CCA allotment

Finally, che-che's CCA allotment is out. Happy that she got her first choice - Interact Club. 

[ Her choices were 1st --> Interact Club. 2nd --> Shooting. 3rd --> Band]

At that time when she went for both trials, immediately she told me she feels she has no hope for shooting coz' they choose very few people and she didn't do well. Hmm.... in other words - cockeye lor! Haha!

My concerns was why was Band in her option coz' if she didn't get either first 2, it's more likely that she will get her Band. But she did explain she had to put something she was confident she could pass the trials, otherwise she may be posted to something which she don't like or worst with the heavy time commitment that I/she was trying to avoid. 

She thought she wouldn't be able to blow her saxophone when she went for the trial coz' as she explained to me she hasn't touched sax for a year and she has her braces now. But she was surprised that she could blow. Amongst the sax J1 students, she's the only one who could play both alto and tenor sax, so I thought she might stand a higher chance in getting in. The teacher found out which secondary school she was from and immediately asked about Mr Sim. He has earned himself quite a good reputation. 

   

We've been waiting for this news for 2 weeks, at the same time she had to go for Band practices as she was also shortlisted for Band. I guess she was also beginning to enjoy band coz' she must have felt her hope of getting her first choice - Interact Club - dimmer. RI had their CCA allotment news so much earlier, this goes to show how "efficient" her school is. Nevertheless, this was a good surprise as recruitment number is relatively limited. And they having the need to do a write up, trying to convince teachers why they should be recruited. I thought my girl is not the kind to know how to hard-sell herself kind.

Finally, with this allotment, I know which days she is free. For weeks, she's been missing piano lessons on Mondays (Band CCA day). I can also do my menu planning.
