Hi All!


Was out the whole week, hence didn't check the forum.

I will be one of the 80 vying for 65 places in RMPS next Tuesday at 9 am.

We had initially wanted to register at Zhangde because the situation was still optimistic at the end of the second day. However, when we called up the school at 3 pm on 31 Jul, was told 37 vying for 35 places in the 1-2 km category. Eventually, we decided to stick to RMPS.

Hi Chipmunks!

Your number was 66? Then, we could have met each other, because my number was 64. Did you go with your husband? I went with my two kids. Don't know whether you recall seeing a very tall boy?

Well, wish us good luck in the balloting next week! :xedfingers:

Hi QMS & Chipmunks,

Nice to hear from you again! Thought you had MIA in the Bukit Merah thread. So you & Chipmunks taking part in the balloting of RMPS? 65 places fight by 80 parents? Like that the chance is like 81% where 4 places fight by 5 persons.

Wish you all good luck. The balloting can witness a not?
Heard someone mentioned it would be internally ballot?? Wow like that how to prevent “‘Kelong”

Hi Titank!

Thanks for your well wishes! Hope we will get in, and join you at the parent support networking group thread.

Yes, we are allowed to witness the balloting. Balloting will be carried out on 11 Aug, not 10 Aug. 10 Aug is a public holiday in lieu of National Day, which falls on Sunday. Balloting will be at 9 am.

Wow I think this whole week until the balloting day you have to keep on worrying. The balloting is being drawn by parents? Like that go pray pray (Depend on yr religion) see whether you can \"Zi Mou\" a not where draw your own number.

I'm actually quite curious. Out of the 128 who registered in RMPS, at least 40 are in the 1-2 km category. Why did the parents not withdraw their applications and register with other schools on the third day of Phase 2C registration, knowing that they will not even have the chance to ballot? They wouldn't have wasted their Phase 2C chance if they had withdrawn their applications on the third day and registered elsewhere. :?

Maybe RMPS never inform those stay at 1-2Km or beyond 2km to withdraw? it could be those parents hoping miracle to happen where still 1Km to 2Km have chance take part in balloting?

There could be some parents prefer to awaiting \"death sentence\" at RMPS knowing that just waste thier chance, they could be trying to plan in waiting list?

Hi Rena!

:congrats: At least you do not have any burden now, and what's more you are happy with your decision! Did you and your husband come to this decision only on the third day?

I am within 1 km from RM, and hence, will be taking part in the balloting. Thank you for your well wishes! I hope my son has the luck to get into RMPS. :xedfingers:

Hi mimishiku, I've registered at RVPS in earlier phases. Hope to see you at the parents network thread. Best of luck on 11 August. By the way, may I know the timing of the draw date.
