mjJ2: i think that welfare is existant in mj, it actually all about whether u take an active role in looking for it. the sch admin is not god,it doesnt have the power to know exactly who needs help and who doesnt and this is exactly the reason for there being the mj leisure portal isnt it? i think u need to first explore the basis of your allegations first before airing them.

zzzz: eh. mjc is packed with under achievers from gd sec schs and those uni-grad-wannabes for neighbourhood schools. in any case. those who end up in mjc are either: 1) losers who insult their own intelligence by screwing up their O's. 2) stoopid pple who work damn hard and their O's is just a miracle. more of the 2nd grp. the stoopid cant-really-speak-decent-english type of neighbourhood kids. oh btw. i am from mjc. i tink unity in this sch comes from this common need of neighbourhood kids to mug damn damn damn hard to repeat their miracle during A's. which well, happened! and this blog gotta continue man. the student welfare is non-existent. grades rule this distinctions-factory-wannabe.

"...unity in the school comes from this common need of neighbourhood kids to mug..." Is there unity? Don't think so...
"...repeat their miracle during A's. which well, happened!" It happened? Well, maybe for some...
"the student welfare is non-existent. grades rule this distinctions-factory-wannabe" Definitely!
"this blog gotta continue man" But who's going to keep this blog going? We keep receiving "i would love to be your successor" and "this blog gotta continue man", but no one's really interested in taking over this blog. No one has sent us any e-mail to express interest in taking over this blog. What can we do?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

From the TagBoard:
mjc student. : i would love to be your successor. anyway, does anyone agree with me that miss lai likes comparing us to vj students alot?
mj j1: hey hey, so who are the new successors to this blog?

Well, since we haven't received any e-mail regarding the taking over of this blog, and since some of us will be off to Pulau Tekong this week, this blog is officially discontinued. We may still post entires once in a while. Anyone interested in taking over this blog may still e-mail us, but we will not be able to check our e-mail regularly, so we may not reply to you immediately. For now, good luck to all Meridians, especially the new JC1 batch of 2006.

Signing off,
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Students (Meridian JC)

mj j1: hey..why dont u blog about the important events concerning the college instead on commenting on comments?think it'll be better that way..thnx..

Dear "mj j1",
It's nice to know that there are people out there like you who are also concerned about the way the college is run, the way it is developing, the college spirit, the morale of the students etc... We're glad we're not the only ones fighting a "lost" cause. But as we mentioned in the entry on 25 May 2005, with the Mid-Year Examinations after the June school vacation and less than 20 weeks to go before the GCE "A" Level Examinations, there will probably not be any new entries posted other than comments from the TagBoard. And the "A"s are now JUST 15 DAYS AWAY! Besides, most of the important events nowadays do not involve the JC2s, so we don't have much to blog about.
Thanks for your feedback.

Since "mj j1" has brought this up, we might as well settle this now. The current SPCS members will be graduating from MJC soon, and some of us are enlisting for NS as early as in the first week of January 2006. We won't be able to update this blog anymore. Would any concerned, college-loving JC1/s like to take over the blog, please feel free to contact us via e-mail at spcsmjc@hotmail.com. Thanks!

Had National Day Celebrations in MJC today. Was just another variation of the many "Racial Harmony Day Celebrations" we've had in MJC, need we say more?

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!!!

Lectures and tests after the celebrations. So happening, yeah?
Always thought Mr Eugene Yeow was a highly respectable teacher. Well, thought wrong. Realised that he picks on particular classes and particular students. He also lets his emotions influence his teaching. When in a bad mood, he just gives really crappy answers to students' questions. Just listen to his answer once and you can tell he doesn't know what he's saying, and the expression on his face tells you he's not in the mood to answer questions. All happened just because he didn't know what was scheduled for that lecture that day and he wasn't prepared for it (which seldom happens). Getting into a bad mood over this and ruining students' impression of him, is it worth it? Anyway, though not that respectable anymore, still quite respectable. Hope it doesn't get any worse.

