Homeschool Concert: Potpourri – A Morning of Stories & Songs
Posted by DAVID BC TAN under: Announcement; Extra-curricular Activities.
Here’s a fun morning you don’t want to miss. It’s a homeschooling concert staged by homeschoolers and you are all welcome to join in the fun. Homeschool mom Siew Hoong who’s the brainchild behind the concert, writes:
“Concert participants range from 5- 13 years old. There will be skits, songs, readings of original writings and a dance or two. Like most homeschool events, expect to see the unfurling or young talents, lots of laughs, some errors and heaps of enthusiasm! Do come and watch these children put up a good show. Come and cheer them on, fellow homeschoolers!”
When and where: Nov 13th, from 10.30 a.m. – 12.30 p.m at the Dream Centre, PJ.
Please email Siew Hoong at childofnarnia@yahoo.com to confirm your attendance, preferably before the 5th Nov. If you need directions or a map, click here.

The Actors Studio at Lot 10!
Posted by DAVID BC TAN under: Announcement; Event.
For those of you who may not know, The Actors Studio has been given a new home at the Lot 10 rooftop – thanks to YTL Corp. Lot 10 – (again for those who do not know) – is just across the street from Sungei Wang Plaza and here’s the map.
Apparently the newly designed theatre has been described as a “forest in the city.” You can read about the new theatre launch here. An earlier story in YTL’s Community newsletter with a few photos of the site is found here.
To get a feel of the spanking new 250-seater theatre on the rooftop of Lot 10 Shopping Centre, now’s the time to pay a visit. For the whole of this week, TAS will be offering FREE performances. I’ve listed the full programme on our NOTICES (October) page.

A homeschooler adrift…
Posted by DAVID BC TAN under: Announcement.
PUBLIC TALK
A Young Man and the Sea
By Ethan Tan
Date: Saturday, October 10, 2009
Time: 3:00pm – 5:00pm
Location: Kota Kemuning Buddhist Center (KKBC, BMSM Shah Alam)
26 (2nd Floor) Jalan R31/R, Shah Alam, Malaysia
Directions: See Google maps
KV and Wai Leng Soon of MALHEN have invited 18-yr old Ethan to talk about his homeschooling experience.
Ethan has been homeschooled by his parents all his life and he’s spilling the
beans on the only upbringing he’s ever had – unschooled, unsocialised, and
deprived of “an environment to associate with other children where they will learn to
communicate, understand different kind of people behaviour, concern for others,
live with others, handle relationships and etc..” (in the words of some
concerned parents)
Early this year, he applied to join a missions exposure programme on board the
ship LOGOS HOPE, which was then berthed in Denmark. He flew to Denmark on his
own and spent 6 months traversing the seas and 11 European cities. In this
presentation, he talks about being a homeschooler and how his experience abroad
impacted his life.
Everyone’s welcome.
His parents are understandably nervous.

See you on this blog!

I’ve been delinquent in managing incoming emails and requests for subscription. Some of you submitted forms. Sorry. But I finally got around to doing it and so if you’re reading this after receiving an email alert, it’s because I’ve put you on our list. At last. Don’t worry – I’m not selling you anything. However I am an advocate for homeschooling, so my thoughts will appear to be somewhat heavily skewed in favour of alternative education. You will understand that I can’t apologise for that. <wink> If you think you don’t want to receive further updates, just let me know.
Until then, have a great day. May your adventure in alternative education be a fun-filled one!
