Double the blessing, double the happiness

Its a blessful day today.  Received two good news and we are very glad.

First news, got the official confirmation, ie. transfer letter for my new job. I am officially moved on.  My official transfer date is today and starting full time on new year's first working day.  At last after almost 3 months, its here.  Now I can concentrate on doing what I am supposed to do and do not have to worry about the other job anymore.

Second news, our daughter was selected to be one of the students who gained a spot in PTE Katok for her pre-U A Level studies.  This was before they knew the students' O level exam result.  The result may be out sometimes in February but today we came to know about it.  So these students were asked to collect the acceptance letters on 27th Dec and they will register themselves to PTEK on 12th January.  The criteria for selections were based on their qualifying exams and the school was confident enough that these selected students will get through with the exam and started their enrollment in Form 6 early.

Our daughter was elated!  This is her dream comes true.  She always wanted to study in PTEK.  Its a brand new school and located not too far from home, so I think its a good choice.  And whats even better, we do not have to worry about transportation anymore.  Now that I hit the jackpot of getting a job nearer to home, I could send her to school easily. 

There are some advantages of starting early, of course.  As everyone can imagine, there are thousands of students in Brunei who are taking their O level exams and when the results are out and students start to enroll to these few schools which offer A level studies, its going to be chaos.  Everyone rushes to go to their favourite schools and rushes to obtain their favourite subjects.  There may even be dissapointments when too many students selecting few favourite subjects. So by enrolling early, hopefully the enrollment and registrations and selections of subjects to study will be less nerve wrecking and less hussle.  Hopefully.

We are so happy with the turn of event.  Alhamdulilah.

This is the announcement with the list of students who were selected, and our daughter was one of the selected ones, so congrats Ayang.  Great job!
