hey guys..

havent blogged for quite a while. about you guys going to poly and all. welll...hmmm. i'll give you guys my opinion. okay. i feel that it's entirely up to you all. after all poly provides a more hands on education as compared to JC. most pple say that poly is for ppl who alr decided what they want to do. actually it's totally wrong, cuz there will be turning points again at the end of poly education. mayb at the end of 3 yrs, you find that you dont actually like what you studied, but because you have a diploma alr, mayb you could start working or pursue a totally different degree at uni. take my sis for example, she took a diploma in buisness management majoring in tourism management. but she didnt really like it and took a totally different degree at uni in aussie. she took banking and finance. but at the end of the day, she had a diploma and a degree, more useful than an A-level cert and degree. and she is now doing very well in her career.

also, i heard of many cases where students who cannot make it thru the 1st yr of JC had to drop to poly, wasting 1 whole yr when you coud actually be doing more. but then again, you guys are blessed with smart brains and u all shld have no problem getting thru the 1st yr!

i've also heard frm my sis's husband, who used to be from CJC as well. he said JC didnt teach him stuff that they needed to be equiped with to go Uni. stuff like project works and all. JC's eduction is more text based. just like sec sch lah. thats why i didnt wanna go JC. i mean i don have to know what binomial theorem is or newton's theory of gravity when i work right? poly really equips you with the skills that you'll need in future for your job, and uni as well.

however, going the poly route is more difficult to get in to local U. i've got this thinking that my parents will send me to overseas Uni after my poly, so i'm not really worried about that. yeah, but for you guys, i know your parents will wanna send to local Uni. so it's really up to you guys.

another thing, in poly you really gotta be very very independent!!!

to mx: i think mel's add is correct. cuz melbourne is a city under the state of victoria, they have codes for their places so the no. that is after "Vic" determines the place. like for sydney, the addresses will usually end NSW XXXX or whatever. sydney is under new south wales.

anyway, hope to see you guys soon this friday!
