Did your ds secure his dsa using this song ?

That's abit too cutesy for DSA audition, right? He did a classical piece. I have a feeling that they placed great consideration on the portfolio, not just the audition.

Strparent:

I am sure many of those who applied performed well i the HAST test and interviews, but it could be how much they really want to join NJC. And as we all know, most GEPpers a bit 'haotai', will mostly choose RI or HCI ( RGS or NYGH ) over NJC most of time.

they chose HCI & RI because these are SBGE schools. NJC has IP but is not IS and not SBGE

Of these 11 schools, 7 schools offer School-Based Gifted Education (SBGE) to cater to the intellectually gifted. They are:

Anglo-Chinese School (Independent)
Dunman High School
Hwa Chong Institution
Nanyang Girls’ High School
NUS High School of Maths and Science
Raffles Girls’ School (Secondary)
Raffles Institution
The other 4 schools that offer the IP are:

River Valley High School
National Junior College
Temasek Junior College
Victoria Junior College

\"hao tai\" does sound like a hokkien word which my grandfather used to scold me & my siblings when we were small, for being.. well.. stupid (not that we were, but in his eyes lah!).

why does strparent call the GEPpers \"stupid\"? thot this should be the last word one would use to describe the GEPpers?! :scratchhead:

ya, maybe strparent meant \"haolian\" but typed wrongly as \"haotai\".. but \"haotai\" definitely does not mean \"haolian\" as, once in a while, i still hear older folks use this term to reprimand people for doing stupid & silly things.. and yes, vlim, it is indeed a very OLD word used only by very OLD people! strparent??? :siam:
