Hubby n I were elated that Favian got a place in Nan Chiau Primary school! We were really blessed and lucky at the same time - cos i wasn't a volunteer parent and had to join all 190 applicants in the balloting scheme under Phase 2C 'vying' for a pathetic 73 openings...and thats less than 50% chance per applicant.

I reminded myself to witness the ballot at 9am this morning since last week. But becos we caught a late night movie last night, woke up late this morning and had to rush 2 kiddos to their schools....hubby only remembered about it at abt 930am! So we rushed back to Nan Chiau hoping to see the results and we were glad we did!

I went up to the hall immediately while hubby went to park his car. On the board were a total of 73 balloting slips and Favian's was the very 1st piece....I wasn't sure at first and checked the informattion on the slip over and over again...LOL
I must thank the parent who drew Favian's name with her lucky hands - and I hope her child got a place in NC pri too!

No words can truly describe how we felt at that moment. I urged all of you who wish for a good school for your children to be a parent volunteer to increase our chances of getting into a good school cos' I was kinda living in regret when I knew my child had to end up in balloting for a place in the school. I really count myself lucky and count my blessings too.

This will be the most meaningful gift I receive for this year!
