Our kids are really fortunate to be in Singapore,which is not only International, child friendly, safe and clean but offers diversified activities for all.

How many times we watch people sky diving and wish for the same but never get a courage to do so. Of course, it's dangerous and thoughts of experiencing a roller coaster free fall is really scary:).

Die Die Must Try!!!!....Experience
the wrath of the sea in the Typhoon Theatre, a 360-degree multimedia
theatre that takes you on a perilous voyage on board a 9th-century
Chinese junk. Laden with cargo, the ship runs into a storm. The sea
roars, the skies darken and the ship rolls, pitches, turns and finally
sinks. At the end, the ship’s passengers find themselves in the depths
of the ocean, up close with the shipwreck.
The much anticipated National Child Education Conference &
Exhibition 2012 returns with a big bang! With a focused theme that has
fascinated scientists, educators, parents and students - "REVEALING THE SCIENCE AND SECRETS BEHIND THE WORLD’S GREATEST TALENT & GENIUSES”.
The conference will reveal the latest research and discovery behind how
champions are made, whether genuises are born or made, what’s the
secret behind Mozart, Tiger Woods, Einstein and other greats today? How
can training and learning be deliberately cultivated to achieve
exceptional performance and grades? Why studies and assertions on
genetic superiority are flawed? What teachers and coaches can do to
produce exceptional students?

Malaysia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Vietnam, India and Philippines, the
