@Thomasgoh if u still need help pm me.

I have some 40-something gfs who are keen, and we’re now looking around for places that are very beginner friendly! So far, we’ve seen: Just Dance SG: They have beginner-friendly classes but basically it seems like you drop in on their regular classes and just try to pick up what you can. EV Dance: https://evdance.com.sg/absolute-beginner-courses/

Yes, I did. My son’s snoring became more frequent, so I brought him to Dr Lau Chee Chong to check for possible OSA. We talked about his symptoms and the treatment options, which gave me a better idea of what to do next. I’m glad I found what I consider the Best ENT Clinic in Singapore.

@Wonder-ful Just need to make appointment in advance

My 2 kids aren’t dating yet. I have friends who are single (ranging from 20+ to over 40) so I do hear a lot of stories! Wondering how you’ve supported your kids through dating issues, like poor experiences on apps, no physical attraction/no spark and not sure if one should move on, being ghosted, talking stage lasting forever, boundaries, etc? Just curious

Hi everyone, recently brought my helper to NUS Undergraduate Clinics for dental treatment. The student did extractions, cleaning, root canal and denture for my helper for less than $100. She is very happy and functioning well now. The student who did it was a very nice male student. If anyone’s helper is looking for cheap dental treatment, do contact me and I can pass you his number. They have limited slots so do chope soon!

Hey Kiasuparents, We’re Bit by Bit Coding, a groundup that teaches Python for free. No catch, no fees, no experience prerequisites, and no “premium track” hidden behind paywalls. Our mission is to remove financial barriers to deep technical literacy. BbB acts as the zero-cost capstone bridge for passionate students, teaching them data structures, object-oriented programming, and foundational AI/ML at zero cost. We are recognised under the BAGUS Together ecosystem (an initiative by NVPC, Temasek Foundation, and Tote Board), supported by the Singapore Government Partnerships Office (under MCCY), and currently run our main cohorts out of *SCAPE Singapore. We’re also an official programme under Temasek Foundation’s OSCAR Fund. Our work is supported by partners like MSF ComLink+ and Club Rainbow. Term 2 starts mid-July Taster: 4-weeks, no selection tests, no commitment! (Try out the BbB pedagogy, build bonds with like-minded youth, tackle interesting problems, and build the foundation for the next step.) After the four weeks, we’ll ask you if you want to continue. We select the cohort for the 12-weeks from our taster. Slots are highly limited to keep the student-to-tutor ratio low, so that every student can get the best support. Beginner -> Intermediate: 12-weeks, handpicked group of highly-motivated students who want to learn to code and benefit the community. (Our flagship Python programme designed by our highly experienced tutors and industry experts. Highly beginner-friendly, yet rigorous enough for you to build things for the causes you care about.) DON’T MISS OUT: Students who finish our Python core will be offered placements in our future AI/ML and robotics courses, developed and delivered in conjunction with highly experienced industry experts. What you’ll actually learn: Weeks 1–4 (Taster): Python basics — variables, control flow, loops Weeks 5–16 (Beginner→Intermediate): Lists, dicts, functions, File I/O, recursion, sorting algorithms, OOP, linked lists, binary trees — and a 3-week hackathon with prizes Who’s this for? Anyone aged 13–22. Sec 1, sec 4, JC, Poly, ITE or Homeschool. If you’ve never touched code or you’ve been messing around in Scratch and want something real, this is it. Our past cohorts had >75% first-time coders. You don’t need prior experience! What you need: A laptop (or Chromebook/iPad + keyboard) Curiosity Commitment to show up for the lessons Willingness to uplift your community What you don’t need: Money (it’s free) Good grades Experience with coding Why we exist: We filled the gap between free intro programmes (Code for Fun, Code in the Community — mostly Scratch) and private enrichment that costs hundreds a month. We’re recognised under BAGUS Together (NVPC, Temasek Foundation, Tote Board), supported by the Singapore Government Partnerships Office (SGPO, MCCY) and an official programme of the OSCAR fund by the Temasek Foundation. Our tutor team boasts volunteer tutors from NUS, NTU, SP, NYP, HCI and VJC, as well as industry experts. We’re building a community of inspiring students, professionals and changemakers looking to create a space for youths to explore, to learn, to grow, and then to love. For far too long, coding has been locked behind stereotypes (of what it is, and who gets to learn it) and expensive programmes. Bit by Bit aims to shatter those misconceptions and build a community of like-minded youths and mentors who believe that coding is not just a hobby, but a tool for tangible social change. We believe that Bit by Bit is, in some tangible, meaningful way, a revolution in the way that we think about coding, and about who gets to learn it. Come learn a new skill!

