Msg to O lvl kids, Poly-Life... and wad lies beneath it

Even b4 taking ur actual o lvl papers... the polys will be there to start attracting u potential students to their campus with glittering messages/slogans like "Poly life is so hip, no uniform!" ... "So many frens u can make there" etc etc... They spend thousands at open houses and tell u how great campus life is as well as the prospect of their courses etc etc...

So to those who juz finished their Os... dont be fooled...

If u think Poly life is gonnabe better den sec sch and itz all fun and games... think again...

i think a few chaps here like guyver3 can back me up on this...

I went into poly thinking it was gonnabe so much better den sec sch due to the fact that i wont be nagged at so much by teachers all the time as well as going into a field of study I was more suited to (dealing with computers and programs etc) and not stuff which r irrelevant to my future like History and social studies...

How wrong i was...

~ Life there is a small 1st taste of wadz to come in working life, u r mostly on ur own, u meet backstabbers, ** kias, lecturers who cuddnt be bothered to help, tons of workload and datelines to meet...

~ u meet few good frens there (thankfully i did, or not i would have been finished)

~ somemore but hard 2 explain...

btm line... hope u kids dont get carried away with tots tat poly life is gonnabe so much better den Sec... itz not... i think JC and ITE are better in terms of social-factor... Poly... Crap!...

Thankfully im taking my last exam paper nxt monday b4 i can finally say im Poly-student-no-more

frankly speaking, i agree wif majority things he stated regarding poly life. cos i had seen many students who scored well in olvl did badly in poly. Mr. Green

but if u get into uni via the poly route, u get an extra advantage over your peers from JC.

Prophecy_Master SG

i agree with what that kid say.

and i still say i am glad i am in poly.

the "training" is wad i need to go through, b4 i go work outside.

Pitot SG

He is a misfit in society.

People who do well in O lvl are the ones who mug damn hard. Which equals to nerd. Nerds look weird.

There is little to no group interaction in secondary school. You can just be a social outcast and do well for ur O or N level.

I am sorry but if you have a irritating mouth, behaviour or weird look, You aint gonna survive in this kinda environment. Unless you really know how to ( as they say in mandrain: zuo ren).

Thats just how the society is. Laughing

this thread is not meant to offend any poly peeps. but i hope it will serve as a warning to those who pin high hope in entering poly.

first year may be honeymoon as some of the modules r 'chicken-feets'. but come second year, u will face more tough competitions from FTs n those from JC who direct-entry. it will be a pressure environment n suddenly u may feel the heat among wif ur classmates.

n most students tend to be very realistic n look down on repeaters as they feel these pple might be bad influence to them.

here is if u r good in studies, everyone will worshipping u like their saviour but at the same time trying to backstab u. while u r weak in studies, no one will bother u.

motoway SG

it's ok la can prepare dem for uni life. Laughing

haha yea agree. The skill to socialise with ur classmate is part of poly test, you will need allies for your projects and presentations. Without them you are likely to struggle. I have friend who too active in cca and neglected studies and his classmate.

Yes, no more nagging but i can assure that you will missed the nagging by your sec teacher who can really help you. Unlike some poly lecturers who talk alot of crap and wayang which really in the end doesn't help much.

To sum up, in poly u will need learn to be more self-discipline, socialise and some other social skills.

Li4nGsteR SG

Haha, this is so true.

Perception SG

Totally agree to that post.

Low gpa = slack around

High gpa = chiong all the way unless you are super smart. even if you are super smart its sometimes useless. Poly is all about being hardworking.

798 SG

self-discipline is very important. but most important is not being-influence by majority of ur friends if they jio u to pong-teng n neglect studying.

it is important to mix wif correct company.

outwit, outplay, outlast....

SURVIVOR POLY Mr. Green

stellazio SG

Pitot SG

Laughing

Perception SG

actually i look forward to going to school everyday Laughing

but now i'm having my final days of my poly life Crying or Very sad

gonna miss the food there

798 SG

i dunno bout him. maybe he is a repeater or outcast who was condemned by his peeps?

but if u r in his shoe, maybe u will feel it's suck to be in dat kinda of environment?

one thing i dun understand is... why every sem, the class will change every now n then? resulting short-term friendship bond among students?

comparing to jc students, i am wondering how many of ex-poly students still in contact wif one another?

Deino SG

you gonna miss the food or auntie who sell the food? Laughing

Deino SG

they wan t you to be independent......

getting condemned is not a reason to saying that poly life sucks.....

he dunno how to bring himself up....

Lorry` SG

socialising is very impt in poly Laughing

projects all these shyt

Perception SG

no chio auntie leh....

best if got that aunty from the korean film ONCE UPON A TIME IN HIGH SCHOOL Laughing

stellazio SG

well must be.

but then again, as if repeating in a jc or anywhere else in an academic inclined class won't get you shamed. Rolling Eyes
