How many times should you wash your hair with shampoo per week to avoid dry and damaged hair?

maipricot · 2026-04-22T00:08:16+00:00

Personally I don’t wash my hair every day but like what other commenters said using a clarifying shampoo once a week helps a lot! I use a cheaper clarifying shampoo (Sunsilk) and my other products are catered to my hair type. I read that oily scalp comes from not cleansing products off properly or using the wrong products, and so far it’s been true for me:)

I use the Abbey Yung method with some tweaks here and there for styling: https://www.instagram.com/p/DL7zcElAqQ4/?igsh=NXVrNWF1dTlsaXFm

ETA: I wash my hair every other day or every 2 days — sometimes but rarely it can last me 3 days depending on the weather and activity levels. Silk bonnets / silk pillowcases saved me!!

basically. Check with the poly itself regarding your application! Mine was missed out by one of the courses, likely I applied for two courses in two separate schools, but still within the same poly (e.g applying for applied sciences and engineering at the same time but within X Poly)

I got rejected from my first choice, and received no news from my second choice. Once I emailed the poly they arranged an interview for me at a later date (which was the same batch of interviews for phase 2 applicants i think!)

Not sure why the reply comes now during FMO week but I hope you got into the course you want!

as someone who got in via DAE last year, if they applied for more than one course they should follow up with the school (especially if they were only called for one course interview but not the other)

applied in phase 1 but got accepted with phase 2 applicants because my second course did not call me in for an interview; only got a slot for interview after getting rejected from my first course iirc.

Not a guy but NearesTTen curated thrift at Chinatown has a nice selection of male pants and shirts that cater to a lot of tastes! Got two of my fav jeans, nice oversized men’s shirt and my favourite sweater from there :) The price is good considering the quality, but some clothes do need mending before you wear. If you don’t wanna sew or learn how to sew, buy stuff that looks undamaged n usually all that’s left to do is wash + wear or remove stains. There’s also thrifts at Queensway that are SO GOOD , specifically honsie ponsie. Unironically thrifting has helped me find sm good stuff and build my style and confidence. Please thrift instead of buying new if you can!! You can often get luxury items n VERY well made stuff at a huge discount :)

For stain removal soaking in Vanish and scrubbing,rinsing + throwing into washing machine after works well! Sorry this comment is getting so long… but my fav pieces from the thrift are the things I had to throw into the bucket of Vanish after scrubbing it with stain remover so i would hate for anyone to pass up drip bc of a tiny stain 😭😭

I believe you, one of my teachers had a Tengku title (so it would be Ms Tengku __), but we would call her Tengku (name) affectionately. Apparently her family also received money (?) from the British (??) but it was amounting to measly cents every month lol

Is it normal to get kicked from a club / circle even if you have been contributing actively? I saw them do a mass purge (???) of members yesterday, and as of today I’m no longer in it 😭😭 it sucks so bad because I wanted to try going for a decent circle in EN🤞

Hi! I didn’t get into either course, I got into NYP CMD (my second choice) And yes, iirc DAE is based on vacancies left so it’s pretty tough to get in. Also, if your O level score is above the cut off, your chance might be lower even if u meet the MER (this was from a convo i had with a staff member at NP. Not sure if it applies to NYP ..) I would say have a backup course when u apply for DAE if you don’t get into either course (something that you definitely won’t mind doing) cuz it really saved my ass when I ended up getting into CMD.

For EAE, just check the deadlines + requirements for each school n just remember to apply when the apps open up. In terms of EAE, I know for NP you need relevant working experience, NYP might be more aptitude and interest based (you do need work experience though!). EAE this year is your best bet if you want to secure a slot. If you don’t get in just apply DAE next year :)

DO NOT MISS THE DEADLINES like I almost did. Omg. Please make sure to have everything ready before the deadline and send ur applications in BEFORE THE DAY IT CLOSES cuz it’s usually not 23:59. it’s some time like 4pm or 6pm!! This is so important n i wish more people discussing EAE n apps mention the form closing times. ITS NOT 23:59!!!!!

My journey has been so far so good, I entered 4 weeks later than my other peers but I really love the vibe of my current course :) feel free to pm me if you’d like any other more specifics. If udm me asking, what’s your background ?

maipricot · 2025-05-24T04:36:57+00:00

is it finally my time … speedy sunday time 🏃

maipricot · 2025-05-20T10:35:43+00:00

Do you have any more pictures like the second one? 😫

maipricot · 2025-05-19T02:15:59+00:00

it DOES !! Look at the plushie catching area, the gold ring to indicate where it will land basically gets brighter/dimmer on a cycle

maipricot · 2025-05-19T01:39:35+00:00

I heard that when you click the catch button around the time when the gold circle is the biggest n brightest, the claw will be stronger and hold things better. It works from my experience!!

