@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.

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.

Hi! I also had piles before, and my doctor was Dr Dennis Koh at Mount Elizabeth. I eventually had surgery because it was getting really difficult to manage and was affecting my daily bowel movements. Thankfully, I’m doing fine now and things have been much better. Hope this helps, especially since I know having piles can be quite difficult and uncomfortable. Take care! ️

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!

Hi everyone, I’m conducting a short 3–4 minute research survey to understand what parents of children aged 5–10 value when choosing sports programs. I’m particularly interested in coaching quality, development, scheduling, cost and what makes parents feel a program is worth paying for.

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!

Hi fellow parents! I’m always looking for opportunities for kids to hear what people actually do at work, beyond the usual career names they know. I’m helping with two SMART mentoring sessions this Saturday, 26 September, and thought they might interest some families here. One is about animal care and wildlife protection, with two mentors sharing what their work is really like. The other is a Word SMART session. What I like is that the kids can hear about the mentors’ experiences and ask them questions directly. The animal care roles in particular aren’t ones children often get to meet people working in here in Singapore! I’ll add the session details and registration links below in case anyone’s child is interested. Feel free to share them with another parent too Nature SMART: https://discover.nyc.gov.sg/events/what-smart-are-you-word-mryun3w1 Word SMART: https://discover.nyc.gov.sg/events/what-smart-are-you-nature-mrytztq5

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?

Hi everyone! I’m a tuition teacher, and I’d love to contribute to this parents’ forum by sharing practical tips on studying, learning, and education. Over the years, I’ve seen that children often struggle not because they lack ability, but because they may not yet know how to study effectively, build good habits, manage their time, or approach difficult subjects with confidence. I hope to share simple, practical ideas that parents can try at home — whether it’s improving study routines, helping children revise more effectively, motivating them when they feel discouraged, or supporting them without creating unnecessary pressure. At the same time, I know that every child and every family is different. I’m also here to learn from other parents, hear about your experiences, and exchange ideas. My intention is not to turn the forum into a place for advertising tuition. I simply hope to be a useful resource and contribute whenever I have something relevant to share. Looking forward to learning and exchanging ideas with everyone here!

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!
