Can anyone share their experience with LCentral Tiong Bahru & Holland? Am contemplating if I should send my son (P5) but dunno if it’s too late for him to et used to the system there, the program seemed very structured.

Yarra valley definitely, it has a stunning view of rolling hills and vineyards even it's a road trip. Summer is a great time to take one of these hot air balloon rides as the skies will be clear n te weather mild. Hope you're able to get tix!

Has anyone try the hot air balloon in Melbourne- 1 located in Mel city and the other in Yarra Valley? Is it value for money as it costs $350 for 1 hr flight per adult and $285 for kid?

Hi parents, if you know of any Pt maid able to work on weekday mornings, let me know, would really like to engage one!! I’m also a FTWM & it’s so tiring to do chores n cook after work…thanks in advance!

Hi parents, recently there's an article in the news about parents buying or renting oxygen concentrators for their children. I'm quite keen but no able to find any substantial evidence that it can enhance learning or health.


Do any moms and dads out there have experience with such machines? Appreciate your thoughts and input :thankyou:

That's true...I'm guilty of taking spouse for granted..must make more effort to show my appreciation from now on..thanks for posting!

I guess for many of us, the truth is that we will not realize what we have until we lose it. We need to constantly remind ourselves that those around us will not be with us for eternity. Must take time and effort to make them feel loved.

After married, sometimes it's normal to look at your spouse and ask yourself this question..I do that quite often myself :oops: & I wonder if he ask himself also...can't tell heh.. Thanks for sharing!

Why not you have a heart to heart talk with him? The holidays are coming and there is still time to\" talk some sense\" into your boy. Maybe you & son can do target-setting and a termly revision schedule on what topics he shuld cover each week etc.


Review the schedule each term and see how he progresses. The thing about unmotivated kids is that they can't *See* or visualise where they are in the near future so coming up with a feasible plan & realistic mini-goals (how many marks for tests, CA,SA,prelims should he score...) can help. I agree that a 'carrot' helps, give him a reward if he works to achieve those mini-goals.

Tv is a major distraction though, i totally understand where you're coming from, my daughter used to be a real couch potato,she can watch everything from Cable to Tamil movie but I stand firm & gradually cut down on her tv watching. She's also doing psle next yr..

Dear all parent,

I've a big headache. My elder son doesn't like to study. Everyday come back from school watch TV. Although, we have punished him for watching TV and even restricted him from watching, you just can't be bother. Still continue to watch. He did very badly for his SA 1 this year and I'm so worry for his PSLE next year. His average T-score was less than 150. I'm ready worry for him but he just can't be bother. Even though myself and hubby had tried to explain to him the importance of education and responsbility etc. But his attitude is like left in right out. Even when I sit together with him to help him to revise his work, for e.g. chinese, I explain to him the meaning and prounication, but the next day when I ask him back, he forgot everything liao. I'm very furious as time is lacking and he is not absorbing. Just like yesterday, I told him to revise his science as SA 2 is coming. In the end, he did revise 2 topics of the science BUT within 15 mins and is like watching the TV and studying at the same time. My maid told me that. When I tested on the topics that he revised in the afternoon, he couldn't answer me. I was so angry :stupid: Please advise me what I should do. I'm really at a loss. Thank so much.

He needs someone to compete with.
