Do you have twins too? \"Didi & meimei will be joining their brother in 2013?\" If my elder gal can enter NYPS in 2012 (which I prayed ), then my twins will also enter NYPS in 2013.


If I put my kids to student care, will also do minimal cooking & close 1 eye on housework.

It's good to hear that student care helps in the students in their work. Do you intend to put them in studentcare all the way till P6?

Hi i3mum

I also have 3 kids. Didi & meimei will be joining their brother in 2013. Right now, only have to worry about 1 as 2 younger ones are taken care by my parents. :lol:

I do minimal cooking - simple things like steam fish, soups (with thermal pot), steam brocolli, etc. Else I get mom to cook more during weekend & freeze them for daily dinner. Close 1 eye when it comes to housework.

I guess for me, it helps that hubby is working freelance, so his hours are a bit more flexible. He helps with the cooking & housework too. If nec, I would consider getting part-time cleaners.

Guidance - depends on the kids. I find DS1 is doing OK with school work & enrichments. Student care does give some support academic-wise. Just need to nag him to practise his piano at times. DS2 may need some hand-holding later on. DD most probably will be like DS1. Will cross the bridge when we get to it I guess.

Hi i3mum


Yep, DS2 & DD are twins. Hope your kids will be in NYPS too!

For now, plan is to leave them in student care until P6. DS1 will be P5 when twins are in P1. :lol: DS1 may not want to stay on, but we cannot afford to leave him alone at home, unless we have alternatives to 'watch him'. Will have to see how things go.

NYPS having CNY cookies demo next Monday 1 Feb! PVs will be demonstrating how some of the traditional food are made. Kids will get to taste samples of the food during recess.


I'll be going to help. Any other parents helping out? Any demonstrators?

I helped out last year with the love letters - fanning the charcoal! It was fun & the kids were surprised to see what hard work it took to make the food (all of them) that they simply pick from the shelves & put into their mouths.

Hi Big Devil,


How did you find out about this networking session? I wasn't aware of it at all!!! :?

It was posted on the http://nyps-p1level2010.blogspot.com/, as well as DD's class blog.

Problem is that my session was yesterday, and the blog was posted at 9:36am...yesterday!! :stupid:

[precious3]

I feel the same way as you. The session for my DS’s class was scheduled for this morning at 1015 and I found out about this only at 1100!! I wonder why parents were not informed earlier…

[verykiasu2010]

there will be plenty of opportunities to network in the future if you wish


don’t worry about missed sessions

go to meeting point and will meet many parents there
