Thank you for the kind support XYZ1. 3 more days to the ballot. Nail-biting anxiety for sure. Can someone advise how the actual balloting takes place in PH?

1) Your child will be given a number on that day.


2) Balls containing all numbers will be dropped into the cage.

3) Turn, turn, turn till a ball drops out.

4) A card which has the same no. as the ball will be tagged (together with the ball) beside the no. of vacancy on a whiteboard.

Decided to remove the 2nd picture to prevent causing further anxiety to those who will be balloting this Tues.

PH’s balloting is not the paper slips in the transparent box method that we have been seeing in the news.

Is the cage shaken once in a while? Otherwise those at the sides may have lower chance of dropping out.

Scary,


No wonder I’ve been seeing visions of a globe-like devices lately … wait … I see two anxious faces, they’re making a beeline to the balloting room … they looked serious … are they tempura and sagacious?

Balloting done … they’re coming out now … oops … it’s turning foggy … squinting my eyes now … I see something … there it is … chicken wings … muahaha!

My colleague told me that when one’s no. is picked, it’s empathy to maintain a respectful, quiet demeanor [as much as we want to jump on the chair to express our joy]. He once witnessed 2 remaining parents balloting for the last seat. When the no. was called, the ‘losing’ mummy lost composure and wailed on the spot. So stressful. sweat

The P will invite the parents to put the balls in, to turn the cage, etc. You can request for the cage to be shaken if you find that there is this possibility.

Do make sure you go and do something to the balls, be it putting them in, turning the cage, etc. Wahahah . . . .who ah. . .the DH even kissed it!
