Bummed
I was pretty satisfied with my L1R5 for prelims until Mr Eio informed me that ACJC only accepted people with 9 points for prelims last year.
9 stupid, stupid points.
So I went to check out the other JCs, like Anderson and St Andrews.
I was telling my mom, “Mummy! SAJC is damn near! It’s like, right next to ex-Pasir Panjang ITE leh! YAY!”
Sigh. Little did I know how outdated streetdirectory.com was.
Stupid, stupid streetdirectory.com. SAJC moved to Potong Pasir last year.
How can that website not be updated for a whole year?
Then I checked out Anderson JC.
Surprise surprise, it’s in the north of Singapore as well, Yio Chu Kang.
That’s practically the other side of the island.
So then I got pretty bitter by the fact that all the good JCs seem to be located in the north or east for some inexplicable reason.
Let’s see what we have in the West… ACJC, National JC, Hwa Chong, Jurong JC.
2 of which are obviously unattainable, 1 of which is the butt of all JC jokes all the time, and the last one which only accepts 9 points for prelims.
Thanks a lot, MOE.
Speaking of ACJC, I know it’s very typical of me to complain, but the open house was kinda bad.
Liz, Eunice, Dee and I had no idea where to go when we entered the JC, we just kinda wandered around until someone gave us a goodie bag (which included stuff like Maple Story and a whiteboard marker) We left just a couple of hours later, that included sitting at the void deck and talking for about half an hour.
Maybe I had high expectations, because everyone keeps saying how enthusiastic ACJC students are, but I think the only truly friendly student I met was a girl in the IT club. The others seemed a bit aloof.
On another issue, grad night.
Guess what our theme this year is? *sparkle**`GLITTERZZZ*/^% *sparkle shiny*
Actually it’s Glitz’007 (the Z is a 2), but that’s basically glitter right?
Also, I see some friends blowing hundreds of bucks for GlitterZ Night.
I can’t believe they’re blowing hundreds on a few hours of their life.
I think it’s pretty unfair to your parents if you spend so much money – money which you didn’t even earn.
Sure, it is a special night and we deserve to have at least one glam day before we graduate, otherwise all our friends will only remember our sweaty, exam-stressed faces in school, but isn’t spending hundreds of dollars a little too extreme?
But well, whatever.
