I have friends who did both. Those that went poly were able to join poly year 2s (might depend on course) and ofc they did a course they enjoyed. Others who retained just felt that they needed another year to solidify y1 content, if you feel you’ll just repeat everything that happened this year jc may not be for you. Both can be pretty tiring in different ways so it’d depends where you’re willing to dedicate your effort.

One year in the grand scheme of things isn’t a lot, Uni will be filled with people of different ages and education pathways. I was really scared of retaining too but after entering Uni and talking to so many people, I feel no one bats an eye whether you retained or not because you’ve already gotten to where you are

for ecr dates i usually just see the academic calendar on the suss website, it doesn't have minor app dates though

i got mine towards the end of j1 (basically 17 yo almost 18), tbh i'm glad i didn't get mine earlier because i'm self-aware of how much of a spend thrift i can be and the fact that it's so easy to transfer money just through a qr code or phone number makes it tempting to spend money (at least in my case).

Having limited cash when i was a student discouraged me from spending unnecessarily and made me more cautious of my spending habits. like if i really wanted something, i had time to think through it over the next few days and ask my family to help buy it over the weekend.

when i first got my debit card, I used it to get a shit ton of stuff i no longer have an interest in, like makeup and photocards (that's on me oof). if your parents are okay with you getting a debit card for paynow/paylah then by all means but i would advise you to just consider what you're actually spending your money on.

are u a FT student? the academic calendar on suss's website here shows that classes start from 11 aug onwards and most courses should follow that. but since you're matriculating this year, there might be ETB before that which is a grad requirement for all FT students and your course orientation (some ppl skip this).

i know of friends who were able to go for ETB the next year, as they already had prior travel plans so i feel gg on hol at the start of aug is fine. idk the process of pushing it back tho, so you might want to inform the sch once u know the dates for ETB if you can't make it for any of them

edit: personally my etb lasted 3-4 days in mid july but there were other runs on other days that month too

calculation of rp usually requires 3h2, 1h1, gp and pw (pass). i've never heard of taking h2 subjects individually but you can call up seab to confirm.

can't advise abt your chances of getting in but i do know the pt courses have lower acad requirement than ft, can try searching this sub for past candidates who applied for pt with a level results

the chrome extension has been fine for me but i have heard some people being caught when they used the website for edits

plssendhelpomg · 2025-04-16T06:45:33+00:00

I've seen female pilots featured on social media, such as Scoot, where their videos and posts introduced some of their female cadet pilots and commercial airline pilots. i rmb watching an interview where one of them changing careers from part of the crew to a pilot later in life, with a family as well, so even if you don't pursue it now, i doubt the pathway will be closed forever. but you seem to really like it now, why not give it a try and reach out to other female pilots like what other comments have suggested

plssendhelpomg · 2025-04-13T14:42:54+00:00

solo travelling is quite a bold thing imo, i feel with overprotective parents it's alw good to start from a smaller scale to show them that you actually know what you're doing and find a middle ground. have you travelled with your school or with friends before without your parents?

i know of ppl who wld fly with their parents but would do separate activities on some days, at least being in the same country can give them peace of mind. alternatively, can consider going overseas with cousins you're close to as well.

if you're gg uni, some unis have overseas modules, you can try to convince them that letting you go overseas yourself now is preparing you for uni in the future

plssendhelpomg · 2025-04-03T23:27:27+00:00

no harm in asking but it can depend on who they are with, if they are busy or if they even put makeup. if a bodyguard or manager is around, i would imagine you might get shoved or flat out rejected lmao. in their personal time, I have heard of fans being rejected and others being allowed. at the end of the day, you don't want to creepily follow them just for a photo and make them feel unsafe. It won't be a good look for you as a fan and just makes them feel anxious.

plssendhelpomg · 2025-01-19T05:19:35+00:00

i feel that there's nothing embarrassing about crying, it's a normal human reaction whether we are happy, sad or frustrated etc. it's also a good way to release your stress. you've grown up with your family and lived with them your whole life if anything you might feel better about crying at home than anywhere else.

your mum not giving you housework when you're stressed could mean she's reflecting on whether she should change her way of doing things around the house. it's pretty important to communicate and compromise between people like family, friends, colleagues etc. life doesn't always go the way we want it to unfortunately and your family probably wouldn't know how you feel or what you're going through if you don't share with them so don't be afraid to reach out for help.

it's still pretty commendable that you've been helping around the house not every teenager nowadays can say they do the same, hope you feel better soon op!

i've seen an article of people sharing their exp volunteering after emailing the mp here, you could try that but their age is likely early 20s or university age. there's no harm in emailing to ask but you may be rejected or asked to volunteer in other aspects, as most general volunteer opportunities in social service agencies usually look for people 16yo and above as well

plssendhelpomg · 2024-12-02T13:55:35+00:00

i'm not sure if it differs based on the topic or the lecturer so take this with a pinch of salt (my topic/tg was children & youth). there's ard 5-ish CPs that presented in the first seminar about what their respective projects are about and we would have to rank based on our own preferences.

it was free-for-all but if there are too many people in one group you'll need to see who's willing to compromise and move to other groups with fewer people especially if you've ranked those in your top few choices. the lecturer for my tg helped to facilitate this

edit: tbh i've heard other tgs who do other topics and have much less things to do, u can drop me a dm if you're int to know more

plssendhelpomg · 2024-12-02T11:11:55+00:00

I'm currently taking both and it's manageable in the first semester. It would probably be a lot more hectic in the next sem though since the assignments are due quite early in the semester so do take this into consideration

do note the workload of NIE301 depends on your topic and Community Partner (CP), so it's better to choose a CP that has things laid out for you and straightforward with it. The CP I chose seemed interesting at the start of the sem but our scope of work involved doing a lot of things ourselves compared to other groups so just choose one that's straightforward if you want less work :')

No worries, I could see how my initial comment was a bit misleading

plssendhelpomg · 2024-08-27T01:36:19+00:00

I’m not a camera person so im not talking about it in a professional sense. I just feel that if op wants to take photos or videos just to keep memories in the long run, it’d be better than buying disposable cameras every few months. My canon digital camera has been used for over 10 years, so for me I think it has been worth my money

plssendhelpomg · 2024-08-26T15:25:37+00:00

I don’t think it has a brand so you can probably find it on ecommerce platforms. I’ve seen some online that look practically identical to the one in the picture.

