Hi TAS,


Thanks for the information on the booklist, so I can just go down to your centres when they are open and purchase the books right?

Is it true that eczema cannot be cured? It can only be brought under control? My cousin's kid has quite bad eczema, her face and neck is discoloured and always flaking, she has quite low self-esteem because of this. Our hearts really ache when we see her condition but no matter what my cousin uses, it is best brought under control- her flaking stops for a while but the dryness and the discolouring is still there. Anyone knows if eczema can be totally cured?

Yup, no cure. I have had it since the age of 7 where both my arms would get really itchy and I would scratch till there was blood. It became better with puberty but I still get inflammations now and then when the weather is hot or when I touch certain irritants. Once you bring down the inflammation with the steroidal creams, you need to make sure you moisturize and maintain the skin with the non-steroidal ones I mentioned. It gets itchy when it is dry. And the whole vicious cycle repeats. The discolouration will take time to heal. Just don't agitate the area anymore once the inflammation stops. I know, easier said than done.

We have tried quite a lot of moisturisers but not steroidal creams. Do you get these from doctors?

Vksmum,

I've never heard of anyone who overcome eczema through application of western drugs alone. All those who have overcome it or has it under control (ie no visible signs) have either used TMC, homeopathy, nutritional therapy, elimination diet etc etc. Generally most of them take at least half a year to resolve the skin problems. So far I've only done elimination diet for my son and his skin cleared after some weeks, however it is a lot of hard work as some mothers here already know. I am considering taking him to an alternative nutritionist to adjust his constitution.

Hi deminic,

Thanks so much for your info, what really is an elimination diet? How do you what to eliminate. How do you get info on alternative nutritionists? Can find on the web? Which ones are good? Sorry for the barrage of questions, just very worried about my cousins kid and want to really provide some help.

Heard that they are not accepting any new students currently since they still can't find a place....

I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that they will manage to find somewhere in the end. Closing it is such a pity.

My child is taught by Jason. He is good. Very engaging so they learn in a fun way that helps them to register the learning and build the interest. He also teaches them techniques for answering section B. Not sure about other teachers.

Oh that is really a pity, how come they cant find any other place? :?

Is Jason an exschool teacher?

Hi TAS,


I just have 2 more orders from my friends for your creative writing book…so can add the 2 to my previous order in the pm?

Also I heard from my friend you sell story books with creative writing phrases extracted from the books? She says she bought Ark Angel by Anthony Horowitz from you and her son used the phrases for his compo exam and was praised by the teacher for his excellent vocab!

May I know how I can get hold of your booklist?

Hi TAS,


Looks like I am too late to book the Sat 11.50 am slot. I am interested
in P4 creative writing. Do you have any other timings available for that?

Any other parents interested in P4 creative writing?

MMM:

Spoke to them this am, they din secure the place. Really hope they find something otherwise it's a pity. Worst case ask the teacher if he will teach elsewhere.

Oh dear, I tried emailing and can't get them too. Are they still open for business? Which teacher is good?

Hi,


Just want to share that all this closing down is a rumour or a miscommunication.

I spoke to the centre manager today after reading these posts. I was very concerned because my P3 enjoys her lesson there and this is translated in her science results. I also have intention to put my P2 going to P3 there next year. I was worried that if they are really closing down, what would be the next best alternative for us.

The good news is they are not closing down. They are moving out of the current unit due to rental issue. However, they are most likely moving 2-3 units away. So it's still in the same vicinity.

Thank you very much for clarifying!

Hi vksmums,


I booked the Bali Hard Rock Hotel room online. It was about $520++ USD for 4 D3N. I think some of the 5 star hotels are about this price or even more expensive, not too sure though.

Hi i3mum,

Oh, I think that is quite reasonable, thank you very much for the information and link provided! :celebrate:
