Four Reasons for Childhood Education Success and Failure
1. Children's needs are varied. While one child needs to sit quietly to absorb a lesson, another needs to play. It is important that you preview your child through the different childhood development programs to find out what suits him or her, rather than what other parents say.
2. There is only so much information a young child can absorb if the course is too academic or rigid, or if he or she is confronted by too much stressful demand on his or her attention.Young children are not prepared to cope with that and are more likely to turn off or develop a negative experience of learning.
3. Many programs lead with marginalization of parents. There is no substitute for parents in the lives of our children, and the early years are no exception.
4. Preschool education programs that are too limited in course length or too specific cause important neural patterns and connections to be washed out too quickly. While providing an initial boost, many programs if joined just sporadically or once or twice do not lead to long term improvement unless parents sustain and build on these gains.

Neuro Linguistics and Educational zig-zagging for child learning comes to Singapore
Child learning in Singapore has two new options.
Little Neuro Tree in Singapore has a unique preschool approach to learning through play that uses neuro-linguistics. Both sides of the brains of the children are simulated by engaging the children in three different languages - English, Chinese and Japanese/Malay. According to the program designers, children stimulated neuro-linguistically with multiple languages become little masters of attention,o gain the ability to learn another tongue and becoming more adept at recognizing a wider range of sounds.
FasTracKids in Singapore let every child unleash his or her full potential through play using another unique method called Educational Zig-zagging, which involves complex activities to exercise and form brain connections. Activities are presented in a fun, challenging way to insure that the children are engaged, yet must be repetitive to reinforce the newly installed brain connections for long term benefit. In short, different modalities of the same content are used throughout the lesson to strengthen the children's neural connections, without the child losing interest.

Early childhood education and child development in Singapore preschools
There are several preshools in Singapore such as Montessori, Shichida method, FasTracKids and Little Neuro Tree. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Whichever is your choice of preschool education, below are 4 important points to note in early childhood education and child development in Singapore preschools:
1. Your child might love the programme or she or he might not. It is best to attend preview classes and see the response and talk to the teachers.
2. Ensure adequate resources and teacher guidance. Children should not wander or sit aimlessly because of lack of teaching materials or enough teaching time.
3. Curriculum is king. The material should be unique and be based on scientific methods. It would not be fully effective but at least the teachers should be well trained and stick to the plan written by experts.
4. Read. Your child should have teachers who read to them and encourage them to self learn on their own. Through your attendance in the classes, you should also be inspired to read more about childhood development and early childhood education.

Singapore Casino Entry Levy
Casino entry levy collected by the two casino operators - Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore have amounted to about $70 million as of May 10. What does this imply? Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents must have a valid Casino Entry Levy to enter the casino. Day levy is $100 for 24 hours and annual levy is $2000 for 12 months.
Case 1:assume all are annual levy : $70mil/$2000 = 3,5000 Singapore Citizens and PR have visited the casinos
Case 2:assume all are day levy : $70mil/$100 = 700,000 (Singapore Citizens and PR have visited the casinos 700,000 times )
In just a few short months, about 3,5000 to 700,000 have visit the casinos!
Just the casino levy alone is 70 million, but how much money have Singapore Citizens and PR lost at the casinos?
Who knows...

Famous Tau Sar Piah in Balestier
There are many Tau Sar Piah shops in Balestier. But the most original and authentic one is Loong Fatt Tau Sar Piah 龍發豆沙饼 which is located at 639 Balestier Road. They sell both salty and sweet Tau Sar Piah at the outlet, freshly baked. Both are tasty and cost only 60 cents each. They usually sell out by around 4pm, so if you happen to be in Balestier buying lightings for your new home, remember to buy some Tau Sar Piah back to try.

Sunrise and Sunset Direction Chart For Singapore
Buying a house or hdb in Singapore will involve checking the orientation of your unit so that it will not face the afternoon sun. Facing the afternoon sun will heat up your unit and by evening time when you get home, your house will be hot and uncomfortable.
As our earth orbit and spin around the sun, the sun direction in Singapore changes throughout the year. The afternoon sun is generally in the west direction.
More precisely, from March To September, the afternoon sun is in the north-west direction. From September to March, the afternoon sun is in the south-west direction.
So, for east facing unit, you get no afternoon sun throughout the whole year.
For west facing unit, you get afternoon sun throughout the whole year.
For north facing unit, you get afternoon sun from March to September.
For south facing unit, you get afternoon sun from September to March.