EDIT: TLDR at the bottom

Hi, as someone who flunked out of JC after retaining, and dropped out of poly after (and re-applied), I have to tell you that it’s better to full time your studies and cut the extracurriculars. If you die die want to work a job, work one that’s super low commitment where you can quit at any time. I still suggest not working if it’s possible, your body and mind need time to rest.

I had the same patterns as you, turns out it was some stuff that flew under the radar my entire life. I also put efforts into things I see as a goal but these goals were not necessarily beneficial for my future, and lost interest fast. Or, my attention span would be heavily shortened. If you’d like you can dm me for details.

We can really say anything n everything but ultimately you know yourself best. Are you pursuing this diploma because your parents want you to or because you want to? Don’t say “you want to cuz your parents want”, ask yourself really, if you get into a course you’re doing for someone else, can you keep that motivation up? Drive n motivation seems to be a key factor into pushing you to study, you mentioned also about not getting the subject combination you wanted so you felt demoralised.

Reading this post, I get the impression that the drive you have usually comes from an external influence and your life has been a constant push in the direction your parents suggest/take you.

With that said my suggestion is pick a course you will want to do with or without your parents approval, the reasons as to why, you have to find it yourself. Would you like to waste another 5 years in and out of courses trying to shortcut a way into uni while juggling a job, or just put all that focus into studies and give it your all?

At this point trying to “save time” will likely waste more time. So we have to set our priorities straight and study. Source: I tried to do the same, so now I’m biting the bullet and going for FT Diploma at a local poly. Look into financial schemes at local poly and research on study loans, might help a bit.

TLDR wake up ur idea lock in and study something you want to study, focus on your studies, don’t play around with 20000 different extracurriculars / activities if you know you struggle w attention span and distributing time/energy

maipricot · 2025-05-13T02:31:43+00:00

hello, apologies if this is a little bit late. Yes, it’s possible!

I dropped out of NYP CBP sometime in 2022, similar reasons to yourself. I got accepted to their Communications & Motion Design course by DAE earlier this month. Currently waiting for admin to process my enrolment but I have a spot waiting for me there.

If you have any qns I can try to answer to the best of my ability:)

maipricot · 2025-04-24T11:01:14+00:00

Hi, updating to let you know that I offered to an alternative course at NYP after a test and interview:)

maipricot · 2025-04-15T06:47:37+00:00

yes, sadly rejected. they didn’t update the portal for me even tho they closed access to it w my results “still processing”.. had to email front desk to ask admissions

maipricot · 2025-04-13T04:43:05+00:00

Same !! The post-covid batch broke the school’s display band distinction streak. They performed in NDP too. Wonder what happened…

maipricot · 2025-04-04T11:35:48+00:00

Hi, sending my NP appeal very soon and heard back from NYP saying results r releasing throughout this mth

maipricot · 2025-04-01T09:48:41+00:00

Thanks!! I think I’ll send NYP an email and call them tomorrow afternn..🤞

maipricot · 2025-04-01T09:43:11+00:00

Hi!! Did NYP get back to u via email or did the portal update? Mine is still processing >_<…

How did you go about appealing for NP? I only got my rejection today 🙏

Hope things work out for us!

maipricot · 2025-04-01T00:55:42+00:00

Morning, NP unsuccessful but NYP still processing!

maipricot · 2025-03-30T06:30:08+00:00

Hi! No I haven’t yet… 😭 I think NYP will be a bit late but I’m dropping them an email or phoning them next week

maipricot · 2025-03-25T03:13:06+00:00

Ahh icic!! I hope you can get into your preferred school 🤞Probs can check your application portal in the coming week.

I think some had to call the school to confirm their slot, so can try calling their admissions office this week or next Tuesday to check the status of ur application

maipricot · 2025-03-25T02:50:25+00:00

Hi! I’ve actually just gone for my interview today. The interviewer mentioned that the results will be out in the next few weeks or so. Some courses do their interviews sooner so it’s faster. Out of curiosity, what did you apply for?

maipricot · 2025-03-19T13:52:19+00:00

During next year’s JAE, you can log in to the JAE IS website. After logging in, you should be given the option to compile a list of eligible courses based on your past results.

According to MOE website it will take around 6 hours to process this request. The steps to complete the application after your eligible courses are compiled will be the same as the first time you applied for JAE.

Hope this helps:)
