...so good to receive the PSLE results for Jon

We (family plus Oi Lin and Fong Oi) went to Perth for the weekend holiday. The PSLE results were to be announced during the trip but we thought there was not much to it. So we tasked Lai Fong to collect the results on our behalf as we have already submitted the choice of secondary schools. To our surprise (pleasant) Jon did extremely well - in fact he topped his cohort at Radin Mas. As a result we had to fill in additional forms, etc - so there was a mad rush to get the forms completed from overseas and re-select the schools, etc. Connie and I are glad that Jon decided to choose Raffles Institution (our alma mater!). He also received the Edusave scholarship which meant we only had to pay $12/- monthly school fees though RI had gone independent and would have cost $200/- per month. Life is so good!
