UNIVERSITY ADMISSION
JC students deserve priority
POLYTECHNICS lure students with glossy brochures and spiels about their fabulous courses, but fail to tell them how difficult it is for them to enter local universities via the poly route.
How many 16-year-olds will forgo sexy-sounding courses like communications and finance over subjects like physics, chemistry or mathematics?
Ironically, these polytechnic brochures often boast of how many of their graduates enter university. But they are silent on the reality that employers value degrees more than diplomas.
Polytechnic graduates cannot have it both ways. They must know the Government spends more to train a polytechnic graduate than a junior college (JC) student.
So they cannot expect a second bite of the cherry with the same priority in university admission as JC students who complete two years of school and hold only an A-level certificate.
Polytechnics pride themselves on hands-on training while JCs arm a student with more in-depth grounding in core subjects to prepare them for university.
To JC students, university is and has always been their final destination. To poly students, their end point, in Singapore at least, should be their diploma.
If they want to go beyond that in Singapore, they should choose the JC route. If they do not qualify, it is not the Government's fault.
Nothing should stop them from pursuing their dream overseas, but they cannot expect greater access to local universities just because it is costlier to study abroad.
A place in a good local university is a limited resource and should go to the most deserving; in this case, those who qualify for JC and have consciously decided to take the JC path to prepare themselves for a university education and not a diploma.
In the past, a JC education was called 'pre-university' education, and it is precisely that.
So it is time polytechnic graduates accepted the implications of their decision to choose between polytechnics and JCs, and not gripe that the system is unfair.

I can't believe this guy! He is so........head stuck in the clouds. SERIOUSLY!
How can anybody even write something so offensive, snobbish, and ignorant! Polytechnic should be the end point?? University should go to the most deserving?? Who are you to quantify who are the most deserving people! Just because people go to JC, so they're more deserving? Well, I come from a JC, but I don't see how much more deserving I am to get a place just because I studied a bunch of so-called core subjects that served little purpose to help me through my university syllabus.
Seriously Mr Lee here, have you ever been to a university? Have you counted the number of people topping their cohorts every year? If things go by your most-deserving logic, could you kindly explain the substantial amount of ex-polytechnic students in the dean's list?
And I for one, chose the JC path, because what I wanted to study was only available in university, and not in polytechnic. And for those who chose polytechnic path, does not mean they do not intend to move on to university. What's wrong with honing your applied skills before going to university? I would say it in fact preps one more for university than JC. Why do you think some polytechnic students are allowed direct entry to 2nd year in university? If JC prepares us more for university, why don't they just allow all JC students to admit straight into Year 2??
So, compared to a person who has taken applied stats in polytechnic, and me from JC who took physics, how much more deserving and prepared am I to go to university than a polytechnic student?? I don't get where this chap is coming from, but he obviously has gotten his facts all wrong.
Yes, if JC students do not go to university, they'll end up jobless and useless after A levels. But face it, if you were the university admission team, would you choose an undeserving JC student who screwed up his 'A' levels just so that he won't end out there on the streets begging for food for the rest of his life, or would you choose a straight As polytechnic student already-equipped with relevant skills to continue a more advanced varsity education? So is the university meant to be some charitable organization that admits people so they won't be jobless for the rest of their life, rather than a place to further hone a person's strengths to a fuller potential?
Ok, I sound a tad like I'm putting down myself and other fellow-JC people. But isn't that the reality? At the end of the day, I can only say most JC students only fare slightly better in language as compared to polytechnic students (and it's not even always the case). I don't feel polytechnic students fare any or much worse in maths, science, or other arts subjects (well, depending on whether their module was arts- or science-oriented).
More importantly, polytechnic students have gone through 3 years of varsity education already, and while JC students come from a more rigorous/rigid/rod-learning environment prior to university. I don't see why polytechnic students should be valued any less than JC students, yea?
Yes, I do agree that a place in university should be given to the most deserving people. But please do not quantify a whole group of people blindly as deserving just because they come from a certain background. Open your eyes wide and remove those "colored-glasses" that blind you. There are more deserving people out there than that small little well you are looking out of.

