Hi quirkymum,

You can get the information here:
http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7586&start=140

There is information on our holiday classes, the creative writing book
(that you asked us under the Creative Writing book by TAS thread),
and our 2011 classes at Bukit Timah and the East at the above link.

Thanks TAS, I am interested in the holiday programmes, I will contact you about that. Is there any discount by the way, if we sign up for both the
crash course and holiday programme?

Hi Krazy,

We have received some cheques but we are not sure if any of
them are from you as we did not receive any with your particular
username on it. Perhaps you would like to email us your
real name and we would get back to you. Our email address
is [email protected]

Thank you
