All About Your Child

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?

Got this fun tag from Tina. So ashamed to say, I actually went to check the meaning of ‘quirks’….lol

Here are the rules:
1. link the person(s) who tagged you
2. Mention the rules on your blog
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours…
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them…
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged..

This is so fun. There I was thinking that I’m the most normal living thing on earth and yet when I went to ask my sister to name me a few…hey,hey…to my surprise, I’m not that normal afterall, came up with 6 easily. *Laugh*

So here’s mine:

1.) I like to wear pinky rings and let my pinky nail grow till it breaks by accident

2.) I like to see the expressions of people opening their presents, so I like to buy lots of small gifts for individual person, be it during Christmas or the person’s birthday and wrap each item separately.

3.) Whenever I buy a new shoe, I will bring it to the cobbler to change the soles before I start wearing them.

4.) I will bite hard on the back of a new shoe (the part where it always hurts) before I wear it for the first time. A belief that’s brought down from my Mom’s family, “I’ll bite you first before you bite me.“

5.) I like to spread sweetened condensed milk on my bread more than peanut butter and jam.

6.) I am my family’s pimple & blackhead squeezer. No tools involved. Just my fingers. My customers (my sis and Allan) is often back for more because of my speedy-less pain and scarless service. Anyone out there needs my help? *laugh*

This fun is going on to:
