He wasn't the first one to confuse NYP and NP.
I guess after you reside in a school for a while, you kind of grow attached to it. More so for me because even on off days or holidays, I'm at the pool, in school. The point is that jc folks (well, ESPECIALLY them) still don't know much about the polys in Singapore. And chances are, not only do they not know much about them, they don't think much
of them either. And it pisses me off.
Of course, you have your super-prestige schools such as those that comprise 4 letters, start with A, and end with CJC. Which is where exhibit Idiot #1 shown above
hailscomes from. Schools that cause people to shake at the mere mention of their name- or so their students would like to think. I suppose a [condescending tone]POLY [/condescending tone] could never come close to that kind of recognition and respect... Right?
I remember when the O level results came out. I was a student in one of them prestige JCs, and I did reasonably well for the O's. The day after O's was of course, "ji1 po2" (nosy bitch) day, where the people who you had never spoken to before come up to you asking the question
"so... where you going???", which was coded, sneaky JC-speak for
"how many points did I kick your ass by?". At that point, I had long decided to come to my current course in poly, regardless of my score. So my reply would be
"Ngee Ann Poly." [grin].
This would then draw 2 distinct categories of reactions:
1. Condescending-sympathy or Sympathetic-condescension
"... [awkward silence]... that bad, huh?",or
"oh... I see... [sympathetic look, accompanied by triumphant glow in the eyes, as they assume they'd outdone me]"2. Denial
"Hahahahaha... seriously man, stop screwing around. Where you going?"Such is the state of respect for polys these days. I suppose the recent nyp video scandal hasn't done much to raise the standard... or the teacher sex scandal before that... Meanwhile, JC students have to content themselves with their favourite rumours of "there're condoms in the bushes of hc jc"
(if by condoms you mean berries then yes) and "c jc has the highest abortion rate"
(about 2, since ever.).
Just try asking the average sunglass wearing, Gucci-toting tai tai what they'd think of their grade-8-piano-6-tuition-lessons-a-week-ballet-master darlings going to a poly, and you'll get the everyman answer I'm talking about.
I'd type a whole essay on how each institution has its own strengths and weaknesses, but I'm sure it's been done before. And, I can't think of any for JC(kidding.).
So here's the beef: there're gonna be students in my course that suck at math and econs, and there're gonna be tons of jc students who couldn't put a presentation together without relying on wordart and clipart like their lives depended on it. So fair's fair.
And no, I DON'T have the video.
... Yet.
