Allow me but then it may not be necessary. But lemme rant about it.

Why on earth that enrolling to a Primary One is such a big deal here. Like one child should be enrolled to the best school - and such school is so hard to target on if 1) you are not a citizen b) not a volunteer of the school c) no siblings enrolled initially & yeah…In short, am designed to be a loser —in fact am a Permanent Resident here.

Do you know why they compete for great schools?
Because they are under the impression that the greater the achievements a school had, the better it will mold one child. Call it sour graping, but that is partly true. Anyway, am not just any face in the crowd, am never part of the majority—I don’t intend to go with the flow given the least option I have. Oh yeah, am sour graping buddy but not to the extent of self pity.

Anyway, I chose to be simple, straightforward with my approach. I will enroll my daughter to the nearest primary school in my community whether I like it or not. Can you imagine—enrollment has started and my schedule being a PR is on the 2nd of August while the 1st phase started a month ago. And the remaining vacancies of my school of choice is 91. Welcome to the jungle of survival baby. Anyway, I felt that they are becoming too stiff about this — while I know this is serious business but heck, classes will only start in January and these are Primary kids!!!!

Ok, while doing this rant—- I ended up laughing to myself. Because I know that no matter where we are , our space is special!

Chy and playtime mode with Kuya Jang and friends!
