Art class
fyi, I just happened to know that you dont have to attend weekly once you are considered their fulltime students… Just have to take note that you dont stop more than 3months… so for us, now we only go like twice a month… for Lucas to relieve some stress and arrange to meet his ex class mate there… hahahah
Tpy is my mum’s place, our own place is at AMK st 61, cos when I was preggie with #2 and almost, our house was still under MUP, too dusty to stay, so we evacuated and bunk into tpy… We shld be going back next year, so Anderson is our choice, if cannot, the go Mayflower lor…
You got 3 kids! how do you manage??? I got 2 and am already very hands full!!! -
Art Class
I know dun have to go every week de... but coz i need to go to my tuition centre on weekends every week so i will bring her along, put her there and pick her up when I'm done. but since young she always had a mind of her own, very \"xiao da ren\" so since she feels that it's tiring den i stop lor. Coz for kids, no point forcing them if they dun enjoy, haha... but I think rachel is oso there coz i oso bumped into her there before.
3 kids
Heh, i very thankful i got a very nice mil. She takes care of the youngest while the 2 elder goes to cc. (that's y have to put both there haha) She used to go back home on weekends but nowadays she will still stay at my house on weekends. She really is a wonderful help, dunno what I will do without her

Mayflower - I dun really like coz too near to the park ler. My kids attract mozzies like nothing so very scared haha.
APS - I just received an email from MOE confirming that I can register under 2A2 for APS so I'm quite sure I will be registering there ler. Finally something good came out of all the changing of schools(I have 3 primary schools due to moving house when I was young!) I got a neighbour who got a kid in APS and she said that the school is very sports-focused as well and intro sports like golf in their PE program and I like that coz can train them to be all-rounder(hopefully) haha. Your place should be within 1km so should be quite ok, if manage to get in, mabbe they will be classmates again!
U dun intend to put the younger one into cc yet? -
Hello and welcome

Yes I can feel that yr gal is quite a "xiao da ren” when I talk to her, maybe its becos she goes to CC at a young age and they are quite independent. I saw Rachel once too… then I asked Lucas, if most of his classmates are there or is it the school got discount!! Hee hee… You run tuition centre, so next time go yr class got discount?? KSMummy!
Btw, does the school always change Teachers? Initially were the chinese teachers(twice) and now is Teacher Val, well Lucas likes Teacher Val a lot…. Did Lewen told you tat the current Eng Teacher always shout? I always heard fm Lucas, usually he will tell me its because classmateXX always naughty…but then again I tot its good that I check with you since we are chatting here……

APS, my neighbour’s boy, Lucas , also at this school and he enjoys himself veri much there…. Looks like not so much stress leh
CC for #2,
The teachers are asking too… cos I brought to Bottle Tree Park with K1’s excursion, so most of the Teachers know her…… Initially she was scheduled to go 2mths ago, but fell seriously sick and her immunity has not really improve yet, still on off cought and flu…… will have to monitor here again.
Do yr kids always fall sick? Lucas is always sick since last month……haiz…… -
Haha, my xiao da ren was born that way… she never did the normal things that bb do. e.g. she dun cry during injection, she dun put things in her mouth when teething, she fall down she just stand up and walk again kakaka. haha, ya, i run tuition centre. next time come sure got discount hehe.
the school dun always change teachers. i think it’s only this year. The current teacher is actually the teacher who has taken Lewen since toddler so she is very familiar with her. she left the school for awhile den when Shermaine went on her maternity, she took over her duties if I’m not wrong.
As for the chinese teachers, i can understand coz i run a tc so when a teacher leaves, sometimes it’s not so easy to find a replacement. For english, it’s quite easy but for chinese, it’s quite difficult as u dun find many who are good. sometimes it’s not a matter of choice to chg the teachers as you may need to go through a few before finding one that is really suitable and in the meantime, classes still need to go on so they will have to accept one with the best qualification at that point of time. not sure whether u understand where i’m coming from hahaha
lewen is stronger in her immunity (think coz she’s bf longer than any of my children) but she will still fall sick when her brother is sick. she din attend school yesterday coz she was coughing badly oso. i think it’s the viral season so cannot help it lar. If they are constantly having cough and flu, maybe u want to try give them vitamins. I give the kids echinacea. next month i’m trying out sambucol with echinacea. these supplements helps to boost immunity and my son’s running nose condition improves tremendously after taking echin. -
wah! jab no cry! stylo mylo leh!!
must tell Lucas abt it…hahahha bad mummy!
echinacea? where can i get? is it in liquid or chewables? Thanks!
Teachers, yes i understand where you are coming from. Cos Lucas is quite new, so initially am quite concern abt it. But he is happy there so I am ok. He just changed to next class abt 2weeks ago, so am monitoring him also… -
haha... ya stylo hor... only my second cries during jabs. my youngest oso no feeling de kaka, skin thick like mama hahaha.
echinacea can buy from nature's farm or gnc, is in gummy form. but if buy from sg very ex... i usually join sprees and buy from overseas so now waiting for my sambucol to ship over here. coz for vitamins and supplements, buy from US is cheaper by at least 35-40%!
The sambucol that i'm waiting for is with echinacea already. that one is in liquid form. I did buy an extra bottle tho so if u want I can sell it to u. it's abt $30 per bottle with shipping. United Square got one store selling at about the same price for half the size!
This is the sg store:

This is where i order from along with other spreeists:

stylo mylo leh yr kids! no crying when jabbed…
if you dun mind to sell me the extra bottle please. how to pass $$ to you?
usually where to spree for such overseas? As I bought once fm the vitakids store and its so Ex!
Thanks! -
btw is yr gal in the enrichment activities like S&D(Eng, CHin) and Phonics? or you teach her at home yrself? I had a hard time teaching Lucas, simply cannot sit still type… :x
-
Hehe, no probz. We can arrange to meet in the centre coz i fetch them everyday. later i pm u my number
But the items is only arriving prob next week so u just pass me the money when the items are here lor. I usually spree from http://www.singaporemotherhood.com forums. For vitamins, I usualy join tan leng leng's thread or tuffy coz collection easier.
my kids only join S&D(Eng) coz I felt that their chinese quite ok liao so dun need the extra enrichment. My SIL will help to teach them occasionally but i focus more on the character building. I went and bought the \"san zi jing\" from popular with the CDs and I play them in the car so the two elder ones, esp LW can recite quite a fair bit ler.
For phonics, LW used to attend the one in my centre but when the teacher could not continue, I have yet to find a good one to replace so the classes is on hold now.
It's quite hard to teach the kids at home coz too much distractions ler so I usually \"use\" the distractions to teach. For example, educational computer games. Younger one I go to http://www.sesamestreet.org and for LW, I will explore different sites. Then when they watch TV, I make sure I impart values to them by discussing whether what the character in the TV is doing is right or wrong, etc. Even when we are shopping, sometimes I will point out things to them or ask them to count stuff, that way, they dun really feel like u r pressurising them.
I try my best to answer all their questions even though sometimes I feel like telling them \"next time u grow up will understand\" coz if we dun answer their questions, eventually they will stop asking and that is not healthy, IMO. Actually, sometimes when we have to answer their questions, we would learn something new too kaka....
