Oh My GOSH!!!!

Wow... after tuition, Matthias, my sis (Grace), my cousin (Clair), my parents and myself squeezed into a car meant for roughly five people heading towards CJC Open House. Now I feel so 'depressed'... We were quite excited, especially myself since I convinced myself that this was going to be my new school. I was quite sure of myself and thought that my mind was set. Boy did my confidence in CJC shake after the open house. To be honest, other than the fact that they had a very good character development programme and humanities programme, nothing else really impressed me. The facilities were... ummm... how do I put it... not as I hoped it would be. Even our tour guide, a former Josephian, said that other than the library and the gym, the rest of the facilities could not be compared to that in SJI. By the way... Matthias and I commented before that the library wasn't really that impressive. THAT was certainly disheartening. What made the open house not totally bad was the fact that I knew quite a number of people there. I saw James Chen (still remembered Sin described him as a hot hunk lol), some EX-SJAB seniors, people from church, the Peer Support Board. Then there was also the huge amount of Sec4s here for the open house.

Someone smsed me later to tell me that of all the oppen houses he went to... CJC was the worst and would not be one of his choices now. (he planning to replace it with SA) I have to admit, presentation was not of the 'good first impression' quality. At least the people in hospitality at the carpark were very friendly and welcoming.

Now, I ain't too sure about my choices now. It used to be so simple and clear cut, until I went for RJC open house. Sigh... Each JC has its own good points but now I have to weigh which one suits me better.

Alas, I have one more thing that I need to do first... discern whether it is my heart telling me to go CJC or is it just my mind playing tricks on me.

Here are some points that have crossed my mind...
CJC GOOD POINTS - Lots of friends going there and atmosphere/environment is the closest to that of SJI. It's also close to SJI and therefore surroundings would be familiar. It's relatively convienient going to and fro from school since there are direct buses. It's CATHOLIC. Mr Ang's for CJC. Rumours about having the highest birthrates and abortions compared to other JCs are false (someone debunked this rumour). Blue uniform (instead of white) which means it won't seem to get dirty so quickly. There IS a study environment (contrary to popular belief, just not like what one would see in other JCs). I've been told that at least 40% of the teachers are really good... when they are good. (???? Is that good or bad?)
CJC BAD POINTS - Facilities not even as good as SJI (it's a JC for *Pete's sake). The place looks so cramp like SJI sec 1 block. Rather small. Classroom size looks so cramp. Don't know what CCA to take up there (actually applies to other JCs too). Canteen is so warm. Don't know if I would regret going there after seeing the good points and bad points of other JCs.

SO... any advice? Anyone?

James out (and tired too)

PS: *Who's Pete anyway??? XD
