      DD was asked in Chinese for this question. As the question was directed to her only, she had to speak & din hv time to sort out her thoughts. I remembered her telling me that though she was not very fluent, pausing to think in between but her answers was something like that : 乌鸦尚有反哺之义, 何况是人呢我重视他们的意见...(the rest in chinese abt thinking it through with parents)

      Sry she koon liao, can't get exact answers at this moment...Hope that bit helps! 😄

      wa....so chim! what it means huh 😉

      😄 It meant something like that :
      Even crows will know what is filial peity, so humans shld do the same. I need to to consult my parents & think it through before we can come to a decision.

      & the VP still continue to press on her : which are you more incline to?
      DD mentioned that she had no inclinations at that point of time as both schools hv their astounding strengths that are great pulling factors....( all said in chinese) :shock:

            I think she meant that she will respect and will take her parents' opinion into consideration when deciding on choice of sec sch.

                  [quote=\"Funx3\"]Hi cestmoi,

                  Can U Check With your Gal ....
                  What is her Ans for, \"If You Receive CO from RGS and NYGH, What is your 1st Choice?\"

                  DD was asked in Chinese for this question. As the question was directed to her only, she had to speak & din hv time to sort out her thoughts. I remembered her telling me that though she was not very fluent, pausing to think in between but her answers was something like that : 乌鸦尚有反哺之义, 何况是人呢我重视他们的意见...(the rest in chinese abt thinking it through with parents)

                  Sry she koon liao, can't get exact answers at this moment...Hope that bit helps! 😄

                  Is that her ans for NYGH? (Presume So, since it's in Madarin ....)

                  Actually we K-po try to Figure out if your Gal mentioned NYGH as 1st Choice in her reply to RGS Interview ....
                  Above Q is Actually from My Gal .... 😉 😉[/quote] :rotflmao: hahaha, those questions were asked by NYGH. As for RGS, the interviewers din ask her those questions. They were smiling, nodding their heads & eyes widened at some of her answers that she had given. DD was sure that she had made an impact on them positively but dunno why she is still not chosen eventually...

                  Btw, after breaking the news to her, DD felt that although she felt disappointed that she was rejected by RGS but she shld not be so selfish as to hope for a CO from them as she now prefers NYGH. She said that she wld be hogging someone else's chance if she was to be given the CO. That brought a smile to our faces & closes the issue totally. 😄
