it was a lifetime experience...

The last one is who?

[eddiechan]

daddy707, you are right, my mind was blank until my daughter’s no. was balloted.looking at those not so lucky ones wasn’t a nice feeling too.

[daddy707]

sc88 : The last number called was actually 0001.

Eddiechan: true, my neighbour didn’t get it and the feeling was really bad.

Mee too joining here.
My DD got in.
It was nerve-wracking experience. :faint:
Last one was Ballot ID 0001 and it was twins.
Actually, they only got in cuz last ballot picked before them was 2nd ballot of the child who already got a place.
I wonder how these parents feel... ?

Good thing the twins were picked last, that means the school needs to create 1 extra palce for the 2nd twin. Can u imagine if the twins were picked earlier and occupied 2 places, many parents will be very upset.


amk,
welcome!!! Thinking of letting DD join any of the alumni activities? There are art, dance, martial arts and dunno what else…

My friend went to ballot in NCPS and before the balloting starts , they will show them their childrens names and ID number on the projection (Either 1 or 2 slips ,one top and one bottom).,then fold in one by one .

She told me that she thought she saw ID 0001 was given 2 ballot slips. She said that she thought the principal told them that twins if chose go in together can only have one ballot slip(Both names on one slip). :?

Anyway, I think she is lucky as the slips being pick up was the first slip( it shown No.1 of 2 ), if not maybe because of the school error, she will be disqualified for this case.

The school didn’t make any mistake here. According to MOE regulations, twins have e option of balloting separately or together. For citizens, it means 2 ballot slips EACH if they decided to ballot separately, or 2 ballot slips with both names if they chose to do so together. The difference is if they do so separately with 4 ballot slips, only e one being picked will get in, unlike e 2 ballot slips option where both will get in if any of e slips are picked. So in this case, the parents opted for e latter option, and got it. Fair & square, it seems.

Thanks for the info. Worry for the parents...

Although I didn’t experience the actual balloting situation, I can imagine the excitement atmosphere over there.


My heart really goes to those parents tat did not successful in securing the seat. Yesterday I received a call fr my friend n she didn’t make it in the balloting. In the last balloting, she didn’t make it in P2B. Can imagine the double disappointment really hit her like a ton of bricks. I hope she can get into AGPS in 2C supp.
