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

I think she meant that she will respect and will take her parents' opinion into consideration when deciding on choice of sec sch.[/quote]Thanks Pen88n for helping me to explain the above!

:gloomy: Aiyo...today is such a wet & gloomy day!

Just recvd rejection email from RGS.. Scratching our heads why DD is rejected...DD is a mainstreamer, top gal in a neighbourhood sch, scoring above 90% since P1, has UNSW High distinctions & other awards, won at least two individual trophies for National Competiton in sports since P4. During the last interview with RGS, DD felt she had done her best & her classmate who was in the same interview as her, witnessed the interviewers being visibly impressed with DD & she congrats her for her superb eloquence & quick thinking. DD as usual in her humble self dismissed the praises.

Luckily, we hv set our eyes with NYGH ( of which a CO has already been recvd :rahrah: ) way before & there was just no deep sense of disappointment but full of WHYs huh? :?

Hi cestmoi,
Sorry to hear about it. All is not lost...Your DD has a CO from NYGH
and with her impressive academic and CCA achievements, I'm sure she'll continue to excel in NYGH. :ugogirl:

:thankyou: Tinklebelle!

Haha ....
Sista cestmoi, Today is Another Gloomy Day (Weather-wise ....)
We Too has Received Rejection Email .... but from NYGH ....

But we Have Expected this as ....
We Heard their T Requirement .... Loud and Clear During the Audition ....
My Gal's Dance Skills Pass ....
But Her Height, Unfortunately Not, Apparently ....

Well like your Gal cestmoi, my Gal has set her eyes on RGS (She can continue to pursue her twin CCA interest in Gym and Dance concurrently), So No Disappointment Issue ....

But We Got No WHY's about it ....
She is Just Genetically Not Geared up for it ....
Coz Mummy Here is Short -ma!

Hi Funx3,
Sorry to hear about it. Good thing your DD had her eyes set on RGS...
and the best part is she can still continue to pursue her interest in R gym & dance. :rahrah:

:hi5: Our DDs will be sch mates next yr.

Actually mainstreamers must perform extra hard and outstanging for the top ip schools' DSA process inorder to be offered CO.. So 3 cheers to the kids!!! :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:

:thankyou: vlim.
Frankly, DD was having a bout of bad flu when she sat for the final round in the GEP test during p3. If she had been in the pink of health & cld perform to her optimum, her DSA journey cld hv been mapped out differently. Though the family GP doc who has been seeing her since very young, pre-empted me that DD is gifted & to watch out for her... & when the crucial time came, I was like : what can I do, the flu bug likes her leh, keeping sticking on her! :rotflmao:)

:evil:

Is ok .. She has miss out only 3 yrs of gep and I believe she has enjoyed her past 3 yrs of school life too .. Next yr onwards she will be joining the rest of the gep kids in nygh! Maybe tt is fate ... :imanangel:
