Very often, to downplay the impact of our abysmal grades for Project Work on our university application, JCs cite the fact that universities would not penalise students who have done well in the A Levels but did not achieve a good grade for Project Work. However, the air has been cleared on the issue, and if you have been reading the Straits Times Forum over the past two weeks, there has been many issues and concerns raised about university admissions and how Project Work has an impact on it. I quote the NUS Dean of Admissions on this issue in a letter sent in to Straits Times on the 7 June 2007 that "Because of components such as General Paper and Project Work in the UAS, it is possible that a student with three As may not be admitted to a course of study while another with two As and a B may because of different performance levels in General Paper and Project Work." So now the air has been cleared about the issue, we all know how much harder we have to push ourselves to ensure that we do not penalise ourselves further in our aim to gain a spot in a reputable university in Singapore.

Lets see..
I know i should be studying for the Mock Paper tomorrow but I just can't help typing this.
Lets do a rundown of how many months we have of formal school.
Its one week away to the June holidays,
Afterwhich we have 4 weeks to mug our asses off,
2 weeks of Block Tests,
Another 7 weeks after that to the Prelims.
Beyond that..
1 month after Prelims to the As.
And thats it!
Anyway, what i want to say is this. Love the school or hate the school, I think we should all put these negative things aside and cherish the last few weeks of formal school life that we are going to have. After 12 years of formal studying and day after day of slogging, this era of our lives is coming to an end very very soon in a matter of days. Cliche as it may sound, Chong had a point back then we he said that this is our last year that we are going to be in the same "community" with girls our age. And for some of us its only our 2nd year! But well thats the reality of things. So while you are digging your nose so close to your books do take a few moments to cherish the last few hours of school life cause you're never ever getting them back. Those retarded moments when you make fun of people and don't get killed on the streets, those moments when you looked like crap when you're stressed and you don't feel out of place cause everyone's stressed out too, those moments when you said the most retarded things to your eye candy only to realise what are stupid thing you have done, those days of lugging textbooks and TYSes to school, those days of going to CCA and hoping that it would end soon, those days of cursing your PE teacher when he asks you to run 2.4, those days of trying to pon school whenever there's a test, those days sleeping during lectures and most importantly, those EVERYDAYS that you get to spend with some of your closest friends. Beyond school where would you get that opportunity and privilege to see those people you hate or come to love every single day? So if you have survived reading this long post, I really hope that you cherish those minutes left you have of formal school life. Who knows by the time you read this your formal school life could end in a matter of seconds.

SAJC has done it again!
SAJC has done it yet again! 70% of As, Bs and Cs in the 2006 Project Work!
A truly wonderful standing against the likes of other JCs in Singapore. Truly the significance of our PW results reflects very much on the students of SAJC and the fact that the administration is overjoyed at the fact that the entire cohort passed and 70% of us obtained As, Bs and Cs there should be little reason for us to feel dissatisfied. So to those of you who are dissatisfied, disappointed and feel distaste about the PW results please do not be. Instead, we should all rejoice with the same mood that the administration is doing since obtaining results like these has already become something that they are proud of. To sum up this post, let us move forward and continue in the true spirit of our school - Up and On!
