It is by god's grace that I could continue my education in this school. I must say that I have really loved my time in ACJC for the past 4 months, I haved lived life to the fullest and contributed in every field that I could. I have a fantastic school, CCA and class.
Although ACJC is a wonderful college, the physical facilities seriously needs improvement to continue giving students a high quality of education. The ageing classrooms and LT needs refurbishments to ensure that the amenities keep up with changing times. Students should realise that they need to pay a price for the improvement of the school and they should play an active part in raising funds for the newly built CPA.

An eventful week and evaluation on the Singapore Education System
This week has come and gone very quickly, it was filled with test and assignment. The horrible Chemistry lecturer gave us only 25 mins for a test that will have lasted 40 mins.
I will have to submit my Preliminary Idea for PW next week.
A levels School-Based Practical Assesment (SPA) will commence the following week.
The Singapore education system is one that train top talents. However, an over emphasis on efficency and rigidness has led to students and teachers behaving like robots living a monotonous lifestyle.
Students are highly encouraged to embark on rote learning and to rember textbooks, failure to churn out the required information will lead them to be labelled as failure. This has led to many students going through this rigourous education without having a creative mind of their own.
Isn't this similar to China and India's practice of producing millions of engineers using this giant ''brain factory''. Are these skilled workers euipped with the necessary skills to lead their country in the future?
In addition to the NUS High School of Maths and Sciences, Shouldn't the government set up a Specialised School for the Humanities and the Arts. We need creative people for the betterment of our future not just economically valuable engineers and technician.

Life
The past 1 month has been like a single second to me. Things are moving at an astonomical rate therefore I am unable to blog for nearly a month.
Altough it feels great being an ACJC student, the workload is simply crazy. Having to study for my H2 Chemistry test within a week and do the PW Preliminary Idea in 2 weeks.
It may seem glamourous about being elected as a Class Rep.But I can tell you, IT IS NOT that great a job after all, you will have to sacrifice your personal time to handle some simple administrative stuff. You have to labouriously ensure that everyone sits together during assembly and transmit the teacher's message to the whole class.
However, I enjoy serving the class and contributing part of my time for a greater cause. If that doesn't suit you, Give up the idea of being a class rep.
Being a boy from ACS Barker Road also mean that much is expected from me both academically and astheically.
I only have time for all these today.
