Sec VS Poly
As i was reading my previous post , my mind backtracked to my poly days @ NYP.
It was indeed the rolling school days of mine.
First the excitement that one can be finally relieved from the same old uniform (fades as the years go by) which we have to be stuck with for the next 4- 6 years. Pure torture it was!!!
Never ending school rules & regulations
No colored hair, ribbons, bras, strictly mud colors allowed.
Tuck in uniform ALL THE WAY IN at all times.
Tie your hair into a bun if hair's touching your shoulders
Sudden nail and hair checking during assembly period (peak period: after holidays)
No one is to cut across the school car park ( We all had to walk one big round just to exit from the school!)
Extra classes everyday in the name of study period or whatever it was called, doing 10 year series assessments till we fall asleep on our books.
Holiday assignments during every public holiday or school holidays
Bla... Bla.... Bla....
By the end of the day, I'll be so exhausted that i can hardly move a limb. Sec VS Poly
Physical Education
Sec: Always dreading it. Praying that there'll be rain till the very last min
Poly: No more physical education!!! That seemed to be a plus factor at that point of time, but over time, i realised i kinda missed it alot. Thinking about it now, i must say PE period was heaven, Playing badminton, table tennis, captain ball, netball, volleyball, rugby (still hate 2.4km thou :p) all that fun was deprived from us. Eventhou it was an hour a week it was a period we could be free. No homework or project to submit in as well :D
T-Cher or Lecturers
Sec: We call our educators, teachers. It's always cher this cher that. Cher he take my book! Cher Cher Cher i know the answer! We all had a time where we had centipedes in our bottoms. Our bottoms barely leave the seat for 5 mins when we'll be yelping again on something.
Poly: When your in poly your educators are called lecturers and not teachers(T-cher) as what we had called them since nursery days. It was kinda funny to hear when the word t-cher slips out of one's tongue and the lecturer rolls his/her head in resentment saying No use talking to these monkey in their minds.
But then again, i realised i had alot more funny experiences with my lecturers.
I once had a lecturer whom always give a lecture whilst looking at the ceiling! Yes, the ceiling?! Even when she is giving a tutorial she always avoid all human eye contact and tend to look way past you. When we first had her as our lecturer we did not realise this. We were always caught following her eye direction which only leads up to the ceiling or above your heads! As time went on, we kinda got used to it, but everytime we couldn't help but giggle every time she looks past us to stare at something that seems like as it its dangling above our heads.
Gosh!Homework VS Projects
Sec: Everyday you bring home a ton of homework to do. If i can clearly remember, there had not been a day we din had any homework. Even if the teacher is on MC he/she would alert another teacher to pass a message (which contains twice our daily amount of homework on a regular basis) to our class. That's when we hope the teacher didn't have to go on MC in the first place at all. School holidays! It might sound all very nice but no, its a period for yet another torture. Holiday assignments, books to read up on, test after holidays etc...
*Get me a rope i feel like hanging myself
Poly: Lots of projects!!! If you don't manage to find a proper group you can work with, you
DIE! The people you work with depends on your grading as well. I had a fairly manageable group when i was in poly. But unfortunately we were the very
'bo-chap' group. Always waiting till the late minute then rushing for time and missing classes lol! And during this time there was quite a number of conflicts going on with one another. Still we always stick to one another, that's the touching part ;)
