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

Transport costs will also be extra. I'd rather stick
to the current one in CCK that we are already extremely
happy with, rather than find another in Semb/Yishun.. [/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.. 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! Eh, i was already like 8weeks preggie when i attended
your Creative Writing techniques workshop in Paya Lebar lah.. [/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.. 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. [/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. 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. 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. [/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

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

Hi GilTang,

We will keep you posted

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.

Hi singapore45,

Thanks for your feedback! We might come up with a vocabulary
mnemonics book.

Hi parents,


We have had several inquiries on whether we are starting a new branch
in AMK. We are not starting a new branch. We are looking for a
location for our Yishun branch as our lease for our centre at Yishun
expires next year. We have not been able to find a suitable location
in Yishun and hence started looking at the AMK area. We have found
a suitable location there but it is not confirmed that we are moving there
yet. We will post up the information once anything is confirmed.

If we do move to AMK, it means that we will still have 3 branches, not
4: AMK/Yishun (either 1), Bukit Timah and Paya Lebar

Hi LadyBug3,

Thank you 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

Hi TAS,

That is great, do let me know if you sell your vocab book. I also read abt you moving to AMK (maybe), that is wonderful news for me as my MIL stays there and on weekends, we troop down to AMK. May I know if it will be near the hub or mrt?

[Laurenwkids]

Hi TAS,


Just kay pohing here, I do not stay in the North exactly so whether it is AMK or Yishun, it is fine with me but if you can find a location near AMK mrt, that would be super! I think many more of us parents would sign up as the yishun branch is indeed a bit out of the way as must take a feeder bus there to read the place..hope you dont mind me saying so..

[The Alternative Story]

Hi parents (interested in AMK location),


We thought we better clarify something here before there
is further discussion on this topic. Our lease for Yishun
only expires somewhere in the first half of next year (2011).

Only if we find a really good location, then we would confirm
that location and get it first. As our lease is not up, we do
not need to hurry to get another location. So only if we find
a very good location, then we would settle on it and only then
can we let you know if we have confirmed the place.

For parents asking if the AMK place is near the mrt, the place
we are looking at is, however as we have not confirmed
anything, we would advise you not to take it as a given
that we are taking that place.

hi TAS,


Thanks much for your updates. Hope you didn’t mind me making my own wishes out loud. It’s definitely your perogative where you want to open your branches.

Still trying to find time so I can arrange a time for DS1 to have trial lesson at TAS. Will call your number once I can find the time.

Good luck with finding a suitable location!

Cheers.
