“the stress in poly is mostly cuz u have to work with idiots” SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE AT THE BACK
The opposite is also true. If you get good team mates poly will be an excellent learning journey
Yes ok sorry it’s me
600 likes and running with my help 😏
Zac's rage about stupid / useless group mates is soo relatable. I thought i was reliving a my project work all over again
Zac is so hilarious, he is the type of friend who never miss any single gossip, and we love that one
Tp is also known for their design school!!
Do an episode on the indept of the 4 different polytechnics. So that student have more perspectives of how each is like.
The best thing about poly would probably be the amount of freedom for independence and self reliance, poly just gives you a bunch of datelines, you plan your own time out, plan out how to make use of your time wisely, this is an extremely helpful skill to train altho at first you’ll break yourself, eventually you’ll learn how useful this is for practically everything
Poly was the worst three years of my life as it was just projects and deadlines and sleepless nights (design student). I went out to work for awhile and headed to uni. Would never work in the design industry ever but if given a choice, I would still do design again. I enjoyed what I was doing but it just wasn't my forte and I had a lecturer shamed me when I suffered from anxiety back then. At the end of the day, it's these experiences that help us grow and perhaps be more certain of what we want to achieve in life.
What design exactly? Vis comm??

i LOVE zac omg !!!!! always felt like he was rly cute AND HIS PERSONALITY JUS ADORBS LA HAHAHA
I just wished they include this stereotype too..
*people who are not in poly* : poly sounds fun and chillax, unlike JC!
*people who are actually in poly* :
Haha.. *SURE*
A side note to those who are considering going to poly👇
Poly is not just fun and games, sure it can be fun if you planned your time well in studying and enjoying yourself but just imagine this.
*How can you not be stress when every single test/exam/project/presentation/lab/work ur lecturer assign u affects ur graduating results?*
In secondary school or jc, if you flunk one test you'd be upset but would comfort yourself by doing better in the next test.
But in poly, if u flunk one test/project/lab, its endgame. Especially if the test carries a high percentage in your module. Its like a butterfly effect, if u did badly in Year 1,then ur final gpa probably won't be good too since your grades are cumulative throughout the 3 years
And tbh to do well in poly, you really gotta care about your grades. Your determination must be strong too.
In jc if you don't listen in class, you will get scolded but in poly if you don't listen in class, nobody gives a damn.
You are on your own and nobody will push nor spoon feed you or remind you to do work or complete your own assignments (maybe your friends will but that also depends on the type of ppl you hang out with),which is also a good culture exposure because they are training the students to be independent and to work hard for their own grades.
Btw, I am like Zac, i am a JC to Poly kind of student.
Poly chill my ass, you always see the poly kids surviving on little to no sleep during submission periods / exam periods because poly tend to pack everything together, it test on your time management as well. And for science courses, LOTS OF TEST AND STUDYING, it’s practically JC but useful things
I was looking for this comment!!!!
Really agree with you! I'm from science school and omg, first day of school after holidays already get our tests and CA dates already. Then after that every single day is crazy, since we have practical and Lab sessions, we usually have lessons from 8am to 6pm. And we have quizzes every week.
Super stressful and exhausting!!!!
littlemissgreedy wow may i know which poly u are in?
@@filmedbyme Hi Evelyn!! :) I'm currently schooling in SP!!
littlemissgreedy oh i see, thank you for giving me insight into how science sch is going to be. Hope i get through it 😖 jia you !!!
@@filmedbyme you're most welcome!! :)
Jiayou too!!! You can do it! Just remember to work hard consistently cos GPA is cumulative so every graded work counts! However, it's also important to get enough rest and do things that make you happy and help relieve stress!! All the best!!!!😁
as an RP student, I couldn't relate to the 9-11am class thing, I'm in year 2 and my every day class is from 9:15 am - 4 pm, but that's also because we're problem based learning
alice yes!! i think i couldn’t relate to most of the video, rp is rly an institution of its own.
@@WithloveJess01 i know right, same hahaha i mean take our classes for example, our groups for each mod aren't by choice most of the time so
Doesnt it depend on the type of school though? What sch are u from may i ask
alice huh? Whats that 😅
alice ohhh wait my bad my bad, does that stand for school of media and communication?
Jc feels like secondary school man. Traditional kind of learning. But the reasom why i didnt choose poly was because i didnt know what to do. I really enjoyed uni. The freedom, no form teachers hogging you, you really feel more like a grown up
Poly kids are generally more street smart bcos of the environment or the freedom they have in a tertiary institution similar to university. It shows during the army. It’s not the person, it’s the system & environment that nurture. (Of course, there are odd ones out)
Formal school has school rules, uniform, proper timetable & structure to follow,.... that makes everyone to be the same in some way. Kind of similar to army, prison, ... u are not encourage or given the freedom to be different.