Last day of school!
Haha i'm like blogging in the hss library now. It feels damn odd.
Just had my malay oral and was stumbling like all the way! Hahahaa. Lucky I s/u-ed alrdy :p So i'm damn free now coz meeting my spanish oral peeps at 2.30pm to rehearse and blah for the oral test later. And not unintentionally I bought nothing to study or do. And that explains why i'm feeling odd to be surfing fb in the library when everybody around seems to be studying or rushing some assignment or another. Haha.
It's the last day of school for me today! Well, excluding exams lah. Haha. And the last day of school started out BAHHHHHHHH bad.
Train got delayed coz there were some track problems in Tanah Merah. So it stopped at Tampines for like 15min, and another 10min at Simei, before I decided I should just go get a cab coz i'm gonna be late for Malay oral. So I went down and saw a whole mob of angry people headed by one gungho alpha male shouting angrily at the control station people. Well, I probably would have stayed to find out more about refunding if I were not rushing for time. Hahaa. Anyway, I walked out of the MRT station, and everywhere was swarming with cabs, cabs with passengers -.-''' And everywhere was swarming with people waiting for cabs. So I had to walk up further and walk and walk for like another 10-15min before I managed to flag down an empty cab. And then I wasn't really prepared to take a cab, you see. So when I reached NTU I wanted to pay by card, only to realise the cabbie had no nets visa masters whatsoever. So I dug out all the cash I have, and was...10 cents short of the cab fare. -_-''' Haha cabbie uncle was nice enough to let me off, but I felt damn paiseh!
Yes, that was how I found my way to my last day in school. Hahaa. Ok, shall prepare to go off for my meeting now. Hope the spanish oral goes ok later! Never s/u this time cannot play play liao! Hahaaa.
Meeting lovely tonight, yay! Happy 28th month, darling! :)

(I can't think of a title).
Haha i'm here again, when i'm escaping from work as usual! :p
Supposed to be writing my spanish oral script. =X
Anyways, Malay test was over yesterday!! That marked the lastest test i'm ever gonna have in my entire university life! Well, excluding examinations of coz. And err, 1 more listening test, and 2 more orals next week. Haha. Every semester, towards the last 1-2 weeks, I would start cursing myself for taking language classes coz the bulk of the work's always towards the end. Hahaaa. Oh well, it's the last sem! :p
Well, for the last 3 months of taking Malay, i've been having issues with the teacher and needless to say, due to fyp, I haven't had time to sit down proper to revise my stuff. So i've been complaining endlessly about the horrors of it. And on Tuesday afternoon, after submitting my fyp, I finally sat down proper to start studying, and I suddenly realised it's so much easier than I expected! -.- Yea, I still have issues with the teacher anyway, but at least it's a self-studiable thing. Haha.
And the test was quite doable too anyways =X Bah. Alright, I feel so cheated of my s/u now. Hahahaa. AH well. I should stop studying too much for it and focus on my Spanish now. Lol. I ended up not s/uing it -.-
My spanish teacher's not been feeling well for the entire sem. So finally yesterday, she didn't come for class, and guess who came to take over the class? My levels 1/2 teacher!!! :) :) Gee, I missed her so so much!! Hahaha. I don't really have anything against the level 3 teacher; and in fact, I think she's really good, very nice and very dedicated to teaching us too. But I guess, it's more about being used to the past 2 levels' style of teaching already. Haha :p So I was soooooo happy during class yesterday coz somehow felt I could understand better lidat =X Ahhh. So sad, that was the last lesson already. Hahaa. Anyway, my levels 1/2 teacher REMEMBERS ME!! Wuhahaha.. Ok, it's no amazing feat; but imagine you teach at least 4 or 5 classes every semester of over 25 students per class, it's no joke to remember names ok. Hahaha.
Ok, i'm just trying to make myself happy. Lol. Righhhht. Shall go start my oral script. Can't wait for post-fyp steamboat with the manics tonight!!! :D Tee hee.
Oh yea, xian and I took odd looking photos before we submitted our fyp report. Haha. Shall upload them after taking more photos tonight. Hahaa. I didn't promise to upload them immediately by tonight though :p
Ciao!