I have to say that there are a lot of interesting activities popping up in SG! https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/activities/singapore-indie-bookshop-day-2026 https://cnalifestyle.channelnewsasia.com/living/socialising-2025-singapore-sing-song-social-club-461111 Have you discovered something fun recently? Do share which parenting stage you’re at, and how you find time for yourself. For me, my kids are pretty independent (youngest in sec school), so I’m able to have more “hangout” time compared to when I was in my 30s.

Give your child a strong start in their MATHS learning journey in this BRAVE NEW WORLD…. Mainly focus in Maths word problem solving… Dear Parents, Are you very troubled by your child’s Maths grade? Are you wondering how come Singapore Primary level Mathematics is so difficult for students? Is your child struggling to keep up with the Maths lessons in class? Fret not, you are not alone. Singapore Primary Level Maths is known to be advanced in the whole world! And the difficulty level keeps increasing every couple of years. In this situation, many parents seek Maths tuition for their children, to get an edge over the school syllabus. A good Maths tutor can shorten the learning curve of your child, and let your child be the Maths Ace student of the class! Introducing Ms. Heng- the star Maths tutor for your child Ms Heng has a simple philosophy when it comes to learning Maths:- it must be efficient, engaging, and fun, then the student will gain confidence and excel in it. Her approach:- 1) Identify areas of weakness for each topic, for each student. For many topics, Ms. Heng frequently noticed that most students only have a few points of weaknesses, or lack of understanding per topic. Through her extensive experience, she is able to identify and zero-in on these areas of challenge. Once these points are cleared up, the student(s) become confident and love to tackle problems on these Math topics. 2) Enhance thorough understanding of Maths concepts A good teacher has to understand how young students think and what their perspectives on things are. By using everyday examples that students can relate with, they can internalise new Maths concepts better. This makes Maths more relatable to the real-world situations… 3) Customised teaching for different students Ms. Heng often calibrates her teaching methods and speed according to how advanced the student is in terms of the student(s) current understanding of the Maths concepts… 4) Wealth of teaching resources Practice makes perfect!! Ms. Heng’s Maths lessons expose her students to a wide range of Math questions. Her Maths lesson notes and sample questions have been refined throughout the years. Ms. Heng often makes it a priority to increase the size of her library of test questions frequently, and her test question bank aligns with the MOE curriculum, regardless of pre-Covid or post-Covid. Apart from the MOE Singapore Maths syllabus, Ms. Heng continually aims at improving her current Maths knowledge through the understanding of the International Baccalaureate Maths/ Calculus syllabus. Even during the COVID season, she was able to move along with the modern times to provide ZOOM online lessons for her students, so the students’ learning would not be negatively impacted. She noted from some of the her ex-students and ex-graduating students that there was lack of tutors who were able to provide ZOOM online lessons for them, hence their grades were negatively impacted before they gotten to know Ms. Heng. She noted from the online Youtube videos that even the US Stanford university used ZOOM for certain courses for students. Ms. Heng always believe in moving with the current times and be in-tuned with the latest current affairs and business environment and that kept the students interested in her Maths coaching too… Why get your child’s Maths coaching from Ms Heng?

