Yes! MGS here I come!
Balloting under Phase 2B <1km was scheduled for today. 32 applicants vying for 31 spaces in MGS. We got to MGS this morning around 9.15am for the balloting which starts at 9.30am. The atmosphere was very tensed as the parents sat very seriously in the classroom, waiting for the balloting to start. Instructions and the whole process was read out carefully at 9.30am sharp in case there are any disputes later.
We were assigned the number 8 which under normal circumstances will be a good sign. However, we had prayed very hard for this and was not gonna rely on some lucky number to get us to MGS. We were nonetheless happy that the number was on our side.
We were fortunate that our number was called halfway through the process and a heavy sigh of relief was felt between Mummy and Daddy. Daddy later said that he somehow felt that his job is now complete as our moves had all been worth it. We felt bad for that one family who was not successful in getting their daughter into MGS. Not sure if they are gonna try under Phase 2C but we reckon it won't be a walk in the park under Phase 2C either.
We are all thankful that our space in MGS is now secured. Even Nai Nai couldn't sleep last night as she was worried I might not get a space here and about what we would have to do next. I am looking forward to life in MGS as I have many friends there already, even WeiEn is there and she will probably show me around.
We celebrated Racial Harmony Day today in school. The children were encouraged to wear a different costume to school to celebrate the different race within our school. I don on a baju kurung which was given to me by Aunty Sharon which belonged to Jie Jie Sophy. A baju kurung is a traditional Malay costume which loosely translate as "enclosed dress".
Besides putting on a different traditional costume, we were also asked to bring something for our snacks and I was tasked with bringing soya bean drink which Daddy happened to know how to make. He spent about an hour last night making the drink which was very delicious. We finished it all in class.
I have reached another milestone in my life today as I had to register for Primary One in 2018. Mummy and Daddy think that MGS will be a good school for me as it is not so academically focused, instead they spend more time developing other aspects of our growing up years. As such, we have moved into Maplewoods which is right next to MGS, and together with Daddy's existing membership in Christ Methodist Church, we were able to register under Phase 2B 1km. We know it won't be easy even with these advantages as MGS is a very popular school.
Registration started yesterday but as Mummy was still in KL, Daddy decided to wait till she is back today to register together. They brought me to MGS to have a feel of the school while they registered my application. We found out that under Phase 2B, there are only 31 spaces available and already 28 have applied for a space. We were the 29th and if there are more than 2 after us, then balloting is imminent.
Unfortunately, we found out at today's closing that there were 32 who applied under Phase 2B >1km, which means we will need to proceed with balloting for a spot. Daddy was rather disappointed as we are now exposed to some uncertainties even though there is only a 1 in 32 chance that we might not get a spot. Mummy was more calm and feels that we will get a spot, with God's blessings.
We will have to wait till Friday morning at 9.30 to find out if we will indeed have a spot in MGS next year. We are praying very hard. To be continued......