S/U deadline today!! And i'm not decided about Spanish yet! How how how.
Have tried permutations of my gpa, but it looks like a pretty 50-50 thingy. Sigh. Why am I even taking such a long time to decide? Pondering on it for too long makes me want to revoke my Malay S/U as well =X Haha.
Help! Menolong! Me ayuda! Aides-moi!

Near the end!
Seems like Sunday's only the day I get time to blog.
Well, I'm finally not spending my Sunday rushing another report this week! *cheers!* Haha not because there's no report to rush anymore, but I have an upcoming Spanish test on Wednesday, so decided to dedicate a weekend for it, and continue rushing my report again after this is cleared.
Ah, I feel like I've been neglecting my languages this sem! =( Malay is needless to say, a total mess for me. So I've got it S/Ued already. Spanish is the one I feel very sorry for. I still like the language a lot but I can't seem to fork out time to revise it. Bah! Haven't did any notes for it at all since the first week of school, and it's now 3 weeks away from end of school! =X Haha I sound like I'm personalizing it! :p
Well, well. I'll try to study hard for this test just to have a gauge whether I should S/U this too =X Ayeee. I really hate to S/U something I like. Hmmm.
After submitting the previous report, the week ahead suddenly seems so..lax. Haha. Like overwork for the previous report liao (slept for only one hour on the submission day!), now too tired to do anything anymore. One more final report for FYP, two more language tests, two more language orals, three final papers, and it's graduation!! The semester just ZOOOOOOOOOOMed past again! O_O
It's really really fast. Aye. Three more weeks of lessons left only! That means you guys have only three more weeks to catch me around in school!! :p Hahaha. I think I'm gonna miss school, yet I can't wait to get out of it! It's been a very max-ed out semester, though I think I can safely say I've really lived my final sem to the fullest, and gained a lot :)
The past four years have probably been the busiest time of my life, and if I start to age very soon, it's no doubt attributable to uni life! The lack of sleep hours can probably accumulate to one year of sleep.. X_X
At one point of time I told myself I should stop being so involved in activities/volunteer/cca/research/work here and there. Did I really had to do so much to feel that I'm properly utilizing my years in university? But after I started working on my resume last sem, I'm really glad I did all that. Thankfully, I happened to be involved in all things that were quite relevant to my field, and I really enjoyed the learning process. I would say university life for me is meaningful because I got myself involved in this many different learning opportunities :) Not like my grades are like woohooo, but at least I'm experienced in many more things that grades may not acquire. Honestly speaking, even if I had abandoned all those learning opportunities and just concentrated on studying, I believe my grades wouldn't have been much better than they are now.
I speak like I'm old and reviewing my life. Haha.
I AM SO HAPPY SCHOOL IS ENDING!! WOOHOO :) :)
Haha attending my brother's graduation ceremony in a few weeks time! Mine will be in a few months time, and after that it's graduation photos time! Gorgor went to sign up photo-taking package just now when he collected his graduation gown liao. Yay! Excited~~ ^^
Ok, as usual, when I blog, it means I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing. Hahaha. Ciao!

When time doesn't seem to fly at all
It just struck me that last semester I was sitting in the school lab with my lovely, typing my Introduction and editing my questionnaire furiously while he did up his own FYP report.
Now that he's working and getting to spend his Sunday out, i'm still stuck at home typing my Discussion.
The crap about sighhh how time flies certainly is not significant and has low validity tonight.
Sighh. I wanna be out playing!

