      The Alternative Story:

      Hi JayneLL, kitty2 and littlewoman,

      We have been looking for a place in Yishun as our current place at
      Yishun Ave 11 is too small for us. However, we have not been
      successful in doing so. We have also been looking in the Ang Mo
      Kio area and did find a place that seems quite suitable. However,
      we have not confirmed anything. We are quite serious about this place
      and will let you know once it is confirmed.

      Hi TAS,

      Yes!! Hopefully, you can settle on getting the AMK place..I was
      really so so excited when I saw your post. I stay at Bishan and AMK is so much nearer than Yishun. Glad your lease at Yishun expires next year and it is too small for you šŸ˜‰

        Hi TAS,


        My son came back today telling me that his teacher was also promoting the TAS book! He was so proud that he had the book already haha. Anyway, do let us know if you plan to come up with any more books, whether they are creative writing or dealing with paper 2.

          Oops sorry. It's the other thread :oops:. I saw your name here, put one and one together, and got three.

          He picked up Anthony Horowitz once at the airport and was laughing his head off, but I never followed up on that. Haven't heard of the other authors but will check them out tks. He's 7.
          Ho Blobbi,

          No problem šŸ˜‰ I think you are talking about 'The Diamond Brothers'
          series that Anthony Horowitz has written. The humour is quite slapstick
          and it can be funny. šŸ˜„

            Hi TAS,


            Hope you have another 10 copies of the creative writing book? Some of my friends want to order. I will arrange to go down to Yishun to collect if you do have 10 more copies.
            Hi littlewoman,

            Yes we do šŸ˜‰

              Hi TAS,


              I just got your creative writing book! It is really one of the best writing books for kids! Do you have other books, eg: grammar, synthesis, vocab, that you plan to have. I like the way you have the vocab mnemonics, and the way you teach grammar here on the forum. Perhaps you could do books solely on grammar, vocab etc. I am sure many of us will buy šŸ˜„
              Hi LadyBug3,

              Thank you šŸ˜‰ We may come up with a vocabulary mnemonics book
              but we are still working on it and it is not confirmed if we would sell
              it yet.

              TAS

                [quote]Heyya again, TAS. Can't lah.. Logistics will be a problem.

                Transport costs will also be extra. šŸ˜“ I'd rather stick
                to the current one in CCK that we are already extremely
                happy with, rather than find another in Semb/Yishun.. šŸ˜‰[/quote]Hi buds,

                If you are happy with the school in CCK, then better stick to
                it, as it is, it is hard to find good schools.

                [quote]Recently received a call from one of the schools we waitlisted at...
                :xedfingers: now.. šŸ˜‰ Tiring? Naah.. i need the exercise to stay
                in shape... whatever shape that it is now though.. :lol:[/quote]True, then when you have given birth, you can easily go back to
                your pre-pregnancy self. But it can be tiring, especially if
                you take the public transport.
                [quote]Thanks! šŸ˜„ Eh, i was already like 8weeks preggie when i attended
                your Creative Writing techniques workshop in Paya Lebar lah.. šŸ˜‰[/quote]Oh, we did not know that. You still looked slim!
                [quote]I'd go back to preschool line (still considering full-time or part-time) which
                i am very passionate in and also do further study.. šŸ˜‰ Have been
                observing the industry and looking around for a good place to work.
                Preferably near where i reside as well so it'll save travel time. [/quote]Do let us know where you will be working, maybe we could
                recommend some mothers to you if they are looking for
                preschool education.
                [quote]Yes, i am. This is a confirmed programme... together with Math as well..
                amongst other programmes in the works. šŸ˜‰[/quote]All the best for your home business!
                [quote]Aaaawww.. thanks! That's very sweet! :love:[/quote]No problem, but it is true, you have been helping so many parents
                here with your advice on preschool education so we are sure
                you will do very well.

                [quote]Yes, they are ecstatic over the possibility of joining TAS for enrichment
                lessons! They're keeping their fingers crossed. I'm considering your
                Sunday slots as both can attend at the same time, which is the most
                ideal scenario. šŸ˜„ But i also like weekdays cos it'll give them time off
                for the weekends to chill out.. but weekdays are 2 separate days &
                timings.. So will see how it goes. šŸ™ Will keep in touch with you
                guys...[/quote]Sure, hope to hear from you soon
                [quote]Oh btw, i'll see if i can personally pick up the book from you this Sunday.
                Will call to confirm first. šŸ˜‰[/quote]Sure, just call us to confirm, we are open on Sunday from 9 am to 2 pm.

                  Hi TAS,


                  I am really excited to see you are really considering AMK, I went down to your yishun branch and brought my kid for a trial and she really liked it. We have already signed up and it would be extra convenient if you move to AMK. I know of 2 other friends who want to sign up after I showed them your work but they stay at Toa Payoh. They would def sign up if you move to AMK. :love:
                  Hi vksmums,

                  Yes it will be more convenient but it is not confirmed that we are
                  moving to AMK but the possibility is high šŸ˜‰
