okie, i noe i have been bloggin very often these few days... tt is a plus sign rite??? haha..
okie, today i finally saw the last of auto cad test and Digital Electronic lab test man... phew... at least now i can take a breather till tml's financial management and critical reasoning skills test... so all da best to me tml man...
and to all those who caught virus from me via MSN ytd, would like to say apologise for tt man... though i really dun wanna it tt way, who does? haha... but if u are clueless on how to CURE ur com, guohui is offering free services man... haha
and btw, friendster is having their own blog space for bloggers man... but hey, i love http://guohuilist.blogspot.com too much le, so i ain't gonna migrate over... i guess i just gotta stay loyal to my very own pages here... so stay tune for chp 80 and more dudes...
ok ok, for the benefits of all those ppl asking me abt life in poly, i shall share abt my experience here... okie, being one of the few peeps who actually went to poly after the Os, i was consulted by many to ask me abt the my life there man...
okie, after spending ard close to 1 yr at poly, here are some of my experience man... first pt of all man, for me rite, i have VERY LONG break time for my lectures and tutorial man... so gotta find ways to kill time.. longest break ever encounterd was a cool 5 hrs break... hmm, for me rite, i usually go to the FREE ACCESS labs to play flash games on sites like www.miniclips.com or www.mofunzone.com. haha... slacker rite? and more flash sites will be popping up in my life soon... or nt, will be out shopping with frens or countering projects...
okie, pt no 2 is the attendance thingy... though the rules says tha u will be barred for exams if ur attendance is less than 75%, the tendency is that many lecturers WILL not care a hood abt whther u are going for lectures... though attendance will still be taken... and the OTHER tendency is that one will skip classes and before we know it, a warning letter will be sent to our house, much to the dismay of our parents... i know of ppl like that man, rite? yong sheng and chen yong? haha... so it is really up to ur own initiative and discipline to make sure u turn up for ur lectures and tutorial... though wad u do in these class is ur own discrete ba...
discipline in class are also not as strict as tt in sec sch... at least for me la... in poly, no one really cares whether u are slping or listening to mp3 players man... so again, discipline really comes in here...
another pt is the tutorial part, if u dun really make an effort to do ur tutorial, u will actually suffer in the end.. coz most tutors dun really check whether u have done urs or nt... believe me, for me rite, i have yet to go for more than 2 tutorials for my PEEE this semester... coz the tutor is really those bo chap those type who will SMS in class de... these applies to many of my classmates as well...
food is yet a minor problem man... though SP has got 6 food court, i am actually running out of choices to wad to eat man... no matter wad u order, majority of the time it is.... *drum roll*
CHICKEN...
again...
haiz...
haha
okie, back to another pt... the transportation fee will really burn a hole in ur pocket man... train concession alone stands at SGD 45.. excluding bus rides for me... so my monthly transportation fee excluding cab fare stands at SGD 90 ++ man... tt is really ... $ #!&*#&!*.. moreover i am juz a student man... i noe some of my fren actually use their siblings's secondary / primary school's concession to cheat the way thru... for me, i have not reach tt scene..... yet...
okie, here comes one BIG problem..... clothes...
every morning, i will wake up to stare at my wardrobe... damn, wad will i wear today man... in the end, i have tried many different combi of my shirts and before it know it, it's time to shop for new clothes again... and that when i go out casually rite, i dun really make an effort to decide wad to wear le... haha... it is taxing on the brain man...
yea...
another pt... the lecture and tutorial hrs are flexihours.. meaning that u start ur day differently every day... and of course, ends differently... i can have lessons on monday from 0800 to 1300, 1500 to 1800... and similarly, tuesday lesson goes 1000 to 1200... fullstop... c the contrast...
yar yar.. i have come to the last part i wanna mention man... the reason y i chose poly over JC is because i want to experience something diff... wanting to expertise in one field rather than study general subject such as physics or F maths... also, i was also fearful that i will flunk my As with flying colors and not able to make it to a uni... this can be proven by my WONDERFUL results in sec sch... esp sec 3... if u dun believe, ask Mr Yue Lip Sin, the MAN who will i have to see every term break for extra study sessions... and the same man who made me promise him tt i will be in TJC or VJC after my stints at chung cheng... apparently, i disappoint him by going to a poly which he DUN really like that... also, i would want something solid to fall back on, a dependable diploma of engineering should i fail in my career next time... the idea is that most prob, i wun stick with engineering in the uni man.. but again who noes... so with all these in mind, i choose ELECTRONIC, COMPUTER and COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING in singapore poly... a broad based engineering course...
with uni now opening up more the poly grad, i see it as an opportunity as well as a reason for me to go to a poly instead of a JC...
but somehow there is a catch man... the government wants more ppl to get into a poly because a poly offers a life skill to the ppl.... being a service and manufacturing industries, we are always in demand for skill workers like those offered in the poly... tt's why poly are set up in the first place... hence to meet the supply for demand, the government is encouraging ppl to get into poly to get at least a life skill... for university wise in this case, they will nt want so much poly ppl in it... coz they will have to spend more to allow the poly grads to gain deeper insight into their field of studies... the government will rather want the JC peeps to get into uni coz they have NOT possess a life skills like those poly grads...
and did i forget to mention that a A lvl cert is nth compared to a diploma and a NITEC cert? so JC ppls MUZ get into the UNI to secure a lifeline in life... tt is whr i am nt tt keen to get into a JC.. imagine not getting into a uni after the 2yrs stint... and also nt getting a course of ur choice... for poly grads rite, u are most likely to continue ur jobscope of studies at the UNI unless u want a change of course...
but NOT all poly grads make it to a uni eventually coz of the situation i mentioned 2 paragraphs ago... of course there are some who do not want to get in... but some fuck up their studies and go straight to the job...
so it is wise to consider the pros and cons before switching from a JC to a poly...
i made my choice...
but juz to share one particular thing man... since most of my sec sch frens are in JC, there are time which i regretted nt getting into a JC... whenever there is a gathering, there are talks on how PW sucks and all but i wasn't there to experience it... somehow there is just a line of difference... and there are times which i rather put on a uniform instead of racking my brain on wad to wear... and the discrimination by some JC ppl who look down on poly students juz because of the status manz... oh cmon, do they even noe that ther are many JC eligible ppl ard in poly nowadays... and the holiday thingy now for poly and jc are poles apart man... completely different... so it is rather diff to meet up rather often and go out...
yeap, i guess that is abt it... shall continue on another day... i'm getting slpy...
yawn
