Life Update

Hey Readers,

Today is the first segment about what has happened to my life so far. As you know, ever since i went on my End Of Year trip in December last year (which i still havent' posted half of the remaining photos. Will post in June), i haven't had the chance to post anything related to my life. After graduating from Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) with L1R5 10, i applied for Catholic Junior College. Of course, like all AC boys, i applied for Anglo - Chinese Junior College as my first choice.

Still, maybe a completely new environment may be good. I entered CJC, with only 10 people from my batch in the school. It was like Secondary One again.

I also got to experience an authentic JC Orientation, and made many friends in my OG(Orientation Group) 32. Sadly, none of them made it to my class 1T21, which was the combination of Physics H2, Economics H2, Mathematics H2, Chemistry H1.

Okay, enough with the academics, or else you all will die of boredom. Well, one thing you can take away is the life in CJC. I NEVER BEEN to such a good school library. The compound is huge! (Even i got lost in the first week.) I also NEVER SEEN such a huge Concert Theatre. It was twice the size of my old school's one.

Still, it's been three months since the start of JC. And you have to like the study-orientated environment. Still, standards are extremely high if you want to make the cut. Maybe for all those who are going to decide in the future, i can explain a little bit more to you guys.

Junior College
- Have to put in lots of effort
- 5 days a week, roughly 8 - 9 hours of school
- Makeup classes and Remedial are the norm.
- Must take H1 Chinese and have a subpass to get "A" Level Certificate
- Must take Project Work, General Paper and pass to be promoted.
- Must take NAPFA (National Physical Fitness Award) every year.
- More job scope in the future, jack of all trades.
- 2 Years


Polytechnic
- 3 Years
- More relaxed, depending on course
- Specialized in whatever taught,
- One year less in University as Poly covers part of the syllabus already
- 3-4 days a week, 2 - 4 hours of school, depending on course.
- Chinese is exempted.
- NAPFA can be taken in the last year (Year 3)

So you see, this is what O-Level Students face every year. Maybe this will help.

Hmm, maybe i'll talk about a manga review tomorrow...
