On the distant moon Pandora, a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption, discovery and unexpected love - as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization.

We, at The Mentor, wish all parents, students and friends, a Merry and blessed Christmas!!! Happy Holidays!!!

Please be informed that The Mentor will be closed on the 24th and 25th for the Christmas holiday.

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

The Secondary 3s helped with the wrapping of the Christmas draw presents.
See that strain on Cheiry's face...... hm... wrapping presents is no easy task.
Cheiry, Putri and Sherwin are busy at work.
Look at the intense concentration on their faces.

Thanks guys, appreciate the invaluable help. =)

Happy Birthday, Alicia~

It was a Saturday and we are on our way our way to the Singapore Art Museum (Former SJI).

We arrived at the Art Museum.

Well, unfortunately, we could not take any picture in the art galleries..... so these are all the pictures we had taken.

Dreams~~~
Dreams are a succession of images, thoughts, sounds, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep.^[1] The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is known as oneirology.

Dreams have a long history. They have been a subject of controversy and disagreement. Throughout history, people have sought meaning in dreams or divination through dreams. They have been described physiologically as a response to neural processes during sleep, psychologically as reflections of the subconscious, and spiritually as messages from gods or predictions of the future. Many cultures had practiced dream incubation, with the intention of cultivating dreams that were prophetic or contained messages from the divine.

Accumulated observation shows that dreams are strongly associated with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, during which an electroencephalogram shows brain activity to be most like wakefulness. Participant-unremembered dreams during non-REM sleep are normally more mundane in comparison.^[5] During a typical lifespan, a human spends a total of about six years dreaming^[6] (which is about two hours each night).^[7] Most dreams last only 5 to 20 minutes.^[6] It is unknown where in the brain dreams originate, if there is a single origin for dreams or if multiple portions of the brain are involved, or what the purpose of dreaming is for the body or mind.

Now, here's one for you to decipher : Putri had a dream the other night. She dreamt that she was holding hands with Sherwin, who is supposed to be her arch-enemy. Now, can anyone decode what this dream mean?

make-up session by the p5s gone awfully wrong!

A little Christmas tree at TM to get everyone into the festive spirit of Christmas which is just 25 days away.

I am so proud of my P6s
Another one for the album.

PSLE results:
The PSLE results were finally released yesterday at noon. Much anxiety were clouded in the students' mind.... "will I do well?" "Will I be able to get into the school of my choice?"

Each year, The Mentor takes in only a maximum of 6 pupils for each level. For last year's PSLE, there were only 5 P6s, and I am very pleased to inform all students and friends that the students have done exceptionally well.

Yong Yee did better than expected; Meina, Grace and Boon Kiong have scored several As amongst themselves, and Sammie(above in the picture performing card tricks to her older tuition mates.), the brightest of the lot, has done superbly! She has scored 3 A*, 1A and a distinction in HCL. With an aggregate of 268, she is certainly one of the top pupils in her school!

Well done P6s!!! I am proud of you all. Do continue to work hard in secondary schools and I am sure all of you have a glaring future ahead!

The PSLE results will be released tomorrow and students may collect their result slips from their respective schools from noon.

Good luck to the P6s of TM, namely, Sammie, Grace, Yong Yee, Boon Kiong and Meina. I am keeping my fingers crossed for everyone of you and may may you be smiling as broadly as can be when you get your results. Remember, I am proud of you, no matter what your results may be.

All the best!!!

Sherwin Tan is currently selling Christmas card to earn some extra pocket money for the holidays. The cost of each packet of cards (assorted designs) is $2 (packet of 4 cards) to the general public. However, students of TM will get a 20% discount when purchased from him. So, do get your cards from him before the stock runs out.
(you may consider this charity to the mentally unsound.)

First set up in 1994 at Potong Pasir, it started off as a tuition agency. However due to my passion in teaching, i started conducting small tuition classes. Throughout the years, I've tutored numerous students and friendships and bonds have been developed. The Mentor has seen its highs and lows, and I am still struggling to overcome several obstacles. Thanks to all students and parents who have trusted and supported me, appreciate it lots.
