No friday should be fine with me. Sat the kids have their Hindi class till 1 pm. You get your son and I'll get my kids also. So can finish the uniform too. We should check if they need the same brand for the IT stuff. As far as I know it should not be a problem.


After this, I'll take them to their kumon class also and then we can finish that also early.:D

where are they attending the kumon class? saw one at bangkit...how's the classes? was thinking if i should put my kiddo there

They go to the one in Bangkit. They've been doing Maths since Jan and English since Aug. I do see an improvement in them in both subjects. The instructor there Mr. Kwan is also quite good.

how about the course fees? hmm...just wonder if its too late to join now?

It's about $120 per subject per month. A bit exp, but I felt, it was worth it...


You can join anytime. They give the child a test first to see how much they know and start from the relevant level.

guess its time to visit kumon then.....seems like they have open house on sat....
have you received the booklist? what about school bags? I went to the pacific bookstore online store...they have this schoolbag on promo...wonder if its really good?

They seem to have an open house every sat....


I got the booklist on Monday. For schoolbags, I had gotten the kids the trolley bags last year. They used it while travelling and if the school allows, I plan on using that.

Just called the sch and was told the thumbdrive can be of any brand as long as its 2GB. Can also get the headphone with mic outside too. But teacher stressed that must definitely have both items on 1st day of sch.

just spoke to one of my friend…told me that Diners club actually send out $8 popular voucher to be used with every $30 purchase…seems like my friend gotten 4 of it…she told me that it can be used for textbooks as well…well, I’ve already called Diners to ask about it and they’re sending it to me (though I’ve forgotten to ask how many…)

Can anyone get it or only people with their cards? If anyone can get it, can you pass me the number so that I can call them?
