Very pissed off with Nonya Manis, called them to check on the refund and instead they asked me to call the bank to check whether the cheque we issued to MSHS for the catering scheme has been cleared. Then give them call to inform, they will then proceed with the refund. :x Very irresponsible!!

Tell them to put this down in writing to you and you will follow-up with MSH. Let MSH knows what NM was telling the parents. The cheque for catering was handed over to NM on Orientation Day and made payable to NM. How does MSH come into the picture?

The lady I spoke to insisted that the cheque was issued to MSHS (which I cannot recall) and MSHS will only bank in end Feb or beginning March. My point is, I don't really care what is their arrangement, it's NM's responsibility to inform the school and refund us accordingly. She just give me my cheque no. and insisted that I call the bank to check and claimed that she cannot refund me as she is not sure whether the cheque has been cleared. The worst thing is, the cheque was issued by my DH and I cannot imagine him calling the bank, he is going to be mad :x I think I am going to call the school tomorrow check and also feedback to them .

Gawd, I hate surprise tests. DS just told me the math quiz was over, around last week. No indication at all from the teacher that a quiz was coming. We didn’t even have the chance to revise with him. He told us there were some questions he didn’t know how to do…


And DS refuses to study during the weekends if teachers don’t mention there are tests coming… :x

when my girl was p1, also got surprise quiz, esp when no exams and daily work counted. sometimes she evn nvr tell me got test:（

I wonder why, my boy also...totally no motivation and lazy to study, ask him to read books, pigs can climb trees.

I hate to nag!!! :x

[24hr-mum]

my boy too, ask him do work, like torture like that.

only like to play

[smurf]

Actually he does not mind doing work, but just want someone to sit by his side. He will do the work himself also. But, when it comes to reading, he totally hates it! I dunno why. I thought children would prefer to read storybooks than to do work?


Actually, whatever he does, he just want someone to sit beside him. But I dun have the time to keep doing that… :x

[24hr-mum]

same for my boy. if i m not around or not free to sit with him, he doesnt see a need to do work or read bks. unlike my girls i can leave them alone.


boys are so difficult.

[Little M]

I think it is the type of books that he is not interested? Try the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. They are quite popular with young cheeky boys.


Geronimo Stilton also very engaging with its coloured contents.

[cherrygal]

Yup, DS only reads Geronimo Stilton. Tried to get him to read Charlotte’s Web and he said it was boring after 2 chapters. His attitude is better now when it comes to getting him to read. It was terrible in Jan and Feb coz it would be such a struggle to get him to read alone in his room. Then he started getting glued to Geronimo Stilton’s 2 thicker books - Kingdom of Fantasy and its sequel - and it became easier. Now, he would nicely go to his room when I get him a new book.


I have also changed my tactic with him. Whenever he refuses to do work, I would pretend to give up, go away and let him be. No more nagging. Funny thing is, he would then go to his room and do the work! These kids are weird. But he needs someone with him if we want him to revise for tests. That’s understandable.
