B3 the youngest boy is attending Chinese lessons with Singapore Media Academy or SMA. The location was moved from Media Corp in Andrew Road to Riverside Mall. The place is right downtown and carpark fee is exorbitant. The place is also dead on a Saturday morning. Downtown is also known as the deadtown after office hours.
The rent must be cheap for SMA. However they do not think of their customers who now have to pay higher parking fees while waiting for their kids. There is nothing to do while waiting. At least in Andrew Road, we can past time in the Thomson Road nurseries. At the Riverside Mall, it is like being thirsty in the middle of the sea. You are surround by water but you cannot drink the water. There are malls and resturants but none of them open in the morning when the kids are attending class. The place is happening only at night.
What to do? My boy need to supplementary Chinese class so that he will learn enough to do well in his exams. Guess I will learn to while my time in deadtown on every Saturday mornings.