Sighh. I wanna be out playing!
New cam!
Ahhh! I SERIOUSLY need to work on my GP draft!! Have been procrastinating endlessly and my deadline for draft 3 is tmr!! :( Seriously hateeeee writing discussion! It's worse than intro! Hai.
Anyway, went to the IT Show @ Suntec ytd~ it was so terrible and full of ppl! Eeeek. Well, the only reason we wanted to go was to get a camera.. haha. I can't imagine how my brother goes a few times every year, I only had to go once and I feel like swearing off that place already! Stupid pseudo-muscular fat guy kept pushing, felt like whacking his head! And the human jam @ Citylink Mall on our way back to the MRT station was so scary~ it's like worse than after NDP lidat. Hahaha. Got stuck outside HMV for i think 15-20min O_O
Ok ok, that aside, deardear and i finally bot our shared camera! :) Haha, it's supposed to be our belated shared valentine's day present, but it was coincidentally our 27th monthniversary ytd too! :p So this present is very multi-purpose~ Lol.
No, we didn't buy a DSLR or something, it's just a normal digital camera.. haha. (my friend got excited when i mentioned i'm getting a camera tgt with my bf and thought it was a DSLR -.-) After much consideration and 2 hours packed within the crowd looking at many brands, we eventually still settled on the brand we were initially looking at - FujiFilm. Not a very popular brand, but we like its convenient and user-friendly interface and the meaningful functions! Other brands look prettier and have other fancy functions too, but we decided they were not of much use to us lah. So we eventually picked FujiFilm Finepix F72EXR. According to the chap, its a more limited edition model in Singapore, coz the original version F70EXR was out of stock already, so they imported a few hundred F72EXR just for this IT SHOW.. But anyway,we dear managed to bargain to S$339, with 2 free 8GB SD cards, extra battery, camera case, mini tripod, screen protector, and an ugly mickey mouse mp3 player (anybody wants?). Hahaha. So it's a very good deal!
Haha and so this was taken with the new cam later on the train..
And we went to our friend's house to play with their baby again! Hehe. He's 7 months old and uber cute! ^^
this photo looks very unglam coz our friend (the baby's daddy) was trying to make all sorts of silly faces and gestures to make the baby smile at the camera, and we all ended up laughing so hard (instead of the baby -.-)..so ya. Haha
And then I was made to read bedtime story to the baby~ Hahaha. The storybook is so cute! Disney's stories..then it really has like 1 short bedtime story for each day.. so when they bought the books, the person still tell them total got 366 stories, bonus 1 free story for them somemore! -.-''
Anyway, I learnt that Daisy Duck has 3 nieces called April, May, June. HAHAHA! I was so amused...
Ok, ok. I REALLY should get back to my draft!! :(
Ciao! Happy monthniversary, lovely! :)

Discover BOBO!! =D
I was on the shuttle bus into school today, and caught a very quick glimpse of somethingsomeone interesting on the lamp post... MY BOBO!! :D
Haha. Apparently the banners for this year's open house are up already :) As usual, like every other year, the slogan's Discover L.I.F.E. @ NTU, and then they would put one of Discover Engineering/Discover Sciences/Discover Teaching/etc.. on each banner. So MY BOBO!! is on Discover Arts, Media, and Social Sciences! (Haha, no link, but I think we have the longest name -.-)
Yea, the school is so sneaky! Tell her take photos for the HSS brochure or something only, never say put her up on the lamp post lol. So I turn sneaky too! I only sms her tell her the lamp post got her banner, never say my blog got her banner too! =x
WHEEE! My Bobo!! :D Haha. Ok, this isn't the one on the lamp post. I don't know why they put a different one up on the website, so I can't find the lamp post one!
Any freshie wants a tour around NTU? I am so proud of my bobo that i would gladly point out all my bobos to you! ^^

