Time really flies. Just a blink, and I’ve registered Pie for Primary School. In 2 more years, she’ll be wearing blue pinafore with white blouse, attending Standard One…
I registered her into a Chinese school. I’m still afraid that she might not be able to cope up with it… with “banana” parents, and olden days knowledge grandparents, I do not know how much we can help her. Of course there’s still tuition teachers to help out… however I guess she’ll need to buck up and pick up fast. Luckily, she is quite a fast learner… in fact, she is teaching us the chinese words instead… thus far, I’ve learnt quite a bit 
I need to spend more time with her, as well as her sister… cannot let go of time flying so fast… I still want my baby in my arms
Why Chinese school? The parents are both banana and they seem to be faring well mar

Why Chinese school is so that she would be able to fare well in her future. Don’t want her to be like her parents not being able to venture / go places that are of Chinese speaking medium only.

HI….you left a message at my blog which I recently read – have been busy and that’s why I have not been updating my blog as often as I liked.
My boy is doing great in school, way, way beyond me and hubby’s expectation. He just completed his 1st examination where he scored an average of 89%. Bu of course, boys being boys, we have also put in a lot of effort. He’s in daycare where there’s tuition (minimum) and we engage a private one-to-one tutor for him and she (ms Lim) comes to the house twice a week, 1.5 hours each session. That really helps as we can see vast improvement in him; a year ago he cannot even understand basic chinese words. Another thing is that it would be mych better if your kid has been exposed to at least 2 years of chinese in a good kindi, something which we fail to do for Ryan and hence, him (and us) struggling.

As for the school, Puay Chai 2 is okay although there are a lots of students in one class (45-55) and teachers there understand that a majority of the parents there are bananas
Hope the above helps and do contact me if you need more information. Cheers – Shir
