給各位失落於面試的03年家長

kaifu

I believe the majority of parents have been disappointed by the latest interview results.  I could not sleep all night after learning at the midnight of Oct 8 that our son was not successful with the Ying Wa application.
But I want to bring you all back to the collective memory which is unique to all of us.  Five years ago, when the whole city was under the attack of SARS, a disease not even understood by the doctors, no one was more scared and concerned than those who were expecting their babies throughout that year.  Did you wear an N95 mask to the clinic for checkup?  How did you feel when you were about to deliver your baby at the hospitals, places where all SARS cases orginated.  No hosptial visits were allowed and your husbands were not allowed to go to the labor room with you.  No friends or relatives dared to visit the baby after he/she returned home, and no 1-month celebrations for most of us.  Thinking about the scares and worries at those times, what we experience right now is really nothing.  In fact we should be very thankful that our kids are growing up happily and now this is only a small milestone in their lives, although it seems like a huge challenge for the parents.  
After watching our son going to all those interviews, we noticed that he has grown up a lot.  This is perhaps the biggest prize we'd ever had so far!  
Cheer up, all parents of "SARS" babies.  Let's move on and help our kids go through the remaining interviews happily!

Exactly, same like what my daughter experienced last year. Yet, God has arranged the best for us.

Hi kcjcmama,
Thanks very much ! I will not give up.
Your gal is really small gal!
We are waiting for the last one, if fail again, will go to central allocation.  No matter which school she will study, we will support her.  She is an valuable gift from God.

And now . Let the weak say “ I am strong”,
let the poor say “ I am rich”,
because of what the Lord has done for us.

Thanks a lot for all your sharings.

I delivered at the end of Mar 03 in QE.  I did not know what was SARS at that moment.  On my son's birthday, "To Tai Garden" (sorry I don't know exact name) Block E was blocked....  I even did not know how serous it was but I do felt the terrribly atmosphere when we came back home on the second day of my son.  We even did not go out in the first 3 months except to health centre.  

You all are right. GOD let us overcome the very hard period 5 years ago.  We must be strong enough from him to handle all the difficulties.  Trust him and he will do the rest for us.

God bless you all and me.

I strongly believe that every child is a gift from God. He/ She is unique and with his own talent in different areas. Interview is just a tool for school to select the type (ie. presentable, lovely appearance, outgoing etc) they want. Thus, since my kid is very shy and sensitive to strangers, I am not surprise that she cannot fit such game. God must arrange the best way for my kid I believe.
So let's cheer up!

Yes, no matter which school our kid studies, mom & dad are still the most impt for his growing up.  And knowing God is blessing him, He must prepare the best for him, even though knowing there may be ups & downs, perhaps that's the challenge & drill for our kid & us to face together, such that a better future is awaiting us.  I still believe entering a good school is just a good start, haven't entering such famous school is another start only.  Family is still impt as we can nurture him under God's supervision, even another start can lead to a fruitful ending.  May God bless our kids.

你寫得好好呀!令我諗番起03年咁嘅事都能夠過去,而家intview衰咗都唔係d乜嘢事,不過我開頭都好唔開心有幾晚瞓唔着,係度諗我個仔都唔係咁差! 點解唔收我個仔呀!而家睇完你哋寫d嘢,我好好多啦!

My girl is unsuccessful in TSL & GT & I think because of she is "small girl".  Anyway, I will take it easy.  Nothing can be worser than SARS.  SARS year baby & parent will be strong enough to face any difficulty.

SARs is a terrible experience for our 03 babies and parents. It is the eariest and special challenge to us from god.
But we must remember that it is a long competition to us as "The Tortoise and the Hare" story. Never give up!

因為正值"沙士". 健康和開心,是我生下孩子後,對他的第一個祝願.
給他"健康"--我選了以母乳餵他.
讓他"開心"--我揀一間適合他的愉快校園,多於揀一間眾人所追捧的名校.

Thanks LS+MCS's encouragement.  I don't have good luck in applying the DSS school and I need to wait for the lottery.  Hope the luck will come back to me finally.

Fully understands the worries and feelings of all parents as I went through the same sickening allocation process last year. It lasted really for more than a year ! My daughter didn't get any back up schools but finally managed to get to the one that we wanted in the very last round of lucky draw. So, you can never tell. Just keep on moving and wish you all the best !

題外話，
為什麼很多人喜歡說03年是因為sars而出生率下降，所以考試一定容易很多，其實03年出生的bb大多數是媽咪在02年有口左bb的 (懷孕不是要9個月又7天嗎?)

誰能預料03年會爆發sars?如果早知的話，也沒有人會選在 ...

因為每年的下半年為出生高峰期, sars 於3月爆發, 我便是當年聽到新聞話威院有肺炎, (當時未知是sars) 我連qe也不敢去做產檢...我的bb在11月出世, 所以經歷了整個sars 的折磨....

thank you very much for sharing, really touching, can't help shed tears...

remembering those difficult days during SARS attack, the loss in the recent interviews are no big deal.

God Blessed us, the mothers, and the children in those days, and surely will Bless all our children to a suitable school.

Hope all 03 boys & girls enjoy their coming primary school life!
