Hi dear all parents, anyone has school bus contacts?

I engaged the bus uncle referred by GroWorld Centre, Mr Yeo, and am so angry with him! First day of school, told uncle we will bring child to school ourselves, but he has to pick up from Centre. And so he did pick him up and send him back but he dropped off at the wrong bus stop while I was waiting at the other bus stop! He just let my boy went off the bus even without seeing any adult to fetch him!!! Luckily my boy knows the way home, it’s quite far actually!

I told him to pick up & drop off at ZhengHua Pri that busstop, along the main road with a overhead bridge, he go and drop off at the small road, ZhengHua Main Gate. So after his first day, told him it’s a wrong drop-off and pick-up, and he say okie. This morning waited then for 30mins and he didn’t come at all! Call him twice, the first time says turning in another mins… We waited for 15mins, call him again… Then he claims he didn’t see us at the bus stop so he left (which is the wrong bus stop), his excuse is rubbish. How can a driver not know how to differentiate main road & small road? Yet he had the check to tell me, the main road u want, the ZhengHua school dun allow u to turn in 1 la… Seriously I was like!

The day I called him, he seems so blur of my pickup location, so he says he will drive over and see the area that night… I told him, ok if u coming u call me so to make sure which bus stop & I also know ur bus. He choose not to call me, how can like that?

Please help, am I over-reacting? It’s my first kid, and I nv took school bus before myself… Is this norm, esp the start of school? Need to resolve this, but best to find alternate bus arrangement as I m not comfortable with this uncle attitude…

Hehehe! What is ur girl’s name?

Did u take any school bus service?

:thankyou:

hello dibo,


i've awaiting loan for a few sets of flashcards from my friend to hands-on with my DS. hehehe...

Well well, my DS is quite active [most of the times..] so i doubt he can sit still and dedicate his time to the flashcards session.

But reading so many threads from so many mummies.. i conclude that is the norm for most toddlers! Esp. the first few sessions? Same like attending classes.. so, i'm willing to give it a cry! kekeke...

Anyway, since i've the time now.. suffered some setback & decided to dedicate all my free time to my DS!


Hi jedamum,

Wow! Really hope i can be a master, someday? hahaha!!! :love:

Btw, am i kiasu..? My parents keep emphasizing that i am! but den, come again.. if i'm their age, at their times, i wouldn't do so much things.. And i'm against in sending my child for so many tuitions & activities lessons over the weekend etc.

My concern - Start young, i firmly believe that toddlers below the age of 5-6 can absorbe like sponge! ! !

Therefore, actually my strategy was to give them expose to many learning chances now.. but i'll relax upon their enrollment in Primary School.

Maybe i'm wrong.. well, i dunno la~ But currently that's wat i'm planning..
hahaha! Or perhaps i'm really kiasu parent.. lolx.. Afterall, that's all in the future.. no one knwos how it will turn out~

All the best to all mummies! I'm enjoying my role as a mum more & more! hehe

Hi jedamum & mincy,


appreciate your replies to my post!

Had actually searched for more info before posting a new thread…

Just hope kind-hearted souls like you guys can help me more specifically…

Anyway, i’ve read all many threads/websites on them since 8pm… Now my whole back is aching…

Think i’ve decided to DIY my own flashcards…? Hopefully it works…

Hi all parents!!


Appreciate if any one of you can guide me on this!

I’m quite confused by all these different methods of teaching.

Zoophonics is the first step towards phonics learning right?
They are teaching toddlers to regconize alphabets & are shown to tots with animals blend in with alphabets.

How about flashcards…? Are they the same kind?

SighzZz… Can any kind-hearted soul elaborate more details to me…?

My son is turning 15 months, i just enrolled him into enrichment programes @ GUG starting 2nd week July.

GUG teaches zoophonics.

Intented to be more hardworking & pratise flashcards @ home with my DS but know very little about it, etc. how to do it…?

And also, did some research in the net, seems like flashcards are quite ex!

PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE… VERY APPRECIATE!!
