shame to alter pre-u admission exercise??

a joel tng was complaining (note that the word complaining is being used, not feedback!) that the pre-u admission exercise will be scraped from next year onwards, meaning there is only one intake in jc, rather than the two now. (straits time 10th january 2008)

he is asking for time to experiment with different cca and find forte, gauge subject combinations, familiarise with campus, take time to adjust changes in education system... can the young please stop complaining about all these small changes?

experimenting with cca - after knowing yourself for 17 years, you still don't know what interests you? after 17 years, you still need 3 months to find your forte?! i won't be surprised if he don't even know what his favourite food is, what is his favourite movie, what is his favourite drink. he'll ask for 3 months to explore before giving his answer!

familiarise with campus - how big can a campus be that you need 3 months to explore? trying to find dark corners so that one can bring the opposite sex and erm...?? or find the shortest route out of the school to catch the first bus home? ridiculous!

take time to adjust changes - 3 months to adjust changes? only singapore students are requesting for 3 months to adjust changes! such practise is not carried out in other nations. are the young spoilt or what??
