Taska Damansara Utama

 It may as well be an international Day. We celebrate  it every year.   The kids and the parents are almost al fans of   Star Wars,  and the new Mandalorian series.   At Taska Damansara Utama we mark this special day with movie trivia, prizes and art work! 

 Malaysia  -  As modernised as we are as a nation, we have to admit to some degree that we as a nation ….well we are still pretty cowboy still.  A bit wild wild west here …where many Taskas remain illegal and u registered.   Even in Damansara Utama, we find hidden taskas or those who were sold and lost their permits and still operating secretly and illegally.  These taskas often will close from one location and run to another. Dodging the law and accountability.  Not so for us as we are land ark institution here,  The first taska set up  over four decades ago here in  Damansara Utama, We moved only once to comply with the permit requirement detdecades  ago  that taskas had to be established on corner lots.  When it comes to permits, licenses, regulatory stuff half the time there is no enforcement, the other half the time there could be shady corruptive practices or worse.  You will be relieved to know that for a Taska...

Why is my kid always sick???   Why is my kid infected so often js your school filthy.!?!  We hear this from time to time and often with new first time parents. There, there …..take a breathe. Its very normal. Here is why….. For the first timers, either to daycare, kindergarten, preschool or primary school… your kids are gonna get sick. Like a lot.  The immune system will be tested and  eventually over time a healthier stronger child will emerge.   It can take up to a year and during that year you can expect frequent colds, tummy aches, runs and etc.  Even a few pabic visits to the ER. But at the other end of it , will emerge a child who can mingle and mix with the best of them. The same is said of the adult teachers who first start teaching and get ill throughout the first year.  There are things you can do to help prep your kid for the storm to come. Teach good hygiene habits, masks and hand washing before n after meals. Good  n healthy nutrition...

PHer first time on National TV watch until the end for the segment.  Of late news has been on CCTV at Taskas. We are for it as we believe it can help protect children, employers and employees. For children too young to speak for themselves and accountability fir employers and employees whi bear a heavy responsibility.  We do not share the CCTv video and use it only when required to discovwr the truth of things.   

Though at Taska Damansara Utama there is no dire need to learn the tables, however as we have a. Primary and kindly program at the Learning Steps Academy,  This is a battle we fight and are asked about all the time.  The straight answer is….. as soon as they can. It can be as early as six or as old as nine years old.   To only start learning the tables at standard 3 or 9 years old is already somewhat late. As standard 2 curriculum in Malaysia already requires Times Table and preliminary division in the later part of Std 2.  Hence we can derive from here that only starting to learn the complete tables only when you 9 or Std 3 is going to be a game of never ending catch up.  You can sing it, chant it and play math games. Recite it in the car together on the way to Jaya Grocer,  have a quick quiz during a long haul drive to the hometown. Reward success and encourage their efforts. But being too lenient, delaying the learning until it is too late will hurt thei...

      #     Its already the end of my primary school, and I had my graduation last Friday.     My friends and I kept laughing and crying during the graduation. At the start of the graduation, my friends and I were standing behind the stage to get our diplomas. Everyone was as nervous as if we were going on a roller coaster. Afterwards, we sang our farewell songs and everyone's   eyes  were full of tears as we sang on the stage. To lighten up the mood, the dancer in our school performed a beautiful and elegant dance. There were also musical instrument performances that everyone enjoyed. After all the performance ended, everyone had puffy eyes for all the crying we did. Then, we all gathered together and took our last photos. After the graduation, I said my last words to my beloved  teachers   and     fri ends  and  appreciate our very last memories together. It was a very heart bre aking moment for me to say goodb...
