Unless I receive signal from 'above', don't think I'll like to have another cos I worry too much.

No need .. have signal liao Gen 9:7

Liddat also can?

Sadly, the only phrase I can remember is John 3:16. :oops:

JoeeYee:

I think you have a smaller problem. My ds hitting 40kg and only 135cm. H goes swimming 3x per week, 1hr each time. Cycles and blade and play badminton with ds2 everyday. Still has a tummy. I think it's the diet that I need to control more and not increasing the exercise. :oops:

Whoa, your ds plays a lot of games. My ds only plays computer games ...... but at least once a week he swims and will start blading on a weekly basis soon.

Jennifer:

My elder boy is reaching 41kg, nearing 160cm and my P4 boy is tipping at 22kg, maybe 130cm. Both are very very lean. Think I shld intro KFC to fatten them a bit more :rotflmao:

Your P4 ds only 22kg? My ds already 27kg. I can't carry him anymore, even if I want to. Not unless I want to break my back. You almost make him sound gigantic.

Mrsbongz:

Both my boys eat every 2 hours but are very underweight.. DS1 is only 19kg and < 120cm.. still the shortest boy in class!! How often does the school check their weight etc? once a year?

My ds told me yesterday he was the 'defender' for your ds. I was like yah sure, I believe you :roll: . As long as ds doesn't get bullied by the older kids I'll be overjoyed, let alone expect him to defend others. :rotflmao:

but that is a PUBLIC carpark...same like a road....as long as the drivers pay road tax, they have the right to use them....unless the residents willing to buy over all the carparks in that area, like condo, and fence up the estate...

Must be during PE.. ds complained that he got scolded by his classmates for not running faster good that he has 'bigger' friends like your ds.. at least they can help each other out when necessary.. :boogie: my ds has tried to eat more, but he simply can't put on weight.. so he gave up :roll:

this prob has existed since the estate is built.. with more cars on the roads, things have gotten worse.. but i do sympathize with the residents.. they face these traffic issues on weekdays as well as Sundays bcos of the school and church.. maybe they should be another road exiting from the back?

Need advice from PHPP parents.


My daughter will be P1 in 2013.

I am a member of a presbyterian church in singapore but stay >2km from PHPP. Is our chances of getting my daughter into Pei Hwa very slim?

Thanks.

Congestion can't be avoided. Those staying in private property also face similar problems. How many schools in S'pore isn't located within residential estates ??? There is nothing MP can do about this.

There are still 'traffic wardens' standing there. Some parents have parked their cars at Blk 4 and walk their kids to school. Perhaps they find it troublesome to make that big detour inside just to alight their kids.

Jennifer,

My boy 6 at 22 kg. I make sure he finishes all his food that I put on his plate. He has lunch in school. Thus, I can only ensure he has a complete meal for dinner. But… … my boy is an extremely slow eater. Every meal can hear me say "Chi1 Kuai4 Dian3, Chi1 Kuai4 Dian3". DH says next time DS’s friends will call me Chi1 Kuai4 Dian3 Auntie.

php,
There is no way that the residents in Toh Yi can privatise the estate due to the temple in between, even if they want. My understanding is the temple is on a freehold land.

ski,
Have you submitted your application to PH to register ur child under Phase 2B? My advice is try other schools if you have other lobang to register under 2B or earlier phase. Reason being you are out of 2km, may need to ballot. Even if don’t need, the traffic condition along Bukit Timah in the evening is terrible due to MRT construction. I will prefer DS to be in a school most convenient to us. He is a slow eater and is super forgetful. At least I can cheong to the school and pass him what he has forgotten. Also, I need him to have more time to sleep and reach home asap as he has a lot of enrichments.

Mummies and Daddies,
Told Sil about my worries that DS can’t get into his choice of school. She advises me to register him in Bukit Timah Prim and ensures he gets into the top class every year (as BTPS only has 6 classes), rather than to get into the top school and be an avg kid. What’s your take?

I find that parent's choice should not only be about the caliber of the school. Very often we also hear abt top schools w lousy teachers and that students have to study very hard on their own. I think parents have to have a list of criteria, of what is impt to them (like dist, chinese environment, mission school?), then select schools based on that. Nothing wrong with being average also.. not every child can be top in class, and being top in class is not necessarily good for every child too. I have an ex-schoolmate who was tops every year, he attempted suicide one day cos he couldn't take the stress. the irony was that he did score straight As for that exam..
