Leg and seat space is more than most airlines.

The shophouses at Amk area are all quite small, quite hard for them to expand at existing premise unless their next door neighbour moves out and they take over and knock down the walls.


I went to their new premise, it is done up nicely, not so much space for parents to sit but I like the overall look. I jokingly suggested to them to take over the former This Fashion premise but I heard now it is taken by NTUC. That place can probably fit more than 10 classes!

Hi tamarind,


Where is Maha Yuyi bookstore?

markfch:

What about taking the easy way out? OSIM's uKimono anyone?

Anyone tried it and it worked? I would love to take that easy way out.

Does Popular carry SPI bags? Hoping that I can get good discount if they do at the bookfest.

I sometimes go to Taman Sentosa, they have a lot of good foodstalls. Seafood is good and cheap!

To remove the chewy texture, I soak the mixed rice grains in the rice cooker for 1-2 hours before cooking. The cooked grains are softer like white rice.

Yes, this is certainly a good way to cook the brown rice, to soak it first!

Does it take away the 'raw' taste?

I am keen to put my P1 girl with TAS on weekday mornings... any idea do they have morning classes?

I also asked them before, they mentioned that they can do morning classes but demand is not there as most schools are single session. Only when there are 4, then they will start.

24hr-mum:

that's great.


my p3 girl started compo classes since p1 (joyhouse, success learning at p1, then mindstretcher at p2).
p1 no exam
p2 sa2 compo she got 6.5/10 - is this considered good or average?
her friend who didnt hv tutiion got 6/10, so i wonder if the 2-year compo class werent effective (tho i know my girl being 1 jan bb, is 1 year younger than her peer).

her lang is ok, did apply some phrases but content just not illogical, just like her character lah...
hence i m trying tas now....

I suggest you feedback to the teacher her problem and monitor her work closely and feedback more if you feel certain things are not resolved.

24hr-mum:

any testimonial on compo/compre results after attending tas?

Hi 24hr-mum,

My friend and I joined TAS at the same time last year. Her son could apply the phrases he learnt and techniques and started improving quite fast. Mine learnt the phrases abut could not apply well and also he would make grammar mistakes still in his compo. The TAS teacher told me that his foundation was weaker and so he would need more time to master the techniques. I continued and now I have started to see some slight improvement in the way he strings his sentences together.

I think for compo and compre, need to be patient, some children learn very fast and seem to pick up fast but some quite slow. For me, I could see that the my son really enjoyed the lessons at TAS so I continued and now I start to see some results. Glad that I did not give up.

I think you must feedback to the teacher and work it out, TAS has open feedback system so you can work with teacher to help your child if you find he is not learning well.

Another thing I like is recently my friend's older girl who is in P6 got a call from the admin side and they said they were giving the upper pri kids extra tuition at a very low cost for the next 2 weeks to help them get ready for exams. My friend only needed to pay $15 for 2 extra hours. They only offered to upp pri because upp pri work is much more and they are the ones who are taking psle soon so they need more help. I was happy about that, to me, it showed the centres dedication to the kids.
