Eric's Secondary 1 Registration

Eric seemed pretty much his normal chirpy self this morning. We reached Victoria Secondary close to 8am, not many people here yet as registration was at 8.3am. The school is 7-story high as land space is quite tight. From the namelist posted, a number of Eric’s friends, schoolmates and ex-classmates from Poi Ching had been posted here too. He seemed happy about that…..

Registration was fast. We proceeded to the Hall at 8.30am and were ready to leave by 9.00am. I could see that Eric is deep in thoughts…he liked the culture, environment, his pals are here… I can see that he is starting to have doubts about appealing to Dunman High. Yet, he is unwilling to forgo the chance to appeal….is this a pride thing?

Since the appeal had to be submitted at Dunman High anyway, I suggested to Eric that we proceed there and then decide what to do thereafter.

On the way there, Eric seemed back to his normal self : ) The bus journey was short, but the walk from the bus-stop to the school was s….o…… l…o…..n……g…………. : ( By the time we reached there, both of us were feeling so hot and sweaty!

I had greatly underestimated the power of appeal. By the time we reached the appeal counters, there were already 6 arch-files of appeals, with more streaming in! Eric decided to proceed with the appeal, so in goes ours too. Results will only be known after Christmas, hopefully before New Year. , looks like we’ll need to gear up for a mad rush this year-end…..
