Congratulations!!!
Can share how was the balloting conducted like?

my experience was :

8.55am : Reached the school... illegally parked on the yellow line somemore
9.00am : Went into the school hall, and see tons of parents. Signed in beside DS name and sit down.
9.05am : Principal gave speech. Principal informed that there is a pair of twins, and if they are successful in balloting, they will take up 2 places...
9.15am : Parents took the name slips and passed to teachers-in-charge to be folder and placed into transparent fishbowl.
9.20am : Balloting starts......
9.25am : ...Ng Jordan... !!! Yeah!! (One of the longest 5 mins for me.. :p)
9.30am : Confirm the names on the board... Yes! iT'S THERE!

Quite an 'exciting' event for me...

Congrats to you JordanMummy. Yes you very much described the balloting experience.. It was definitely a nerve wrecking and exciting experience. I was more nervous than when I took my school exams!

All my girl's K2 classmates got in. One of them was the last name called ! Can you imagine how relief the boy's parents must have felt !

Ryes, it's good for you if you can start PV 2 yrs before enrolment, so you don't have to experience all these anxiety...

Congrats mgsim! Definitely luck was on your side today. Treasure and celebrate the moment, and then get down to business right away in preparing your kid for P1.

Thanks ChiefKiasu... yes the road is still a long way ahead.. am already preparing my girl for P1 since last year. She has been attending Kumon and I can see quite a lot of improvement in her maths and english.

Thanks too for this wonderful website. There are just so much resources here to tap on that I think will be useful for my girl !

Indeed, as the P1 Registration madness draws to a close, a new madness is starting again - PSLE and the preparation for Primary schools' SA2. I am very serious when I said that these are much more stressful than whatever the P1 registration can throw at parents. When you find yourself looking forward to school holidays as much as your kids, you know you have become part of The System .

KiasuParents.com is an oasis and a pit-stop for us jaded parents to take a breather and compare notes before going back to the grind again.

Wow…u are lucky to just be stressed for 5 mins nia!!!


I wish I will be so heng like u when it comes to my girls’ turn…
Kumon is good for their maths, english so so I feel.
