      I remembered my elder sister told me not to choose SCGS after I got my PSLE results because she said the uniform is sleeveless..... :roll:


      I kinda regret now, looking back, so I told myself that my kids' (future) choice of schools will not be restricted by the uniform.... šŸ˜„
      Then I was like your sister... I didn't choose SCGS because of its sleeveless uniform (I was ultra conservative!) even though I lived like 5 minutes walk away... šŸ˜‚

        Same goes for my DD even though I gave her a long sleeves apron that is more foolproof compared to the one from the school. Her uniform including PE t-shirt look totally awful now.

        Don't ask me how she does it... :skeptical:
        Guess one way to get around it is to reserve one set of uniform specially for calligraphy days. šŸ˜„

          Did you ever regret it when you had to register your dd for P1? (Assuming your have a dd)

            Did you ever regret it when you had to register your dd for P1? (Assuming your have a dd)[/quote]Hmm... fortunately not really. If I have all girls, I probably would have chosen SCGS over her current school, but fact is, I have a DS too, don't want to go through another round of P1 registration headache when his turn comes. We are staying within 1km of SCGS, and if we had wanted it, we could actually get in during P2B for DD.

            Maybe you can ask me again 6 years later... šŸ˜‚

              Good suggestion! Will do that if she still has calligraphy next year.

                    Happy Mama:

                    I wonder why NYGH must have their uniform sleeveless and the entire uniform in white. Not too practical for girls as they may tend to stain their skirts during their monthly cycle. For the top, white and sleeveless some more. See through never mind, still can peep in. :slapshead:


                    Could it be their heritage? I think there are a couple of Chinese schools which have all white uniforms too right? All-white is very impractical. Especially after a Chinese calligraphy class. šŸ™‚

                    I have friends who decided not to send their girls to NYGH because of the uniform. šŸ™‚

                    I saw an old class photo of my 80-year old aunt. The NYGH uniform didn't look any different.
