My dear friends, if you aren't a doctor nor a lawyer, don't live in the posh areas such as The Peak or Repulse Bay, don't despair. Please take a deep breath now as you read. You will realize that many kindergartens, far from second choices, could provide a better experience for your kids. You’ll discover that you can be much more in control of the process than you’d believed possible.
In fact, I think the panic and excitement over kindergarten admissions is analogous to, say, half of Hong Kong trying to squeeze into the same hyper trendy nightclubs on a Saturday night. Sure, you want to go to DRAGON I or DROP and would love to brag to your friends about you standing next to a superstar, but really would you feel bad if you didn’t?
Wanna say good luck to you and I am certain you have done what's best you could for your child, so don't feel too bad if you have to resort to your second choice.
Btw, I presumed you already know that there's an aptitude test used by Kindergarten these days. I am truly amazed when I found out and that conveys you - I am not a mom.

HAH! I think we might be putting too much pressure on ourselves, whether it be mums or dads, or singles or multiples!! The key to advancement of our kids, and our future society, will not be grounded in the exact "brand name" school, but in the time and attention we have to spend developing, sharing and caring for our loved ones, young...and old (when we all get olders...somehow we get younger in our needs!!!!)...
