Last month was the time we had to register Lincoln for a place in Primary 1. I had wanted to try my luck registering him in a good (or rather, "famous") school, the choices being Radin Mas primary school or Alexandra primary school. I thought that being born in a tiger year which is not a very popular year, he might have a good chance to get into either of these famous schools. (I don't know why I kept on typing "famouse", I guess reading Geronimo Stilton books with Lincoln really got into me!!)
When the phase for his registration was about to start, I was very hopeful because there were quite a number of vacancies left in each school, between 16% to 20% of the total available vacancy. However, by day 2 any hopes to get into either of those school were completely dashed. They were oversubscribed.
