      For a while, I thought Eunoia was another new JC located in Eunos


      If the name cannot evoke any sense of belonging or association with the 3 feeder schools, might as well forget about it and join a more establish JC. I expected the committee to come out with a better name after so many years.

            On the contrary, I find the name unique, currently no JC starts with "E", thus the new JC shall be the EJC. According to Wikipedia, Eunoia is the shortest English word containing all five main vowel graphemes. It comes from the Greek word εὔνοια, meaning "well mind" or "beautiful thinking".

                It is the principal, teachers n students of the new jc, not the name, that will make the school beautiful. So let’s embrace it - Eunous Junior College!

                    You know ah?

                    They should do one of those crowd sourcing thing. You know ah? Organise a competition for people to come out with a name for the new JC. And we can all come out with Eunoia as the winning entry.

                      I had to check out its correct pronunciation.

                      http://mothership.sg/2015/12/theres-goi%20...%20nounce-it/
                      The word ‘Eunoia’ is the shortest English word containing all five vowels. It means the goodwill towards an audience, either perceived or real; the perception that the speaker has the audience’s interest at heart.

                      In Greek, it means “beautiful thinking” or a “well mind.”

                        Oops! Should be Eunoia Junior College[/quote]Seriously, I can imagine the number of times students asking a cabby to drive them to Eunoia JC...

                        And end up in Eunos.