Added a countdown to the right column. 91 more days to the "A"s...

National 'A' Division Soccer Champions: Meridian Junior College!!!
Meridian JC 1 - 1 Victoria JC (1-1 after extra time, MJC win 6-5 on penalties)

MJC took the lead through Zulkifli Azman in the 63rd minute, the explosive striker putting his pace to good use. He chased down the last defender, stole the ball from him and struck it past the goalkeeper with composure. MJC were unlucky to concede a penalty in the 75th minute, from which VJC equalised, taking the match into extra time. With the score still level after extra time, the penalty shootout ensued. After that, we all know what happened...
The atmosphere at the National Stadium was overwhelming. The cheering and drum beats drowned out all other sounds. At the end of the match, for once, the School Anthem is sung with gusto and pride by every single Meridian in the stadium.

By the way, with the Mid-Year Examinations after the June school vacation and less than 20 weeks to go before the GCE "A" Level Examinations, there will probably not be any new entries posted other than comments from the TagBoard. So from now till the end of November, goodbye...

yx: wa so sweet ahh..think of the students welfare..make them happy ahh..SO NICE SIAH! :
SPCS [yx]: If we, the students, don't think of our own welfare, who will? The Ministry of Education? Dream on!!!
yx: u people are just speaking from your own perspectives, and generalize your opinions as those of the WHOLE student body. that's why im speaking up.
SPCS [yx]: Fine, if you're so smart, why don't YOU go do a survey to gather JC2s' opinions and JC1s' opinions after the mid-year exams? Prove us wrong. If you think this blog is just the opinion of 3 people, guess what? YOU THOUGHT WRONG! Your survey (if you even care to do one) will prove that the opinions on this blog are not of just a minority. And if you go through our archives, you'd find that many students have contributed their opinions, both agreeing and disagreeing with us. It's up to readers to choose what to believe. We don't impose our opinions on anyone.
yx: :O look who's getting a little too touchy here! well im also passing my own opinions, so fierce for wad!! ohwell, i THOUGHT u dont impose ur opinions on people. i guess u dont! cheerios.
SPCS [yx]: Well, the phrasing may not be the best possible, but we're definitely not fierce there. Why should we blow up? 9 more months and we're out of MJC. Can't wait for the day to come...
silver_blaise: i dont think any year 2 can wait. hey yx.. lemme ask you something. this place is forum for airing opinions.. how HARD is that to grasp?
yx: maybe very? IM STUPID WAD. and im airing my opinions wad. u all are too. so actually ive already grapsed it. so guess what? im not stupid.
jc2: damn e teachers dun keep their words.. at 1st,they said only 1 test per week is allowed.(either on mon or tue morning). but next wk we hav a maths test on mon morn, chem test the next day and bio SPA on the following wed! wad is this? how can we trust them?
yx: u all are just looking for sth to complain abt. this happens in EVERY school fyi. maybe u say no not in tj, no not in vj, den just be sad that u din go to tj or vj then.
to yx: if u tink we r lookin 4 sth to complain, let's wait till u stay in mj for another 5 mths, make sure u can still say gd things abt mj.
yx: den too bad u all had to come here! look, i didnt want to come here too, but am i complaining? instead of trying to make ur experience a better one, ure just making things bad for urself. for what?
to yx: sorry hor.. if u tink our grades r tt bad to go other sch... u r wrong! initially we r like u too but in the end... u see for urself ba!
j2: fuck off man! tt yx is bloody freaking bastard
yx: tsk. u make me sad for all of u.
jc2: fuck the sch. take 2day 4 example. we hav maths test at 0730am in LT4. and they onli on e air con at 0730. so as i was struggling to ans the qns, sweat from my head drip onto my paper. can u imagine how hot n stuffy it is in LT4 wifout air con? the air con took 30 min to take effect. my whole shirt was drenched. why cant the maths dept on the air con at say 7am? this is not the 1st time. it is either they are on budget or they r damn stupid. do they take the students welfare seriously?
jc2 (another one): i'm enjoying my time here at mjc. I love mjc!!
J2: mj is generally ok lah..cept they sumtyms dun really put student's welfare as their main priority..

