        Haha, they used to attend a whole lot more when younger. Between the two of them: shichida, phonics, chinese, abacus, music, kumon, chinese dance, ballet, speech & drama, gymnastics, various Art classes, swimming, blah blah blah. But I past the phrase of pumping enrichments, nowsaday I try to keep to a minimum :lol:

        S&D $200/mth is expensive! Which drama school?

          hehe, yes yes i understand wat u mean. those brain training classes burns a big hole in the pocket :!:


          JG classes for S&D plus phonics lor, also dunno if its really that useful cos these kind of classes - u dun really see significant benefit in short term. but we recognise the quality of teachers there r different from the others. n dd enjoys it so consider it as exposure to english language by native speakers haha. [self consolation]

                      The lessons are not back to back. We bring her home for a break then back again.

                      Need audition. Passing audition is not difficult. However, surviving the course is difficult. Besides the sending/fetching twice on same day, we need to sit with her daily for home practice. Very high commitment and too stressful for us parents especially when we don't have much music background. Hubby already decided to stop after this term. I'm half hearted, want to see her internal exam results before making a firm decision. My dd is probably the only one who wish to continue :faint:
