      Ler:
      Yes , every room have one ceiling fan ( in between the children bed)

      Hi, Ler. You very funny leh by referring to \"in between the children bed\". Makes me wonder how small/big the beds are :lol:

      I just came back from Harvey Norman, bou a table fan Booney mini 3-1 electric fan 7 inches which costs $32.90. \"Mini 3 in 1\" becos it can be used as a clip-on, comes with a base the clip-on can attach on to become a table fan and lastly can be a wall fan unit. Only 2 speeds, quite quiet. From Midom Industries Pte Ltd, Singapore.

      Also bou a travel hairdryer BRAUN Cosmo 1000 watt $29.00 that comes in 2 temp setting Low and High heat.

      Now missing a table lamp. Is a table lamp necessary? Would the students do their sch assignment during the study period @ dining hall? Or should I get a night light just for light reading before hitting the pillow?

        I inferred from the notes given that there is a table lamp in the room. If not, yes, I would get a table lamp. But the notes say \"to use the table lamp and switch off room lights if your room-mate wants to sleep\". So there should be a table lamp in the room??

        What's the hairdryer for?

        I just bought a few mesh laundry bags in various sizes.

          The table lamp is classified under \"additional things that you may want to bring\".

          Hair dryer: he has very thick hair, I insist he must blow dry his hair after shampooing.

          Hv not bou the washing nets yet. Does your boy has clothes that colours run? I think he has to do his laundry in two batches - white and colour runs types.

              Got topics one har? Usually they just want to find out more about your child. Not standard questions. More like talk about hobbies, and pastimes, things they enjoy.

              I saw kids going for interview at njc today already (wed).

                Is that a feedback from your child regardng the interview? Is it a panel interview? wonder what's the chances of being offered a CO if you 're already been selected to Phase 2.

It was panel interview last year. I was just waiting at the carpark and saw little kids coming out with their parents today, and guess must be for interview. Last year's interviews were conducted over several days too.

                  I'm not sure the chances? Among my friends and my ds' friends, some were totally rejected, but got in in the end with psle score, and some CO, and some waitlist (but got confirmed on psle results day - they put njc as 1st choice).
