The end of college. I can't believe it. It's like only that day I came and enquire about the programmes offered. I came with my mind set on doing A Levels but was persuaded by ICPU councillor to take up ICPU. So, in a spur of mind, I signed up for ICPU. My uncles and aunts from Singapore and London voiced out their disapproval but in the end, they leave it to me because I think Canada's education system is good in a way. Yes, I do have my regrets for not taking A Levels but if I was given another chance to choose, ICPU is definitely my choice again. Why?..
>>ICPU challenged my ability to work under pressure. All the assignments, homeworks, presentations, tests, quizzes etc made lots of people worn out but to me, it was kinda fun [siCko].
>>I believe that ICPU fosters friendship like no other programmes. Different subjects in different classes. If i hate a particular person in this particular class, I wont be worried to see that particular person for the rest of the day. After 1 1/4 hours, bye-bye! Most people especially SAM students [dont let me go there but I will give a piece of my mind about it anyway] that this is stupid because you wont really know a person well but hey, to know whether the person is good or bad, 6 months will do. If you're the same kind, you'll clique of immediately. If you are different, then we'll remain as friends. I have a lot of friends but I still prefer to have my break with my high school friends (namely emmerie, cheryl and esther). Maybe because I'm still unable to let them go or I feel secure with them. I've had countless lunch breaks with other collegemates too but the feeling is just not the same. In front of them, I'm the tough, funny, cool kind (heck, some even think I'm lesbian.. Urggh!) but I'm somewhat different in front of my close friends : joker, childish (HA-HA-HA). Shit. i'm so gonna contradict myself now bcos I just realised maybe I know them longer (the 3 amigos) than any collegemates. Therefore, I'm still sticking to them.Arrghh. there goes my point. Yes. The duraton of time do affect your friendship. I've met a few good ones and I hope that our friendship will last after college ends. *S-M-A-C-K* Wake up. NO 1: Going to college is to s-t-u-d-y!! NO. 2: People come and go but friends will stay forever. No. 3: You still have a long way to go. ShIsssh!..
>> I have to admit that it is easier to score in ICPU but to do is tough. HUH??.. As in, the tests are internal but the students still need to study right?? In ICPU, students learned eveything in a flash unlike A Levels where the duration is 1 1/2 years. Of course their students are better but I always have this thinking that A Levels students are stuck up-spoilt bratz-rich kind of students (except kambing lerh). I'd never in my life wake up at 4 am just to do my assignment or slept at 4.30 am to finished my projects. Not even for SPM had I ever work this hard. We do have our stresses. We do not enjoy and slack most of the time. We have quizzes and tests every fortnight. We have to squeeze in the entire one year syllabus into 6 months or less! We have to do our essays and CITE them in the correct way or else it's considered plagiarised.
>> ICPU RaWk!. WHy?.. we have all the exciting activities like dress-up day aside from studying all the time. We have carnivals (or was that SPA's?- Society of Performing Arts which I'll also be talking on) and fund raising events. Even our programme name sounds better.
Stranger: Where are you guys from?
ICPU graduate: I-C-P-U *sun ray beaming on the ICPU graduate*
Stranger: Oh cool *although the stranger have no idea whut the hell is it but it's still a good comment*
SAM graduate: S-A-M
Stranger: Huh?? *Scratch head* I asked for your programme not your name. My boy, how long since you dig your ears??
SAM graduate: No. no. no. I'm from South Australian Matriculation
Stranger: What?..Oh..... *Look at ICPU graduate* So tell me about your programme. What's the full naem?.. not another matriculation i hope.
ICPU graduate: Sure. My pleasure.
At this point, SAM graduate starts to change to his invinsible mode. Buh-bye. *Oh i can go on but nah.*
Note: To be continue. Blogger was last seen rolling on the floor laughing at her lame jokes. Aih.s Anyway, she's late for her LAST english class.
