earthquakes and now I'm told we are NOT 100% quake-proof. Now, that is really, really hard to accept and I feel, in a sense, that we've been cheated all this while with the 'wrong' info. And I doubt our buildings have been built with earthquakes or tsunamis or anything in mind. That just completely changes our whole perspective about living in Singapore, doesn't it?
Made a rare appearance in Orchard Road yesterday and I noticed quite a few children practising in their workbooks while sitting around waiting!! Math... Chinese... do they really need to do all this work while they are out in town?? Amazing. I know there will have been many children whose tuition lessons continued throughout the holidays. And none of that happened in this house, of course. But for the two days of 'Chinese camp', and a few problem sums, not much intellectual work has gone on here. Well, giving yourself a headstart for next year is not really cheating of course.
We are such laid-back parents...
