Thank you for the detailed decsription of balloting...
I can feel the adrenaline pump from here itself..wish all the parents out there all the very best!! :xedfingers: -
Hey we just returned from balloting and got a place for our daughter!!
The way the ballot was conducted was very similar to Singapore pools. Go to POMO during Toto draws 630pm! We been there before but the atmosphere was relax and fun.
Super relieved now. my wife and I never lose faith during the balloting.
As the ballot reaches almost the end, you can feel everyones’ angst. When our number was called out, I was mindful to hide my joy as I knew how everyone felt.
Any advise for RGPS culture, manners or best practices will be appreciated for mh daughter next year. -
Didn’t dare to be part of the excitement.
Was so elated when Ms Koh informed us that
We hit toto! My girl is in! And so will her younger
sis (dragon year boy!). -
:congrats: to all those who have managed to secure a place at RGPS.
By the way, can I check if anyone of you registered through the Internet for this phase & are living in west coast which is >2km & managed to get in? -
:congrats: to all who got in via Phase 2C.
Perhaps new parents may want to come forward, introduce yourself.
