J was rather cooperative today. Knowing we are going for his P1 registration, he woke up and get ready w/o much fuss. Great effort Jarrett! We arrived at Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School @ 0740hr where my lady used to be a student there. We got into the school hallway and there are already several parents ahead of us. Almost got conned by an old security guard at the school gateway who told us we are too early for the registration. My Mrs PR skills darn good, hit a conversation with one of the mother almost instantaneously while waiting for the registration to commence. Soon after, the door to the eternal schooling finally opened.

I personally feel that is the parents' moods that stir up the intensity of the registration atmosphere rather than the registration environment itself. I saw a mother's dejection as she was rejected from registering cos she did not bring the original copies of the birth certificate and IC. Mrs overheard a conversation between a mum and her friend which goes like this....
Friend:"Hey, maybe you can see your old classmates here today!"
Mum:"I don't wish to see them here, if they are here, it will only indicate that they are ahead of me (in term of registration)."
As for myself, I sincerely hope that I can received the call from the school and no balloting is required tomorrow afternoon.
Lol. Such kiasuism probably can truly only be made and found in Singapore. Btw, J please don't laugh it off when u read this, cos when your time come as a parent, it may be far much worse off.
