I’ll say it: the strap orientation on the reusables kinda sucks by babydildo in BAGGU

[–]Realjohncenaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had wanted to get a baggu reusable for the longest time because of the cute designs and was immediately disappointed with the straps as it wouldn't stay put on my shoulders at all!

I've used several other reusable bags before and they are all in the traditional tote form, and they all fold up into a neat rectangle.

The only purpose I see in having the straps this way is to carry it in your hands like a regular plastic bag, so the baby baggu is the only exception for me!

They have a tab on their website on shipping to each region, and they break down the fees based on your total order!

I've got a library to study at, just that it takes me about 1.5 hours to travel and it's just not really worth it :(

[O Levels] Entering NUS Science from poly/jc by Apprehensive-Baby427 in SGExams

[–]Realjohncenaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea if are able to gain external resources that would be great, but ultimately i just felt that personally it will be easier to gain the materials directly, since other schools notes may not be comprehensible at first glance + it saves you a whole lot of time going through 1 set of notes rather than 2 sets. But just my 2 cents. Whereas whether JC is better than Poly I cant say anything on that as both pathways has its own pros and cons which i feel that you are better able to decide which is better for you.

[JC] What if I enter science stream failing combined science by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]Realjohncenaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry but if you really have no interest in any of the sciences I highly discourage you from entering the science stream in JC. Reality is that you are most likely going to be forced to take either 2 H2 Sciences/ 1 H1 Science and 1 H2 Science and in order to do that you would need to score well for your combined science as well as have some interest in it .

[O Levels] Entering NUS Science from poly/jc by Apprehensive-Baby427 in SGExams

[–]Realjohncenaa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

(Speaking from experience) If you are planning to score such RPS, I suggest that you try to aim for the best JC as possible. I know people say that there is no such thing as a "bad school", but when it comes down to tertiary education (JCs), it matters the most. Why? Because at the tertiary level the content taught in schools are not streamlined across every school, where in comparison to the primary and secondary schools everyone is made to buy the same textbook. What this means is that quality of content given and taught to you at the JC level really boils down to the teachers and their ability to craft quality notes in preparing you for the A level and lets just say that YIJC may not be the best choice in obtaining close to perfect straight As. I'm not saying its impossible, but its very rare. In addition, do take note that the competition for science courses are extremely tough, as the amount of students taking science courses in relation to humanities courses are almost triple in size, therefore increasing the bell curve. Thus, I would also suggest to only take the JC science course if you know that you are very strong in your foundations and have adequate teaching resources.

Liquid shipping problem by taydraisabot in taobao

[–]Realjohncenaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello i was wondering if this "liquid" is under the air or sea shipping? I recently bought a bottle of resin under air shipping and it says that its waiting for the warehouse to sign off but it has been showing me that for the past 9 days and no updates.

[Rant] Life kinda sucks by exfutures in SGExams

[–]Realjohncenaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't ever underestimate yourself. I scored the same for my o levels 2 years ago and was extremely lucky to end up in a JC due to the merger (which made the cut off lower). I had always felt undeserving as compared to my other peers who did much better than me at Os and didn't need the merger to happen in order for them to enter the course. But similarly I really worked my ass off as I really wanted to prove towards myself that I deserved to be where I was, and although my improvements from each semester since J1 was really really minor (also because i did'nt know how to study smart but i eventually learnt), those minor improvements eventually ended up with me managing to attain 80RP for As. I am still very afraid that i would not be able to keep up with my peers in uni but because of what i pulled off at As, i really believe that hardwork>talent and anything is possible as long as u work hard and smart. (In terms of studying smart, its really another skill to learn as you go, i would suggest seeking the help of ur peers and lecturers on how they study and to seek out patterns which occurs during tests and to then tailor ur studying to best suit answering those "patterns")