The March school vacations are coming to an end. The block tests are starting next week, Tuesday for those not re-sitting for Mother Tongue, which applies to most of the cohort.
Here's a trend we've observed over the past year:
The three members of the SPCS have three different mugging patterns.
-One always mugs 24/7, regardless of whether there are tests coming up. Will definitely always do exceptionally well.
-One always wants to mug but can't seem to find enough time to mug. Eventually manages to find the time just before the tests. Will do reasonably well.
-One always doesn't know when to start mugging until it's too late, ends up doing last minute cramming. Often miraculously manages to scrape through tests, albeit barely.

From the above, able to guess who's the one posting this entry right now?

Jinx: u guys r reali being too critical abt little things. success comes frm e students too. n we're only 3 years old. looking at our statistics, we're doing v well. plus, judging frm last year's bash, u think students would come for the oc? i think not. most of us don't even wanna come, what more make it meaningful?
rui to jinx: and the reason why we dun wish to go for sch events? is a school being successful when the students dun feel homely, and theres no culture at all? i mean, what stats are there to show, we'll soon know, A levels results explain everything
Jinx: hey rui, chill. the school has only jus started man. culture, history, results n recognition ain't available on the internet. history? time is needed.

Exactly, culture ain't available on the internet, That's what the SC is for - to lead the students in creating a college culture. The success of a college depends on the leadership of its SC too. "Mermaids, Merlions, and the Lai-on's Den" ain't going to help create college culture, whoever came up with it.
GCE "A" Level results will be released this Friday. Good luck to our seniors, the pioneer batch of MJC. May you do MJC proud and make a name for the college. Maybe then we'll see MJC in the papers...

From the TagBoard:
poor: well done ! i really admire your work esp the oct incident. please do more. esp the stupid OC is nuts.
SPCS: The OC is probably just another publicity stint to promote MJC. What's the point? It's just another 'wayang'...
dee: which sch does not want to promote themselves? anyway, the oc is impt to ANY sch. what's wrong with taking the extra effort and pride in it? look at the other schs with their carnivals and shit. isn't that an even bigger publicity stunt? we as meridians should support our sch on this instead of reading too much between the lines.
SPCS [dee]: Correction: Carnivals are primarily fund-raising activities, not publicity stints.
xen: haha, our skl is only abt 2 yrs old, so it shouldnt look as 'run down' as tjc ma. i dont believe there is a skl out there which wouldnt make the place as presentable as possible for thier own OC so dun take it out so hard on the school la
xuan: shutup already, the oc was definitely necessary while THIS blog ISNT at all. n as if the opening cem is wasting any of YOUR time. even if it was, it was u ppl's choice to not back out or whatever.
SPCS [xuan]: We could choose to back out of the OC, and you could choose not to visit this site too, you know?
rui: sometimes, it is often through publicity that makes a school succeed in future, say 10 years down the road. look at rj or other schools. din they publicise themselves as much as we do? or even more.? new school campus, everywhere is up on news: tv, newspapers, bla. get what i mean? and to xuan, i hope constructive comments can be put here and not "shut up already" or smth like this. =) and to spcs, i agree with the rest that it is neccessary to do up the sch nicely for opening ceremony. its like u going to town. wont u dress up properly? however, i personally think that OC should involve as much students as possible: letting students enjoy. the majority of audience should be students, and not some impt guests. bla. choosing like 2 out of every class is simply pathetic. its after all, a school event. =)
SPCS [rui]: The reason why important guests are invited is for publicity. It's not a school event to begin with. And whether we dress up when we go out, that's a false analogy. Also, do you realise that publicity is not the basis of the success of RJC? When they shifted to their new campus, they don't go around creating publicity. The press wants to cover the event because it's RJC, a successful college. Publicity comes with success, nobodies don't go around seeking publicity. You probably won't see MJC's OC in the papers, because we're STILL nobodies...

