Admiralty Primary School Phase 2C Vacancy

There are only 74 vacancies available for Phase 2C applications in Admiralty Primary School for Phase 2C. Excitment will rose again as demand exceeds supply. Last year, there was 138 vacancy and this year it drop to less than 100 available. The takeup rate for the earlier phase for siblings studying in the school, school volunteers, parents associated with school and others has already snapped up more than 200 positions.

It looks like only those who stay in 1KM have any chances of getting their child into this school. Ballot is expected to be held for parents stay in the 1KM region given that only less than 100 position is available. Many Parents has turn to do volunteering work at the school to ensure that their child has a chance to gain entry to that particular school. Admiralty Primary School is no different and has many parent volunteers. Therefore their child will qualify entry in Phase 2B and did not wait till Phase 2C.

I wish all Parents the best of luck if you are apply in Admiralty Primary School.

HTC Magic Android Phone

HTC Magic is really more than a powerful phone pack with many features. It is definitely much better than my first Sony Ericsson W910i. W910i is also packed with a lot of features and HTC Magic is able to match it. But HTC Magic can do much more than what W910i is not able to. HTC Magic allowed me to surf web pages just I like on my computer. The W910i web browser may crash if I surf web pages with lots of images or graphics.

The Phone Book in HTC Magic allows me unlimited entry while the rest of phone will limit me to 1000 contacts. Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate is another great function that I like on HTC Magic. It allowed me to view web pages better just by rotating the screen. The HSDPA also allowed me to surf websites and download data much faster than my W910i.

The Android Market have many applications that allowed us to maximize the phone capabilities beyond what we can imagine the phone can do. With W910i, I am stuck with the features and applications provided by the manufacturer unless there is a upgrade of firmware with new features. I can now tap into the Android Markets for applications or games to boost my HTC Magic capabilities.

Android Markets
The Weather Channel Application is one of the must have and the most popular downloads. It allowed me to have the latest update of Singapore Weather. It also help me to know about other countries weather before I do my traveling.

Barcode Scanner is another popular Android Application. It will made use of the camera to capture the barcode of the item. This application will find pricing and metadata for anything with the barcode. It can scan QR Code and these are found in business card. Scanning the QR Code on business card will allow you to obtain his phone number and email address.

You must take note that PRs are willing to pay higher prices to secure a flat as monthly rental are eating into their cash layout monthly.
