Dear Redrose,
you are spending quite a sum on your gal, she must be quite busy for the whole week. Such a sum must be affordable in such a crisis.

so that's the result of kiasu-ness. I guess I am like that too. So do you still go through her work with her every night? or just let the centres do their job?

Redrose,
Can you share where your kids are gg to for enrichment classes? Just want to get a feel on the schools to attend to sustain top 5 in school.
My girl was no.6 in class but ended up 111/ 330 in school..... I am hoping to improve her std result next year.

Hi Redrose
Just curious what does "chinese 140 + 300" cover? I presume the rest refer to personal tuitor on 1-1 basis?
