Fw: Confession of a Boss - Why I fired my Secretary.
I WENT
DOWNSTAIRS FOR BREAKFAST HOPING MY WIFE WOULD BE PLEASANT AND SAY,
'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!', AND POSSIBLY HAVE A PRESENT FOR ME.
AS IT TURNED
OUT, SHE BARELY SAID GOOD MORNING, LET ALONE 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY.'
I
THOUGHT... WELL, THAT'S MARRIAGE FOR YOU, BUT THE KIDS WILL REMEMBER.
MY KIDS CAME INTO BREAKFAST AND DIDN'T SAY A WORD.
SO WHEN I LEFT
FOR THE OFFICE,I WAS FEELING PRETTY LOW AND
SOMEWHAT
DESPONDENT.
AS I WALKED INTO MY OFFICE, MY SECRETARY JANE
SAID, 'GOOD MORNING, BOSS,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!'
IT FELT A
LITTLE BETTER THAT AT LEAST SOMEONE HAD REMEMBERED.
I WORKED UNTIL ONE
O'CLOCK AND THEN JANE KNOCKED ON MY DOOR AND SAID,
'YOU KNOW, IT'S SUCH A
BEAUTIFUL DAY OUTSIDE, AND IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY,
LET'S GO OUT TO LUNCH, JUST
YOU AND ME.'
I SAID, 'THANKS JANE, THAT'S THE GREATEST THING I'VE HEARD
ALL DAY. LET'S
GO!'
WE WENT TO LUNCH. BUT WE DIDN'T GO
WHERE WE NORMALLY WOULD GO.
WE DINED INSTEAD AT A LITTLE PLACE WITH
A PRIVATE TABLE.
WE HAD TWO MARTINIS EACH AND I ENJOYED THE MEAL
TREMENDOUSLY.
ON THE WAY BACK TO THE OFFICE, JANE SAID, 'YOU KNOW,
IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL
DAY... WE DON'T NEED TO GO BACK TO THE
OFFICE, DO WE?'
I RESPONDED, 'I GUESS NOT. WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND?'
SHE SAID, 'LET'S GO
TO MY APARTMENT.'
AFTER ARRIVING AT HER
APARTMENT JANE TURNED TO ME AND SAID, 'BOSS, IF YOU
DON'T MIND,
I'M GOING TO STEP INTO THE BEDROOM FOR A MOMENT. I'LL BE
RIGHT
BACK.'
'OK.' I NERVOUSLY REPLIED.
SHE WENT INTO THE
BEDROOM AND, AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES, SHE CAME OUT
CARRYING A
HUGE BIRTHDAY CAKE... FOLLOWED BY MY WIFE, KIDS, AND DOZENS OF
MY
FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS, ALL SINGING 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'.
AND I JUST SAT
THERE...
ON THE
COUCH...
NAKED.

Happygal,

Tks Jerejoy for the info!
I duno anything abt Shichida but I went for the iGenius seminar and was pretty impression with their presentation and sharing. Personally I believe there must be something good about them as they’ve been featured in CH 8 special report twice.
Except that their sales ppl there very inexperience, dun even know what their workbook is about. Maybe they are last min. hired ones during the seminar last mth I think.
Anyway, to me… it make more sense to send them to any courses only after when they reach 2 yrs old, unless you have that many spare cash to spend. ;p

My ex-collg's kids are with them. They were featured on TV a few weeks ago, her eldest girl is one of the brightest kid there. Accordingly to this ex-collg, it really helps with her right brain.

I ever heard somebody says… it’s better to have kids to start with Chinese first before English. Bcos Chinese activates Right Brain whereas English is Left Brain. And the more a kid use English, he/she will has difficulty in Maths & Science.
Do you mummies agree? I do have a classmate who scored A for English but failed rest of his subjects…

I prob sign her up for MPM math when she's older too. It focus not so much on school based mathematica but more of IQ mathematics which are the common kind of questions in the PSLE papers now...

abc,
wow! that's expensive leh.. The principal said there's a prestige school trying to link up with Shichida and using their method to teach in their pri school but she didn't disclose the school name. She said it's gg to aid them a lot when they go to pri, sec n even Uni. I'm pretty impressed by them cos they showed quite a few cases. Hmm, but it's quite x... Anyway, still hv time to decide. I'm gg to try out their shichida method first b4 commiting to their kindergarten.

it is their company of cos they say no prob. Same thing montesori sch oso say their method will allow them to blend into pri, sec or even higher education. But is tehre any proof? In fact like montesori it might not help when they go into singapore sch because in our sch system it is still very desk bound (though the giv try to change a lot). Kids who are trained to speak up were often ask to keep quiet in class.. in that case they might feel demoralise. I do admit in one way or another (perhaps better memory) might help them in sch.. but how abt academic wise... skill is skill u still nd to knw the content...
sorry occupational hazard..but still i'm a sec sch teacher. maybe those teaching pri sch may voice out? jus my opinion only...

abc, yes.. spore schs still very strict in following syllabus.. not too keen in "talkative" kids..
so if they express their views, they may be labelled as creating trouble to some teachers who are more ridged. perhaps not all teachers though.
a fren of mine told me tat shicida is more for memory.. glenn doman is also memory. not so much of speed reading as wat they claim..
so i gave up thinking abt all these other teaching methods le. will do more traditional reading and guiding at home.. b4 preschool.

Dear all,
Actually, I haven even started looking at courses. I wanna try BB on trial classes. But I also dunno what's there around Bt Batok/Bt Gombak/Clementi etc area.
I saw a shop in Sunset Way that looks like a Toddlers Playground. But have to find out more.
