Hormones suddenly dropped to the bottom…what should I do??? My son also felt the same.

Daughter was having SA2 very soon then…son offered to coach her because the sudden emptiness of doing nothing was unbearable. I appreciated his sweet offer.

[quote=\"ngl2010\"]I am actually dreaded thinking PSLE will be over in 3 weeks time 😒


cos after psle ends, we get withdrawal symptoms like, too much time on our hands and dunno what else to do? or just thinking of getting the results will send our pulse racing and blood pressure rising?

then again, i still have my p4 ds who is taking his sa2 to tekan. πŸ˜†

DS will be busy pretty soon.. I got his study timetable all sorted out :evil:
When I'm done with PSLE, I will have slightly more time to hover behind DS :evil: πŸ˜†[/quote]haha... I will also has MORE time for DS SA2 πŸ™‚ after PSLE.
Can't wait for PSLE to be over, go BKK for holiday, then back to DS SA2 to be over so that just think of FUN, FUNS, FUNSsss. We already start to plan the school holiday activities...
:spank: I know, PSLE is coming but holiday is more exciting :spank:

Been thinking that PSLE is going to be over soon. After PSLE, I still have to chiong for P3-SA2. Honestly, when kids are at school, I do feel restless so cannot imagine after exam. I am contemplating whether to return to workforce soon after or 'nuan' for another few months to enjoy the year end holidays with the kids.

Perhaps you can pick up a new hobby?
I only feel lethargic.. The act of my little peanut :snooze:

Hey sounds like a good biz idea? Train/coach other kids after your success with your DS? :rahrah:
Haha. Then must quickly decide which market segment u want to target. After PSLE sure lots of people wanna setup 'coaching' biz ......
- how to bring up resilient kids
- how to ace without stress
- how to motivate the unmotivated kids
- how to bounce back again etc etc etc.

Why?
I am looking forward. πŸ˜‰
I can nuar & have lotsa play time.

Actually I like to study πŸ˜‰ . Preparing DS for PSLE brought back memories where I don't have to think about housework, finances and all boring adult stuff. Now it will come to an end 😒[/quote]Study makes me :gloomy: :imconstipated: :faint: :snooze:
Think on the bright side - when your DS is in Sec1, you will enjoy it even more :evil:
I'm looking forward to clear the bookshelves. Already arranged & planned who gets what.......what's left is confirming the lunch dates for distribution. πŸ•Ί

May I ask why you pull your DD out of Nafa biligual class? I thought the Nafa bilingual class is of high std.

My DD Chinese teacher is quite good, but english...except ask students to memorize the material, nothing else was really told during the class., kids keep talking, drawing, playing games etc during english class, waste money...

their preparation grade teacher who teach both chinese and english is good.

Many of parents there will put their kids out of class.

My DD will be in P3 next year. I put her in Nafa bilingual class in past 1 year...I decide to pull her out from that class...I call Lorna Whiston to enquiry about their course, and teacher source...feel very good, they have Trinity Guidhall Certificate course as well, but only for kids from P4 onwards. 90% of their teachers are from UK...they have so many kinds of classes, can not decide which is the most suitable one. I did not ask them about course fee as I believe it should be the same as listed on website.

Pls share with me if you have more informations on this topic.

Hi there again,


Jackeline Carter is the speaker and personally, I find she speaks very well. She is the founder of Academy IG and you can read more about her at http://www.academyig.com/about-us/ Jackeline is a Singapore native born to a British father and a Chinese mother, worked as a corporate trainer for many years. What I like about Academy IG is β€œit conducts Oral Communication classes to prepare students for the Trinity Guidhall Certificate in Oral Communication Grade 1-8. In addition, it is an internationally recognized certification from UK and the examiners flies in to Singapore twice a year to conduct exams.”

Thank you for sharing the information on Lorna Whiston. How old is your kid? Is the rates stated in there the same as what you have quoted over the phone? Thank you.

Cheers!

I have not tried this training centre as I came to know it thru the seminar I attended with my family. The speaker is the one who runs the training centre. I am looking for other alternatives other than this one. You interested to send your child for this programme?


Cheers!

Hi Ongmum, Thanks for your comments...how do you think about the speaker's english of academy Ig? Is he a local or oversea? As most of their lessons are full, it's difficult to enroll now.

I'm considering about another one, and I made a call this morning, sounds good...http://www.lornawhiston.com.sg/. The receiption girl's english is quite standard, I like the way she talked to me.