P1 registration is changing from 2027 MOE has announced changes to Primary 1 registration from next year’s exercise. Here’s the new framework at a glance, the link to the full story, and a round-up of what people are saying online. Our full P1 Registration guide → In short: Phase 2C rises from 40 to 60 reserved places at most schools, and 12 schools get a new two-track split (families within 2km vs beyond 2km). The extra Phase 2C places come out of Phase 2A, the alumni phase. The P1 phases from 2027 Phase Reserved places Who it’s for Phase 1 Siblings studying in the school Phase 2A Parent is a former student, staff member, or school advisory/management committee member; or the child is in the school’s MOE Kindergarten Phase 2B 20 Parent is an eligible parent volunteer, a church or clan member connected with the school, or an active grassroots leader Phase 2C 60 for most schools Open to all, regardless of prior connection. NEW: two-track scheme at 12 schools Phase 2C (Supp.) For children not yet registered in a primary school The new two-track scheme: At 12 schools, Phase 2C places are split equally between families living within 2km and those beyond 2km, with no home-school distance priority within each track. Citizens still come before PRs. (Source: Ministry of Education) Read the full story on CNA The 12 two-track schools Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) CHIJ (Katong) Primary Methodist Girls’ School (Primary) Nanyang Primary School Ngee Ann Primary School Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School Raffles Girls’ Primary School Singapore Chinese Girls’ Primary School St. Margaret’s School (Primary) Tanjong Katong Primary School Tao Nan School Mostly in Bukit Timah, with a few in Marine Parade. MOE will review the list over time; ACS (Primary) drops off when it moves to Tengah in 2030. What others are saying Reactions gathered from online discussions, grouped by theme + lightly edited for length and language. Property jitters near the top schools “Property prices within 1km of these schools are falling with the stroke of a pen.” “Those who bought or rent near Stevens Road must be having heart pain.” “Next year’s property listings: within driving distance of two of the Magnificent Twelve.” Why keep alumni and grassroots priority at all? “Just get rid of the alumni scheme. Job done.” “Why should kids get priority just because their parents are alumni? Isn’t that the opposite of meritocracy?” “On the other hand: alumni ties preserve a school’s heritage and community, and you can be a poor or a rich alumnus. Grassroots and religious groups also helped found and run these schools, so they’re the hardest to remove.” Does opening up beyond 2km actually help? “Extending beyond 2km may just attract privileged families again, since you’d need a car to drive your child there.” “It makes no sense for a child living right next to the school to lose their place so someone far away can attend.” “The other view: social mixing matters most when children are young. By the time they reach university, friend groups are already set.” What it means for the 12 schools “Some of these schools didn’t even ballot at Phase 2C, so the impact could be small.” “For alumni living within 1km of the more popular ones, the odds just got tougher.” “Every school is a good school, but now everyone aims for the 12.” 🧭 The bigger question: is PSLE the real issue? “This P1 race won’t go away until we ease the pressure from PSLE.” “Or make every school genuinely equal, same resources and materials, so there’s no better school to chase.” We’d love to hear from you: Does the two-track scheme make these schools more inclusive? And if your preferred school is on the two-track list, how do you feel about this?

I wanted to share my experience with the DSA application process for Chinese instruments during the recent DSA exercise for my daughter. We applied to two schools, one with a COP of 14 and the other with a COP of 10. She was offered a confirmed place by the first school but was unsuccessful in her application to the second. Through this journey, we learned several important factors that parents may want to consider before applying for a particular DSA talent area. From our understanding, schools will review students’ P4 and P5 academic results obtained from MOE before deciding whether to shortlist applicants for interviews. Although my daughter secured interviews with both schools, the experience was very different. Applicant numbers at more popular schools can be five to six times higher than those at less popular schools. During the auditions, many students even brought along their own musical instruments, some of which were quite bulky, which highlighted just how competitive the process can be. One key takeaway for us was that a child’s AL score should not be too far from the school’s COP if they are to stand a realistic chance of being considered. It is also important to pay attention to schools that require or place a stronger emphasis on Higher Chinese, as this can make a significant difference if your child is not taking Higher Chinese. While parents naturally tend to focus on their preferred schools when applying through DSA, it is equally important to be realistic about how closely their child’s academic results align with the school’s COP. This is simply my personal experience and observation from this year’s process, and it may not be fully accurate or applicable in every case. I hope it provides some useful insights for parents who are exploring the DSA route. Thank you.

Hi parents, I am new to Choa Chu Kang area and i recently got a flyer about a new student care opening at choa chu kang centre. I checked out their website: www.kindlecove.com and it seems like a cosy centre with small class size (which is important to me). Any parent is keen to go see their open house as the centre manager told me that they have group sign up discounts.

@thebottomsupblog thank you! Haven’t been to Pip’s Playbox before - indoor and air-conditioned definitely beats hunting for shade on afternoons like these. Will bring the kids down to try it, appreciate the tip!
