♥ high bus fares
//
It is obviously unfair that SMRT and SBS charge polytechnic students adult fares while JC students only pay 45cents per trip. Are we not of the same age as JC students? Do we NOT travel as much as JC students do? Are our families any better off than theirs? The general answer is NO, Polytechnic students are in fact just average students. Yes, there are elder students who are already working and capable of supporting themselves, but they still hold a very much smaller percentage as compared to the young students fresh from secondary school. I do believe SMRT and SBS are smart enough to not make decisions based on stereotyping thinking, and i certainly do believe that they are capable of being fair and unbiased, so i take it this fare difference was due to negligence in decision discussion and making. A higher fare would very directly affect the students' moods about school, discouraging students from poorer families to continue with their studies. This could impact the Singaporean economy as the majority of people studying go to polytechnics after their O levels, and a high fare would discourage workers from coming back to polytechnics to upgrade themselves.
//
come on la, i totally agree that Polytechnic students shouldn't pay adult fare for transport and JC students get to pay 45 cents only. but i feel that the support abv isn't strong enough for me to support! JC are schools under MOE, Polytechnics are not. It is quite clear that only students from MOE gets the privilege because it's the Ministry. Poly students don't have to wear uniforms, lecturers don't take attendance, flexible school hours and much more yummy food in Poly! JCs can never afford to enjoy life like Poly. Unless Polytechnic students dun mind wearing school u and getting back into the "secondary school" mode - yes, including the adults who does part-time study. (WTH WANTS TO WEAR!)
paying 71 cents per short trip on the bus is really a chore, what more from Tampines to Dover = $1.69. even if i were to top up $10, it only can last for 3 days excluding bus trips! heart really ache at the amount spent. BUT at least SMRT and SBS introduced smth called the CONCESSION PASS which is a far more affordable price. both train and bus = $96 at most. i go to school for 21 days a month = $70 cash, but the train pass is only $45 and there's 4 free trips per day! bus trips are unlimited! how good can this be right! i'm not trying to promote concession pass now, but i believe that most students who live a distance from their Poly understand how important Concession Pass is. at least the government makes the effort to lighten the students load by introducing this. dun want to waste $$, choose a Poly near you. Want to go to good poly and a choice of your own, stop complaining about transport fees when u can afford to buy excessive things.
why not we just say, the standards of living is much higher these days. Just count your blessing, you'll soon be out of Polytechnics in the adulthood. By then, can consider doing a petition with the Poly Students paying adult fare yet having Concession Pass while adults dun have the same privilege.

♥ GEMS proj
In Wildwood grubs prison, there were four cells numbered 1 to 4 from left to right, with only one prisoner to a cell. The following facts had been recorded in the prison officer's logbook.
1. Cell 2 was occupied by either Angry Alan or Desperate Dave.
2. The burglar was next to the prisoner but not next to the strangler.
3. Neither Brutal Bill nor Desperate Dave was the knifeman.
4. Either the strangler or the knifeman was in cell 4.
5. Brutal Bill was next to Cruel Colin.
6. Desperate Dave was to the immediate left of the strangler.
Can you find the inmate (i.e the prisoner) and crime for each cell?

♥ WGM - we got married
4 predetermined (as in participants don't choose who their partner is, but the pairings are set up by the PD) couples are allotted a certain amount of money ($20, $40, etc) to prepare dinner for themselves. The participants try to portray themselves as a real life couple and go out together to buy groceries for dinner. It then follows them to a mock home where they prepare the dinner and eat. In between scenes there are interviews with the participants asking questions like what they feel about their partner and what they like or don't like about him/her. The actual date together as a couple and the interviews are all prefilmed and the participants and MCs watch it all back. At the end, each side of the couple privately chooses if he/she would stay together with his/her partner or not.

♥ funny letter
How would you react when you receive such a letter?
A father was surprised to see a neat and tidy bed as he passes his daughter’s room. Why?? Cause his pampered daughter never tidy her bedroom or iron her own clothes in her life.
Right on the pillow lies a pink envelope. With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:-
Dear Dad,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you, but I'm leaving home.
I had eloped with my Lesbian friend Lucy because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. I've been finding real passion with Lucy and she is so nice to me. I know when you meet her you'll like her too -even with all her piercing, tattoos, and motorcycle clothes. But it's not only the passion Dad, I'm pregnant (carrying my ex boyfriend’s child) and Lucy said that she wants me to have the kid and that we can be very happy together. Even though Lucy is much older than me (42 is not very old anyway), and has no money, really these things shouldn't stand in the way of our relationship, don't you agree? You always say as long as we hav the determination nothing matters… Right
Lucy has a great CD collection; she already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. It's true she has other girlfriends as well but I know she'll be faithful to me in her own way. She wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my dreams too. Lucy taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and she'll be growing it for us and we'll trade it with our friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Lucy can get better; she sure deserves it!!
Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.
Your loving daughter,
Jenny.
At the bottom of the page were the letters "PTO". Hands still trembling, her father turned the sheet, and read:
PS:
Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that's in my desk centre drawer. Please sign it and call when it is safe for me to come home. I love you!
