All About Your Child

We were at Bishan Junction 8 looking at the exhibits of garden creatures.

Though they make my hair stand, especially the gigantic hairy spider and the huge praying mantis, but these crawlies definitely caught the attention of the kids.

We saw similar exhibits at IMM a few days ago too.

There was also an activity area for the kids, either to create insect handicraft or play with 3D insect puzzles.

There were showcases of all types of garden creatures, from worms to beetles to beautiful butterflies in small glass showcases, but the people in charge don’t allow me to take photograph of them….hmmmm…I wonder why…

That’s why I went to the second floor and took photos of the entire roadshow from top-view. (Left to Right) Activity Area. Gigantic Hairy Spider and Huge Praying Mantis.

When we got home, we found a peeping Tom in our bathroom. Can’t see him? Ya, that is why I said he was attempting to peep us bathing. He was camouflaging! Let’s take a closer look.

It was on my towel!!!

If my luck is this good! I can’t imagine if I had went to a reptile exhibition instead of a Garden Crawlies Exhibition! LOL!

By now, I guess all Singaporean Mommies, or rather, Singaporean Babies who are eligible for the Baby Bonus Programme would have received the notice on the Change of Managing Agent for Baby Bonus .

From 1 August 2008, Mommies will have more choices, enjoy better returns and receive better services when the Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC Bank) and the Standard Chartered Bank take over from DBS as new managing agents for the Baby Bonus Scheme.

The Option to Choose Managing Agent (for existing POSB CDA holders)
Each trustee of an existing POSB Children Development Account (CDA) will receive an option form from MCYS to choose the bank (OCBC Bank or Standard Chartered) to transfer the CDA. Mommy (trustee) need to indicate your choice and submit the form to MCYS by 30 June 2008.

I chose OCBC simply because it’s easily locatable….and because of the lunch box. Ooops! Typical Singaporean. Easily attracted to things that are free….*grin*

The divider on the top compartment is removable. Pretty nice. But I was a little disappointed. On the pamphlet given to all households, the picture looks wider but in actual fact its really quite longish. Ah ya, what can I expect from free stuff. But seriously, it’s a good-enough size for my dear Keatkeat to bring his morning tea snacks to school.

Now that there are 3 compartments (if the divider is in), my boy can have more variety for his little meal in school.

Which bank did you choose?