Conclusion: The OC should be an event where all students just gather in college and celebrate our official opening, instead of some publicity event. That would be much more meaningful than Love Meridian Day.

The Meridian Junior College Opening Ceremony will be held tomorrow, more than two years after it's first intake of students.
In view of the OC, the buildings in the whole college was repainted, the hall's air-conditioning installed just weeks before, the hall's flooring re-polished and no shoes allowed in the hall. Students who were to be in the audience had to go for a "Cheering session". There were even rumours that the Principal's new car, a BMW 5-series, was bought so that she looked more presentable for the OC.
Why, everything is just so superficial. A good college, no matter how run down, will still attract students. A good example is Temasek Junior College - old building, but still a popular JC.
The OC is just another of MJC's publicity stints, taking up students' time and effort for rehearsals. Is it really necessary? Opening Ceremony? After more than two years in operation?

Jinx: lay off the J1s. don't bully em. MJ isn't as bad as u think, its simply how u choose to perceive it. i got personally blasted by her n i'm still living.

Jinx: lay off the J1. age is not a determining factor for maturity.
Silver_blaise: evidently not. but then again, dont say silly things like that and expect not to get slammed aiite ickle firstie? altho it was also nt necesary to blast him/her the way it WAS done. yes i quite agree though. the morning announcements are a right pain i the you-know -what. thank god its over. and having the school vision plastered on the side of the building is not half as inspiring as slightly nauseating. nice logo though. anyone else think so? OTHER than the fact tt it kind of resembles a dolphin. and yes. its totally unfair that we cannot wear any other shirt for PE. wth la. i seriously suggest we try talking to the PE dept.

Look, "yan". We've been through JC1, you haven't. We've seen the changes in MJC from PAE to JAE, you haven't. The JC2 are giving you advice, letting you know what MJC is like after JAE, so that you could make a more informed choice when it is your turn, and hopefully you won't regret your choice. But instead, you called us dumb, showed your xia lan cockiness. You might as well teach your parents how to make babies and raise children. If you don't want to heed the advice of so many JC2s who've been there and done that, fine. Don't call us dumb. If you were so smart in the first place, you wouldn't be in MJC. You should show your seniors the basic respect they deserve.

To "Jinx":
No point protecting the juniors from the harsh reality. They'll be exposed to it eventually. We should warn them of what they should expect so that they won't receive the full impact that we received.

Juniors, we just hope you don't regret your choice, whatever it may be.

Just some feedback from the TagBoard:
anonymous: y aren't the J2s using the hall for the CNY concert? we were the one hu raise the $$ for the air-con while the J1 juz enjoy the air-con... stupid sch!
dee: could i say something about how everyone in our sch is so busy banking in on v.day that they are neglecting the feelings of the singles out there? it's horrid during assembly nowadays
j2 student: hmmm... juz wana say tt my current count of mjc t-sht is 11, excluding 3 mjc polo shts... and there's more to come considering the new cca shts this year too... =S

Regarding the CNY concert and the air-con, the college is probably trying to persuade the JC1s to stay with MJC after PAE. They have to impress the JC1s more than they have to appease the JC2s, right?
Morning assemblies, they're getting annoyingly long with all those announcements from the various CCAs trying to make some money out of Valentine's Day. They are being totally insensitive to those who are still single or worse, out of love. Besides, didn't Ms Esther Lai say that JC is not the time to get into relationships? (remember her infamous "I see arrows flying" speech last year?) Why are there teachers encouraging these "entrepreneurs" to promote Valentine's Day?
Lastly, one can easily have more than four different types of MJC shirts - PE, House, CCA, Orientation, SYF. But how many can we wear? Only one - PE. House, Orientation and SYF shirts probably have no chance to be worn at all. Does it seem reasonable at all?
