hi plum-cake


CCA bus at 4.30 only. Nur from RS confirmed that no earlier buses available.

No choice, will have to work from home on Tuesday afternoons when tap dance classes start in Feb.

btw, are you attending the Hanyu Pinyin workshop this Sat? Is it 9 or 9.30am?

Cheers

Hi Ponyo,


Yes I’m going there to pick her up on tuesdays( starting in Feb). so far the RST didn return my call to say the bus no n confirmation. Yesterday I’ve made some arrangements. I might call them next week. Are you going there to pay or just write a chq n pass to them?(for tap dance)

No I’m not coming on sat for Hanyu Pinyin workshop. did you sign up your dd for any other classes?

Thanks for the path ins. my dh went there in the morning and said that is a very easy n quick way(stairs) to DG MRT.

Hi plum-cake


Will be picking up kiddo myself next Tues. Will pass kiddo the cheque and the rt foot print to give to her tap dance instructor. Mummy cannot spoonfeed kiddo all the time right?

Have also signed kiddo up for tennis as she is interested in it. As that will end around 4, have asked her to take the tspt back from school. Bus M for CCA bus from RS.

So far, been very fortunate in my dealings with RS. Got my answers/driver details/confirmation rather promptly.

Climbing the stairs a good exercise eh... that will be my weekly exercise with kiddo from next week :lol:

btw, are you staying in the south zone? cos there's a free shuttle bus (courtesy of Plaza Sing) that takes you to Tiong Bahru MRT

Hi,

I have a exciting Mon with the chaotic mess on the start of CCA transport.
My dd taking CCA Transport on 18 Jan. The bus didn't reach home at the usual time at 5pm. So i called up the driver and he told me he already quit(which driver already informed me last week but RS told me yes, still the same driver and gave me his contact too). My heart sank and i can't reach anyone cos no one pick up calls !! :?: Untill i finally got Francis Hp from the AM driver to locate the driver.

They've changed to a new driver and this driver is new and just sent the student base on list and didn't plan the route so explained why my daughter is the last to reach home at near 6pm (almost 1 1/2 hr plus ride !! ). She is supposed to be the 1st or 2nd one to drop but came last????

Then, Nur called and told me bus came late cos school gate open late at 450pm :idea: ....i don't thinks so as CCA teacher send the student to board bus at 4:30pm

On day 2, i called the CCA driver again at 4:30pm to check location and he told me already half way thru and hightlighted that the student are very smart cos they teach him which route to take and guided him....and my girl is the 1st one to drop and reach home before 5pm.....i hope this will continued....

Hi Sharmum,

I know this happened to me on the 11th monday. coz 1st week she came on 2. then on monday the 11th she arrived at 2.30. got worried and hunt for numbers. everybody gave me the main number. finally I got hold of the driver and got his number. 2nd week she came 2.20+ now 2.40. Still complaining but no improvement. The driver told me now he has to fetch more children, but my dd said no same number of children. They should call us for any changes but they don't .....finally got Francis number from sharmum.

Oh dear, read so much complaint about RS. Can someone PM me Francis's HP number juz in case I couldn't locate the drvier one day. I hope this will not happen though...keeping my fingers crossed.

You are right! :snuggles:

[/quote]Ye I'll join you! plum-cake is goin to b a long-bean in the end of the yr

[ponyo]

Hi ya plum-cake,


No lah.. that weekly walk won't make long beans of us. The most we'll get are better toned calf muscles which is not too bad too.

Am actually looking forward to this additional bonding time with kiddo. Reminds me of how my daddy used to walk me back from school when I was in P1 and how i always looked forward to it 'cos I will always stop at the coffee shops for pau/siew mai or at the hawker centre for that glass of ice lychee :love:

Hope kiddo will grow up with fond memories of her mummy walking down the stairs with her too