That said, there’s no right or wrong path. Just which is more suitable for u.
End of the day, it even out.
Your last paragraph is very contradictory considering how you state all the benefits of poly but when describing jc , you only mention the negative points
Multiex u obviously don’t get the point, unlike the rest. I am referring to the point on street smart. Period. Get it? Read objectively and understand the context. U sound offended?
jim w tbh you seem like the one who’s offended . Look at how you’re typing now. And that’s besides the point. Relook at how you typed in the first paragraph. It’s pretty obvious you’re biased towards poly
Multiex I can lead you to the water, but I can't make it drink. Sum it all up. You just don’t get a simple point. U can continue to whine here. The number of 👍 speak for itself.
jim w you’re whining about me not getting your point but you aren’t getting mine either ? Just shows how much of a arrogant prick you are where you think you’re always in the right and is never willing to admit your wrongs
eh, the tp representative nv really talk much about TP camp culture. cause the camps in tp is like a whole lot of drama. so many things she didnt say.
thank you for this! i’m going to poly this april :)
I'm rmb our FYP days. When the chio girls in our course who always put on make up everyday to school, came without makeup. You know how stressed it was when the girls just hack care and came with nude face. (no joke, we couldn't recognise some at first sight, need 2 or even 3rd look) Some of us hoped that we could sleep in the studio (ya. Design life) to save the time on travelling. Literally left school at 11pm and reached back at 730am. Sometimes when we are too early, we can't tap in the door.
Their course are mostly coursework based but I like to believe that courses that is 50% coursework and 50% paper have the most slackers. Because people carry them and even if they score badly on their coursework, they just score well on paper and get a gpa of 3 and above. Because coursework is mostly based on the group's work, nobody would know if you hardcore carry or not. Teachers would also show your group's results tgt so you will see if you got pulled down bcs your peer mark you down. These slackers like to pull the "since you are my friend, you shouldn't mark me down for peer appraisal" card. Sorry hor. I rather not have the friendship if you gg to pull that shit on me.
cherry ong speaking of peer appraisals, sadly i became an outcast for marking my peers down in year 1 sem 1. To make it worse, these peers were friends with the so called popular kids in school. They told their friends that I marked them down. My life was basically HELL for 3 whole years. It’s unfair that these peers of mine who never did any work at all demand an explanation why i marked them down?
@@mardhora I understand your pain. One girl in my class also did the same thing on me despite my peer appraisal not pulling her grades down. She end up spreading some rumors about me. It is horrible but her friends who end up grouping with her would understand your pain. I am sorry about the outcast situation and all i can suggest is to join a club/cca which allows you to make more friends there. I wish you all the best! Karma will surely bite them in the ass. The girl who did that to me got a gpa of 3.3 and probably even lower seeing how shit she did in 1.2.
im loving zula chickchats on the topics and sitting down and discussing with different perspectives is eye opening and really interesting :)
7:15 i cant relate to this soooo much
so quick story time i was in sec 2 doing a history project with a "team" in my class i was scheduled as timekeeper and theres 4 other roles typical group in sec sch uk all
..
so ik these classmates are damn slack so i be nice to them la every part of the project it was about 1.5 weeks for 1 part of the project there was about 6 parts and the due date was like in 3 months
..
so i just skip all the details cos dw make this too long but I've been through blueticks, group meetings that no one showed up for and they even ignored me because i kept pestering them (this was like 2 months in ) and no one had any work done
..
so like in the end i finished it all by myself in like 3 weeks and had to present la then when cher called me to ask my group to present i stood up and plug in the computer to start to get ready for presentation then all my group mates stood up and stand beside me
..
JUICY PART OF REVENGE
so like i ask them loudly why are they standing beside me my cher was confused af what was going on even the class were like wtf then i started talking shit about how they ignored me, bluetick me and even missed out on group meetings then told them to go back to their seats and listen to MY PRESENTATION they all starting giving me the looks like im the one in the wrong
..
so my teacher got the gist of the situation and before my presentation shouted their names and made them apologise to me. in class with all my classmates inside and they had to redo the presentation in 1 week or their getting a 0 they didnt do it so like all 4 got very low for their sec 2 mye results all were below 30%
Love your attitude
I love you sm
happy everyone got to vent their frustrations out
Nice video
rly like amanda ahahaha pls feature her more!! :)
can relate to zachary’s project experiences 100%
The editor needs a raise
Do a ITE series!!!