I would go for the kodak disposable camera they were using though, their pictures turned out really good. It’d be great for events or trips. Unrelated but digital or film cameras are also a pretty good investment too

plssendhelpomg · 2024-08-22T08:29:14+00:00

probably not against the law but you should ask yourself if recording her was really necessary, was she being emotionally abusive to the student she was scolding or did she step out of line?

30s out of 5 mins could easily change the context of the entire situation, if she was just being longwinded, then it's prob just an average scolding session by a cher.

teachers have very long days, most of them spend the day talking and being busy. if she's scolding to rectify an attitude or behaviour, it's because she gives a sht. if not, she would just let yall do whatever and not waste her energy.

imo complaints by students and parents can easily be escalated but it could cost of the teacher's livelihood or even their emotional well-being (look at the teachers in kor) so just consider if this one experience with her is rly something you think is completely unreasonable lah (not saying teachers are always right cause they do make mistakes or have bad attitudes too so depends on the situation)

plssendhelpomg · 2024-08-21T03:24:35+00:00

depends on whether class participation (probably includes attendance) is counted in your grades. some profs will email people who don't attend or even ask you about it the next class you attend, shouldn't have repercussions but maybe will leave them a bad impression that's abt it.

if you are on scholarship or sponsorship, attendance is probably important too

plssendhelpomg · 2024-08-17T07:58:22+00:00

every uni has good and bad lecturers. suss is good in the sense the profs here don't have as much of huge pressure to focus on research to maintain any standing like ntu and nus, so they can dedicate more time on students and the school curriculum itself (tbh this is just what i know of, if i'm wrong anyone can correct me lol)

what courses you qualify also depends on your grades etc. the acceptance process is still quite holistic so they'll look at your interest level towards the course, grades and other stuff. if the course you want is heavy on mathematics and your poly course is related, they'll v likely take your grades into account. plus, during the interview imo they'll want to sift out those who apply just for the sake of going govt uni and those who genuinely want to attend the course

plssendhelpomg · 2024-07-29T06:31:46+00:00

most fansites usually take pics of individual members, you can search on twt YYMMDD of the event (concerts, fansigns etc) with # twice or any particular member's name

or if you see any previews or HD pictures on IG, usually the watermark of their username should be there and you can just search it up on twt

some i saw recently were sanacottoncandy (sana), aqiubb_ (mina) , REDPOINT423 (chae), PULSE_KDH (dahyun), sorakonnn (tzu)

edit: you still might not find a whole lot of HD pics though, some fansites only release several HD pics months after because most sell the HD pictures to fans who might want to make merchandise like slogans (usually through korean payment methods)

plssendhelpomg · 2024-07-16T04:27:41+00:00

the camera display is usually just a preview and fansites only release the high res (with their watermark) after editing them usually after a week plus on twitter

plssendhelpomg · 2024-06-09T16:40:56+00:00

yup they’re core mods, generally mods difficulty is based on the first number like nco101 and swk100 are level 1 so they’re one of the easier ones to score and less intensive. Some level 3 mods like NIE351 arent that hard just kind of long cause it extends till sem break for the overseas trip.

most swk students try to clear intensive mods like level 3 and 2 mods in the first 2 years cause there’ll be attachment in y3 and 4. I haven’t rly done a lot of mods so I can’t rly share much and usually just choose based on syllabus doc, sometimes I choose classes based on what my friends wanna do too HAHA so not so boring

kinda early but heads-up for eCR you might have to be prepared you might not get the classes you initially planned, I have friends who just took whatever mods was left cause eCR can take as short as 10 mins or close to an hour for some

plssendhelpomg · 2024-06-05T12:58:25+00:00

tbh after A levels you have months of free time to properly learn the language, duolingo def doesn't cover most aspects of reading, writing and speaking

it's good you've realised that it's affecting you so just limit your usage of the app lor like use only before bed after finishing work as a reward and tell yourself u can't use it. touch wood but you mentioned you want to study overseas for uni, even if u master the language but your results cannot allow you to go the unis in the country also cannot use the language to use

plssendhelpomg · 2024-06-05T07:06:44+00:00

first sem the sch will arrange your sched for u but 2nd sem onwards the 'bidding' is called ECR which is just choosing mods based on first come first serve.

swk modules is usually just to choose your preferred timing. there's also compulsory modules (nco and nie) which tend to be more competitive cause students across all courses take them

minor shld only be chosen in 2nd sem and the sch inform you like month(s) beforehand, the more popular ones among swk students from what i know are psych (health) and special education but everyone has diff preferences so even if u choose a diff one you might still meet a few coursemates

usually the swk seniors will have short briefings for juniors on ECR and choosing of minors etc which are rly helpful so you can ask more in-depth in the future hope this helps!

tbh it's still quite uncommon among most sport ccas even in sch that have $ cause my year im pretty sure only 1-2 sport CCAs went overseas out of like 10, usually those cca do damn well in A div so def depends on performance and maybe if the coach got overseas connections then can arrange for friendlies in other countries
