Thanks phtthp. I will not be using Statutory Declaration but will move to stay in his house. Any chance for 2C < 1km.

I believe if you move in and update your NRIC, you should be able to ballot if the address is <1km.

Thanks galaxyraider. How about NYPS? Which is a better choice?

Both schools will require balloting for SC < 1km.
If you rent / move to be within 1km, you will be tied down to your address for 30 months.
Unfortunately, the odds of you not getting a place in either of the two schools is probably higher than the odds of getting a place. Therefore, they are both bad options in order to 'try your luck'.

IMHO, if you are willing to spend real money and make all those efforts, you would want something that's more or less guaranteed - rather that try your luck with less than 33% winning odds.

Thanks Floppy for your advice

@floppy

Was wondering if you could also advice me. Am getting jittery about 2020 registration after looking at Dragon year results
I have just checked and my address happen to fall under :
1km to Taonan, 1km to Ngee Ann, 2km to Kong Hwa, 2km to Maha Bodhi
I have a boy and a girl so it’s not helpful if we go for Haig Girls (although i prefer Haig Girls).

Trying to get into SHHK to try for TNS and KHS but prefer Kong Hwa.
What do you think are the odds for phase 2B TNS ?

If you are not a member of SHHK at time of writing, I'm afraid you are working on a very tight timeline and most probably, the boat for TNS / KHS has already sailed away.
Refer to http://www.shhk.com.sg/faq-on-phase-2b-recommendation/ to use the existing FAQ to draw references for Registration Exercise 2020.

That said, 2020 registration exercise won't be as bad as the exercise for Dragon year or the SG50 year. 1km to Ngee Ann should still be pretty safe. TNS would require balloting <1 km while Kong Hwa / Maha Bodhi is a waste of your time thinking about them.

horse year and dragon year about the same birth rate. SG50 is higher than dragon.

horse year and dragon year about the same birth rate. SG50 is higher than dragon.[/quote]The Horse and Dragon Year birth rate is not the same.
Between the three (Dragon, Horse and Goat), Dragon Year is the highest, followed by the Horse and then the Goat (SG50), based on the official data for http://www.tablebuilder.singstat.gov.sg/publicfacing/createDataTable.action?refId=13273:
2010 - 35,129 (Tiger Year)
2011 - 36,178 (Rabbit Year)
2012 - 38,641 (Dragon Year)
2013 - 35,681 (Snake Year)
2014 - 37,967 (Horse Year)
2015 - 37,861 (Goat Year) - SG50
The difference between Horse and Goat Year is relatively insignificant.

Nonetheless, doesn't change the following opinion though:
1km to Ngee Ann should still be pretty safe. TNS would require balloting <1 km and Kong Hwa / Maha Bodhi is a waste of time thinking about them.

when its residents - it could be PR included.
the number doesnt changed that much to swing the results.
Year on year, it also depends on more whether girls vs boys or siblings (under phase 1) that will dictate/influence the outcome of the latter phases.

PS: your analysis on the options and wasting options is correct.