NYP is for IT too i think? And the only poly in Singapore that managed to build a plane
At the end of the day everyone still goes into the workforce all the same. Whether you went to poly or jc, whether you were in uni or not, whether you were in normal or express school is just the precursor to work. It really doesn't matter in the end.
Day 1 Stereo type "ITE people dont study one" *3 years later* "Almost all ITE students Top students in thier cohort"
Ok xD
Thats so cool i really respect them for doing so well after all theyve been through
i wanna say me HAHAHAAH FK
L1R5=2. Went to SP. Graduated this year!
Would like you guys to make a episode about going on a date and mainly footing the bill
Poly : Prepare to work after graduation
JC : Prepare to study some more
by the way, RP is known not just for our sports management courses but also for our hospitality courses
Do a JC culture plss im so confused as to where to go:(
Heres my advice for u: Dont go jc if u are not ready for a megaload of stress and stress and stress. Jc is not only physically tiring but its also mentally tiring. U might do well in j1 but u can totally flunk j2. U must be fully prepared if u want to go jc. Honestly all jcs are alright it doesnt matter because at the end, its not based on which school or which teacher. It all boils down to yourself. How hardworking u are, how resilient u are, how much more are you willing to go
@@joel-cx7hm I see thankss for the advice:))
Furthermore like they saic in the video, if u do go to poly, u have a ‘safety net’ -your diploma. Just know this but if u screw up your alvls and cant go to uni, your only route is to retake it privately or go back as a j3. Or some would recommend going to poly ( there are some courses for those who did badly for alvls ) which is honestly a longer route. So think wisely yea
another pov: if you’re still unsure of what you want yet (it’s honestly hard for even 19y/o to decide much less 16/17 y/o), jc is likely the way to go since it “buys” you the extra 2 years for you to think about which course you want to study...but you’ll have to actively think about this and preferably look for job-shadowing to get some experience/feel or talk to seniors/Teachers (you might think you like it but you might just get turned off by other aspects that you only realise it after you try it)... and when you’re decided, you now have a goal for A’s to work towards which is q impt because something to note is that not every course requires straight As so you’re not mugging blindly for unrealistic goals
Omg are you taking O's this year too?
rp be like: 8:30am - 3:30pm daily 😔😔 and 2359 😔😔 ..
adlynna shit man :(
damnnn related lorhhhh luv from mlysia

Can y'all do an art school version...like lasalle and nafa :(( cause I'm not sure to go poly or lasalle 😭
And also ,to give more knowledge abt art school in singapore since no one really talk abt it. (Such as misconception of art school)
fingers crossed no idiots in my group
Poly kids are mainly very driven because we alrdy know what we want to do and we chose our course because of the career we want to pursue so I wouldn’t say poly kids are just all JC cmi
make more videos with zac man 😂😂😂😂
So thunder thighs good or bad
do a ITE kids
Saw on Leah’s story that they will being doing one for ITE :)

Lol is he for real? TP is known for their design school......
yea ikr lol
Yea and their law diploma barely allows anyone to go into getting a law degree too
Known for design school inside TP or outside?
@@QzSG outside..... we've award-winning lecturers from firms that are very known and reputable in the industry.... not sure if you're implying that i'm talking shit or genuinely asking a question. of course SP has great design courses too but TP was also the first polytechnic design school and thus known for it as well
He said it was just to his knowledge
Just go to NP! its the best
Rafiq I got L1R4 11 but I wanted design so I went tp, where it has better design courses
I got 8 but I really wanted vet and this year np removed vet so I had to go to tp 😔 if not still had it I’d go to np because it’s so much neater to my house and the like the vibe of the sch HAHA
I laughed so damn hard at Zac's story
Even though I switch on the maximum volume, I can't hear well.
I think Amanda suit arch brows more.
consider talking about dance culture in singapore / culture in singapore dance studios? :)
8:40 mood
art school culture!!!
YES OMG! Do it !
GOD. GROUP PROJECTS.
Once got stuck with a group for some dumb throwaway module no one cares about. This guy had the nerve to come to project meeting with his lunch tabao and eat in computer lab. Stink up the place with his food smh. Then after he finished his food, he had the thick skin to say "wait ah" and scroll through facebook on the computer in plain sight. The other person on the group was deadass head empty and I wound up just using her as a sounding board while doing the entire project myself.
Oh, and Mister Facebook Man then sent me a follow request on instagram. Nabei who want to see your face anymore sia 😩😩😩
