Thanks Allanice. I’m glad to hear that the after school care is good. I intend to register her for the after school care as we are both working it is difficult to go through her homework and revise her spelling or tingxie.


Is your girl on the school bus as well? Able to share how much you pay, what time is pick up and drop off. I know it depends on distance, i just want to get an idea.

remington and foreverj, my dd also starting P1 next year.

Thanks Bluedale!

How do you register for PV? My gal born in 2006 so I only need to register next year? Do share your PV experiences and wishing both the best in getting a slot for your dd.

Hi MJ2009


Not sure if the reply is too late. Have your kids started their swimming lesson?

I too am looking around for swimming lesson for my 4yo gal. However we can only send her on Sat early morning (8.30 to 10) or Sun evening (4.30 onwards).

Hi Mummies


Need some feedback on St. Margret’s. How are the teachers and school system? Are they focusing only on academic or have an overall approach from academic, sports, arts, values, etc?

I have shortlisted St. Margret and Paya Lebar Methodist. My gal born in 2006 and understand that I should start to register for PV (if need be) this year.

Your maid is as lucky as mine. My maid also only do household, cooking and fetch my gal from childcare. The only diff is that I have a dog at home and don’t own a mobile phone.

The problem I’m facing she might have a boyfriend!!! Childcare teachers informed me this week that whenever she is there to pick up my gal, there is always this man that stand at a far distance (within their sight). Once my maid secure my gal in the pram and move on, he will turn around and walk ahead first. They monitored for a week before telling me and this week he is there 3 out of 5 days!!!

My immediate thought is to send her back to her agency. However to do that without asking her seems so cruel. So will be talking to her this weekend. Have thought of spying on her, but if they were to deny knowing each other just someone walking beside her, I also can’t do much.

My main concern is the safety of my gal. Next week I will have to try to finish work on time to pick up my gal myself and arrange for my mum to pick her up on those days that I can’t.

My hubby thought was to question her first. If really need to send her back if not keep her. He is hesitant about changing maid and going through the training, etc. all over again. He is worried that my gal will take a long while to adjust to a new maid as she is quite comfortable with this one.

Hi


Any comments on Berries Mountbatten CC and Orchard outlet? Appreciate your valuable comments. Thanks!

Cheers

Hi All


Hiaz… it is never easy to get a decent maid. This is my 4th maid and I thought I was overly strict and have too high expectation with my previous maids. Thus for this one, I take a diff. approach by being firm and more relax/accommodating on small little things and as the months goes.
She is with me for 7 mths already. I told her off last Fri for not following instruction and putting blame on my mischief dog. She wasn’t happy and when I gave her chance to speak up… she can answered me that "I’m not happy with her… I can do whatever I want… I asked her to explain what she means. she said "you not happy with me, you can send me back to the agency"!
On Sun we were rushing to go out so I packed my daughter’s bag instead of waiting for her to do so. When we are outside and it’s time to make milk, the water in the thermal flask was warm but not hot enough. When I asked her why, she answer me back saying "mdm, you didn’t change the water in the thermal flask?"
I think I have to be more firm and review the house rules with her again. Want to treat them better they take advantage… hiazz…

Hi googaga

I was thinking whether or not to send my gal for Chinese enrichment. She is in N1. Now that you share that K1 maybe too late. I think I should sign her up for trial and see how it goes. Thanks for sharing.

Jedamum, which Berries will your son be having the trial?

Anyone got feedback for Berries in Hougang and Mountbatten?

I call up to check on Yuquan they have N1 enrichment but no makeup classes.

Hi Insider & Buds


I met up with the CC in-charge last Sat. They addressed every single points that I have raised and have also presented the curriculum and weekly class plan to me. They did place the menu at the makan area but we didn’t see cos we don’t usually walk into that area. I’m pleased with the session cos they are open to rec feedback and make changes. I will leave my gal there for this year and review again in Sep.

Thanks once again for your valuable advice.

Cheers
