Hi Lisa,
Welcome to the TPY club!
Hi Nicky's mom,
The reason why I wanted to get a flat in TPY is the savings for the feeder bus. Though my hubby is driving but considering that when my son grows up, we dont have to give him so much pocket money. Haha. Oh yes, TPY is better than AMK because AMK is further away from town. So more savings for your petrol. I dont mind bishan as there's a junction 8 there.
It's very diff to get one that the reno suits your taste. Most that I had seen had complicated design that I dont like or outdated design. i prefer something strict forward and nothing fancy.As simple as possible.

pantone, my elder son no longer a baby.. ahaha.. i'm getting worried cos he could not get into Pei Chun and only got into first toa payoh primary.. so am thinking of "brushing" up his language so that i can change school for him when he is in primary 2.
Poor son of mine.. i think he's under a lot of stress from me..

pooh, my elder son is going primary 1 next year.. My son did the "assessement test" last weekend and the teacher says he can go to the class meant for Primary 1 and 2. But she also suggested it's best he can build some foundation by going for stage 2..
Pantone, i checked with pei chun and was told that if they have a vancany, the child will need to go for entry test.. I will consider any other good schools around toa payoh area as long as it's not first toa payoh primary..

Nicky's mom,
One of my friend had send his boy to the "I CAN READ" class at Woodlands Civic Centre. It's seem to be not bad.... Now my frenz's boy will communicate with us in english and would want to my frenz to bring him to library....
The teacher are patient the class size is quite small too. I am sending my boy for the trial classes too...

hi jowin,
does "I CAN READ" have trial classes?
actually my son can read.. my objective for him to attend the classes is actually for him to learn to write in full sentences and write composition..
pantone.. today i go see an EM in Hougang within my budget.. i like the place, but hb say cannot buy cos the unit is at the junction of a road.. hb say all the good and bad luck will all go into the house.. and the owners of the seem very unhappy and my hb found some beer bottles in 1 of the rooms.. hmm.. i didn't realised maybe cos i liked the reno the moment i enter the place..

Hi Nicky's mom,
If you are int in EM, maybe can consider bishan. I saw one near the junction 8. Nicely renovated, perfect location. But I dont really like Em. Got to climb staircase and my son is still young. Afraid that he will fall.
Dont be too stressed out about the P1 thing. For me, I would prefer my son to go to one that has a primary and secondary school. So easier for him to enter a "good" secondary school. My first choice is st andrew and second choice is maris stella. Hehe but my son is only 20mths.
What's this "I can Read" thing? How does it work and for how old?

Pantone, me interested in those houses with big hall and plenty of bedrooms.. haha.. kitchen small nvm cos i only cook instant noodles.. Oh and many toliets too... haha
"I can Read" is an enrichment class that teaches children to break up words (phonics) and read. But i realise my son always break at the wrong places.. eg. OFFICE supposed to break as of-fice. but he will then break it as off-ice. headache..
For my younger son, i haven't started thinking on how to teach him.. anyone has any idea what i should start with? he's already 13months...

Hey
TPY thread move to here liao?? I'm a TPY mum for 1 year when I stayed with my parent-in-law last year. I have a 27 month old boy. Now staying at tampines (my mum's) due to some reason. Am moving back to TPY in 2008 when the new flats at TPY central completes. Hmm, i got a 4-rm unit at central thru balloting. Managed to get 1 that's above 35 storey. It's very expensive costing $265K and miserably small. Only 75 sqm. Now regret a bit liao.

Hello all , i m looking for a flat in TPY ... but TPY house is not cheap ! ha ha
Hi Jesebelle,
My cousin got 1unit through balloting but its only at 5th floor, but its abt 90sqm. His selection date is the last few days. So left only low floors. Your unit is a bit small. But dont worry, you will definately made $$$$$$$ after 5yrs. Maybe just do simple reno and if its really too small for your family, can shift out after making profit.

Hmmm.... now already paid deposit, so no matter what, must stay first then see how. Lucky we are small family. Don't intend to have more than 2 kiddos. My selection day was also towards the end of the selection period. When I went, what's left were only the 75sqm ones and a few low floor 90 sqm ones. My hubby loves the high high floor, so got a 75 sqm unit lor.

You so fast eyeing primary school already huh.. Anyway, I am also eyeing St andrews and Maris Stella for my boy. If the 2 above fails, then I will go for Pei chun cos my in-law's place is just opposite Pei Chun. My hubby always say I am very kiasu

Jesebelle,
I was in this year's Primary One registration "fight".. haha.. Seems to me that St andrews and Maris Stella is not as popular as compared to Pei Chun.. Pei Chun was left with 30+ vancancy for those within the 1km while Maris Stella still has 100+ for the same phase. So likely if u can't get into St Andrews or Maris Stella, u won't be able to get into Pei Chun too.. Also, Toa Payoh area is not within 1km from Maris Stella..

Hi mummies , for Peichun , have to stay within 1km , how bout , if the kids mother is from pei chun last time , will have better chance ? ha ha
Nicky's mom
Really huh, Pei Chun so popular huh? Hope that when it's my boy's turn to enrol there will be lesser children. Anyway, heard that 2004 is the year with the lowest baby born
Seems like have to re-rank my choices then
White Lady
Of course if one of the parent is from Pei Chun will have better chance. Cos they get to register their children in an earlier phase.

Pantone,
If i did not remember wrongly, Maris Stella is within the 2km from my block @ lorong 8. I did not check St Andrew. You can call the school to check.
Another thing.. I find Maris Stella is quite inconvenient for Toa Payoh residents. Maris Stella may also be within 1km for Potong Pasir and S'goon residents.

My colleague showed me a printout from an MOE website for primary 1 registration. The website where it tells you how many vacancies left for the phase. Then I saw Westlake Primary & Cedar Primary in Toa Payoh zone. According to my Sister-in-law, Westlake primary (or is it Bradell-Westlake Primary) is near Lorong 4, the SPH Building there... I really have no idea where Cedar Primary is.

Nicky's mom,
Im currently staying at Lor 2 TPY, sounds like it is ideal for what you are looking for.. big hall, 4 bedrooms and the kitchen aint too big
Mine is low floor too.. got it 2 years back for low $400K.. our flat is about 11 yrs old
Though I dont really like the surrounding areas, find it a little too dirty, but it is really very convenient, 10 mins by train to reach orchard
