Dor,
I just registered my boy to LNT at Bugis. They are having 44% discount of the term fee which is quite reasonable price. However i prefer GUG.Maybe i will change to GUG after one term or i will put him at TPY after i move. Maybe can see you there too
By the way any comments on wesley cc at lor 5 ? And is it very troublesome to walk from lor 8 to lor 5 ? I am nt familiar with tpy road yet

Char,
since u are a sahm what do u do at home with your girl ? i already run out of ideas what to do with my son. he is going through T2 now and giving me lots of headache.
Dor, is the NPD promo they are having. but only at bugis. Currently i'm staying at redhill so going bugis is still okay. if my son likes LNT i will transfer him to tpy after i move
Anyway anyone have FB ?

AL, so am I! Ya, which blk?
So good to see more mummies joining the thread
BabyRainbowz, it's rather easy walking from Lor 8 to 5. Need to cut thru blks 1-4 area, that'll lead you to Lor 7 walk a bit further up you'll see blk 47/Lor 6 and just behind blk 47 is where Wesley CC is. I've seen Wesley, quite big, airy and bright. Waiting list though.

Eunice, so you putting your boy in ascension or mindchamps? What bad news about mindchamps? Thks for keeping me in the loop for plays.
Precious, so you signed up for aerobics? Are you going for any of those plays? Thot we can arrange to have our kids go together since their age so close.

kin, i went to wesley cc over my place here .. also on waiting list. currently i'm deciding if i should put him in wesley or babies by the park. Not sure if is convenient at babies by the park.
Prefer walking distance so don't have to squeeze on bus in the morning and evening.

I'm planning to bring her to watch "The Jungle Book" in mid of Nov. Ytdy brought her to movie, and she had enjoyed another cartoon show "UP"
I signed up the Cardio Sculpt at TPY Central, starting on 23 Sept, every Wed at 7pm.

That's what I realised about Toa Payoh too when I moved here about a year ago, that all the lorongs are interlinked and I can easily walk from one to another. Such convenience! And of course I was so excited that I explored every market at every lorong!
Kin, we should arrange for playdates since kids about the same age. Janice and Pooh also have kids this age.

Thanks, yes, my plan to go back to work will have to be postponed liao, probably for another 2 years till my second kid reaches 2 years old at least. So sad cos I just started a course to prepare myself to go back to workforce :-(
Babe
Din understand what you mean by bad news on mindchamps. I have deferred my enrolment for my kid to Ascension till year 2011. This is to help him settle in with the changes like moving house and another sibling along the way. So I will stay with Liz for another year.

My course is very short - only 3 months. The exams are next year, testing competency. I am wondering whether I should go for it. True, though I won't waste from the knowledge gained but financial industry moves fast and it will be a different picture when I plan to go back to work.
Looking around for a place at Toa Payoh but it's getting more and more ex :-(

mummies,
I must complain! Went to gug for a trial today. Such a bad experience..
1st of all, I was greeted by 2 rude receptionists. I had United Square Mall vouchers so I asked them Do they take vouchers but they snapped me off by saying, "NO, WE ONLY TAKE CASH NETS OR CHEQUE!"
So I asked again, Can you pls check as this is the mall's voucher. Same answer "NO, WE ONLY TAKE CASH NETS OR CHEQUE!"
Ok Nvm, so I paid by cash and they gave me a sticker "Chelsia Chan Room 1" and left me standing there at the counter after I paid. Obviously since I was gg for trial, I do not know where the rooms are. Unlike receptionists at Gymboree and Kindermusik, they dun leave u alone just like tat.. No service no hospitality..
SO I made my way to Rm 1. I was greeted by 2 malays so I thought they are the assistants to take temperature.. But to my greatest horror, these 2 singlish-speaking malays are the teachers at the $50 GUG trial..
I mean to me $50 is quite ex, if i'm paying $50 for ppl to speak singlish to my bb then I think I speak better singlish..
Lesson supposed to start at 4pm but until 4.15pm then they start.. According to them, it's their play toys time which I accept.
What that made me most angry was, they allow a running nose child to come in. The caregiver of the child said its allergy but my bb ever got infected by a supposed allergy kid. So I told the malay teacher, I am not going to be in this class. So she ask me go counter to change timing.
At the counter, back to the 2 rude receptionists. They insisted allergy is not contagious.. Yes its not. But I dunna to risk the 2nd time cos 1st time my bb kena from a supposingly allergy kid..
So I reschduled..
Totally disapointed with GUG.. No standard teachers..

orangeymum - sounds like u shd feedback to the management, and also check out on whether there are other slots which are not conducted by those 2 teachers you'd mentioned. i'm surprised that GUG had singlish speaking teachers which is totally unacceptable.
for me i've nt received any replies from my enquiries from mindchamp. anyone here been to their playgroup (NOT CC).

HI orangeymum
can totally understand your frustration! I went to GUG to enquire and I stood like few mins infront of the counter, trying to see if there were any information, leaflets like class, time and fee. Found 1 myself and asked the very bo chap malay receptionist some qns. It is basically a Q & A. I ask what, she ans what.
I'l say, go to Julia Gabriels instead. The teachers there are very friendly and for the 2 terms that my girl was there, I didnt hear them speaking a single singlish. The receptionist are nice too and they have a little library that you can borrow books to read for your child.

Hi orangeymum
I enrolled my girl at JG once a week, sat afternoon for their bilingual class. Price was about $500+ if I rem correctly. it is a 2hr class and includes snack time.
There is a 15mins free play time too, while waiting for late comers. Every 15mins there's change of activities. Go try the trial then decide.

Hi to all new mummies here .. great welcome !
I'm also a SAHM with 3 kids ranging from 6 to 2yrs.
Hi ARE, I'm so happy for you. Can I visit your little Rachel one of this day ?
Hi Eunice, congrats .., little Josh is going to have a sibling
Is your boy now on daily session with Liz ? I'm going to put them on daily basis, hopefully Liz agrees with it. So far so good, though Jayden is getting naughtier in the class, and now started to show his true colours ... and teachers complains are going to increase hahaha ..
Hi orangemum, understand your frustrations. GUG's service standard is not very good and teachers in certain class are quite lousy indeed. I'm now stuck in the afternoon session with 2 malay teachers whom I find the quality is lousy n boring. Another 1 more month to go and I will be out of the school .. I agree JG is a better choice.
Hi Jfoo, lets arrange for another playdate with the kids. Quite nice for all the kids to be of the same age. Eunice, join us too .. the 4 boys can play together.