Zoooooom!!
...And the hols are over!! =(
How saddening~ I was still jumping around happily the week before after forensic presentation.. and now it's more than a week later, with less than 2 days worth of the vacation remaining, and I'm hardly checking things off my to-do list =X
Hahaa.. I could say that i've been playing too much. But then again, it doesn't feel like i've played alot either.. Working, typing reports, watching shows, attending talks and field trips, going gaigai~ that pretty up sums up my week! Guiltily, only one out of five items are high priority stuff waiting to be checked off in the notebook.
It kind of feels weird. Coz I just realised today this is already the last official holiday before my graduation, and I feel like I haven't spent it well on...resting? Hahaha. I mean, holidays are meant for rest right? So shouldn't we be resting more during our last official hols? =X
Ahh, we're less than two months away from the last day of school! So fast so fast~ And it's the third month of the new year already! I can't believe the time just passed like that! =( I must say it's one of the busiest times of my university years, but also one of the most meaningful times spent :)
Be it a pity or a good thing, 天下无不散之宴席! Good things must all come to an end. Let's make the best out of the boring last leap!! Sigh. Drawing the boring last leap as a parallel to the 宴席 is a totally bad idea; it's like serving almond jelly for the dessert of the 10-course meal, and still having to gobble it down! -.-
Hahaa so random~ i'm just tired ok. Plus I haven't blogged for ages! BAH.
Tchao! Happy holidays! =X
How saddening~ I was still jumping around happily the week before after forensic presentation.. and now it's more than a week later, with less than 2 days worth of the vacation remaining, and I'm hardly checking things off my to-do list =X
Hahaa.. I could say that i've been playing too much. But then again, it doesn't feel like i've played alot either.. Working, typing reports, watching shows, attending talks and field trips, going gaigai~ that pretty up sums up my week! Guiltily, only one out of five items are high priority stuff waiting to be checked off in the notebook.
It kind of feels weird. Coz I just realised today this is already the last official holiday before my graduation, and I feel like I haven't spent it well on...resting? Hahaha. I mean, holidays are meant for rest right? So shouldn't we be resting more during our last official hols? =X

Happy CNY!
I think any friend who knows me, whether from secondary or JC or uni, would know and have seen me with long rebonded hair for like the past (at least) 5-6 years? The question mark, coz I've been rebonding my hair for so long, that I've long forgotten when I started it. Haha.
Anyway, the reason being my hair's super wavy by nature. Wavy as in the messy wavy, not the pretty perm curly wavy. And I only rebond my hair about once a year, coz I don't wanna damage it so frequently..so usually when you see me during the second half of the year, the upper part of my hair would look like some mass of moppy lion. Hah, so I tie up my hair regularly too to avoid looking like the huge lion-looking dog along Orchard Road. And even if I cut it, it would still look messy, and worse coz it's not heavy enough, and gets even more wavy.
So, I finally got bored after many years..ok, I'm sorry it took me that many years to get bored, I'm obviously not too adventurous~ Yea, so after many years, can't beat the waviness, I decided to join it, and
PERMED~~~~~ my hair! =D
Woohoohooooo~ I think I quite like it so far (less than 24 hours only), probably coz I haven't washed or styled it myself after I came back from the salon. Wahaha. But still feel a little bu xi guan I guess.. it's the feeling that I try to imagine myself, but the picture that pops up in my mind is the straight-haired girl. Hahaha.... And I'm quite happily surprised that my hair is still so long even after I curl it! Yay!! Ok, sorry I'm still a sucker for long hair. Lol.
Right, I'm lazy and busy to upload photos, so you'll see me when you see me =P And I hope I don't scare the kids on Monday... =X
Back to the mountain of work!! I seriously don't know how I can get them all done before CNY! =( Will be heading back to my grandma's house again in Malaysia this CNY eve, so I guess...
HAPPY CNY in advance!! Have a good break, eat more, and collect more money! =D

And I realised it's really interesting!! Haha, Singapore has very good rehab program! Woohoooo. I sound like i'm so pro-singapore. Lol.

大多数二十多岁的男人处于他一生中最暗淡的时刻，没事业，没钱。二十多岁的女人正处于她一生中最光彩的时刻，她年轻，她漂亮。 所以20多岁的男人更应该珍惜在这个时候爱他的女人，因为她是用她一生中最光彩的时刻来陪伴你一生中最暗淡的时刻!
How seemingly true is that!! =P

Rights, back to GP. Urrgh.
BYEEEEEEEEEEES!

El fin de la segunda semana; El principio de un mal sueño.
Woohoo. Week 2 is over and the nightmare is just about to begin!
I hope i'm not catastrophizing;
- 3 weeks to submission of a messy GP/FYP Draft 2
- 5 weeks to a major presentation we have not much inkling about
Amongst a very scary Spanish class where everybody seem pro and a professor whom I am still not quite used to, much Spanish/Malay notes to write and homework to do, a slightly over 20-hours work week, much research to do, and meetings abundantful to come.
That doesn't look like a lot huh. It does look scary on my calendar though.
MUST SURVIVE!!!
必胜!
