It's more like a guaranteed bronze; understand some received bronze last year and they got into the special round. Congrats to all shortlisted candidates!!

DD said to me \"See?? Why u say I not as good as gege? I also can :boogie: :rahrah: \". Told her \"you have been luckier all along\"
Now she wanna bargain for 50 cups of gong-cha if she gets into the top. Anything I will also agree cos I know won't happen. But must still pretend pretend negotiate a little so that she feel better :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: To have a dream is good.

Congrats to all others too

Does it mean the child will get some form of 'recognition' when the child gets into the special round? What happens if the child does not perform well in the special round? DS got into special round and all I know is that he has to take another test next Saturday
