Poor thing！ Speaking of it....we have not yet made our submission! :yikes:
Will do so when dd is back.

why wait for so long.....please key in asap...

THANKS, vlim!
DH is out of town & he was still in two minds whether to wait for S1 posting (since dd results has always been above 27X for the past few exams) & apply for RGS OR heck it & confirm the offers with NYGH as first choice & DHS as second. I told dd of ur dragonfruit story & she remained firm on her stand - NYGH. Initally we were apprehensive if she was buay song with rgs for rejecting her in dsa...BUT time passed & dd preference for NYGH grew more & more as she researched further. So after a final round of MSN discussion with DH, we decided to support dd & seal her fate with NYGH. The final button was pressed & she is as happy as a lark now! :rotflmao:[/quote] ..Congratulation cestomi..then NYGH is your dd's dragaon fruit ! :rahrah: :celebrate: :boogie:

Hi cestmoi, so your DD's also going to NYGH! I suppose as long as the kids are determined enough to make a stand, and their decision is a good decision, it would be good to support them.

It seems that there are still many choosing RI instead of HCI, RGS instead of NYGH. Why? It there something in RI and RGS that I am not aware of? Is it 越难得到的就越好？

For some the main factor is the high demand on HCL in both NYHG and HCI. Plus the Chinese culture and tradition. So kids just don't feel they belong there.
We didn't DSA for HCI at all becos DS1 simply refuse too.

Ironically some schools in our back up plan are SAP schools. Guess if reach that stage really have no choice.

Initially DS refused to DSA HCI as he is one of those die die must go RI type and also he was worried about the high demand of HCL in HCI.

But lately he said he wanted to put HCI as his first choice and at the same time to improve his chinese, thus we think the best place should be a SAP school. Fortunately we managed to convince him to DSA HCI as a back up. The advantage of being kiasu.

Today, he told me a few of his classmates who has multiple COs (and die die want to go RI type) put HCI as their 1st choice. :yikes:

Ngbrdad, I hope this is good news for you. Your son's WL is like a CO liao and you can abolish the back up plan already.

Hi Snow Crystal, DD's love for Chinese language & her long list of reasons that she presented to us just gave us no room to say no to her. :rotflmao: The initial reluctance from DH to agree fully with her was because dd's character & leadership abilities would fit her in the Rafflesian family. Nonetheless, she has to be happy as to where she goes.. So he gave her his blessings eventually! As for me, I am with NYGH from the start. Haha!

Well my DW was from the Refflesian side, so in a way DS1 is always caught in between.
