SNIPPETS MIDDLE BRAIN ACTIVATION COURSES FOR KIDS 儿童间脑启动班 HELLO THERE, KITTY SEWING MACHINES! No, we don’t have a talented cat running around in the office that is able to operate a sewing machine. But, we’ve found a talented sewing machine with a very famous kitty that will definitely put a smile on your and your children.

With the Hello Kitty sewing machines, it adds the fun in functionality while providing a sophisticated and professional finish,” says Shigeki Yamashita, the regional product manager. Each machine also comes with a whole set of extras - the NV980K comes with 54 exclusive Hello Kitty embroidery patterns, a bonus CD and more, while its cheaper counterpart, the GS2786K, provides buyers with an instructional DVD and a craft work recipe bonus video. The two Hello Kitty sewing machines are available at Brother International Singapore’s authorised resellers and superstores. Prices start from S$348. A NEW ROYAL TREAT The legend of JWEL is a tale as old as time, with plots and twists as thick and delicious as each creamy bite. Meet the aristocratic Ice Cream Empire family, the Decadent Duke of Vanilla, the Curvaceous Countess of Tiramisu, the Delectable Duchess of Double Chocolate, the Extravagant Earl of Caramel and the Brazen Baron of the Black Forest. We’ve met all of them and unfortunately, we ate all of them up because they were so delicious. Before you start picketing our office with cannibal signs, the JWEL family is really a new range of decadent flavours from F&N Creameries Singapore! Our team unanimously voted for Double Chocolate as the best of the lot but don’t let it deter you from trying the other flavours; they are as delicious as they sound. The JWEL royal range is available at a suggested retail price of S$2.95 for one stick at selected 7-Eleven stores but if you’re looking to consume the whole family, you can pick up a pack of four at supermarkets for S$9.80. THE SCIENCE OF THE MIND The Singaporean curriculum has garnered many accolades and much adulation around the world for producing some of the smartest and most hardworking students in the world. Unfortunately though, many of our children use a lot of the left side of the brain, the part responsible for logic, analysis and mathematical computations among other things, in the classroom. Mental Literacy Training Pte Ltd, a middle brain activation education institution in Singapore, focuses on helping children to fully realise their potential by simultaneously activating both sides of the brain! How do they do this? By strengthening the middle brain, which connects both the left and right hemispheres. Your child will be able to better retain knowledge, gain more confidence, have better memory and perception, and more importantly, perform better not only in school but in life! Mental Literacy Training Pte Ltd conducts programmes at four locations in Singapore – Balmoral Plaza, Kovan, Bukit Batok and Bukit Timah – and Malaysia.
