      My boy did not want to get any other book apart from those recommended authors. He's afraid he might end up with sth too low std, then cant meet the requirements.

      I got Liu Yong's \"zhao yue zi ji\" for him. It is primarily letters from the dad to the son and the son's thoughts too.
      My son went to school library just now, then he said he didn't know how to find. *haha*. I'll bring him to the public library nearby later and see if have any.

        Like what my boy said, just take any from the recommended authors- safest bet.

          i brought him to the public library just now. found a book with the help of the library staff. i asked the staff to recommend something that might be suitable for my boy. She said either the 冰心 ones or 尤今. hai, why the booklist printed teh 尤今 name wrongly... Anyway, we got a 尤今, bc that is a singapore writer, so the language might be more what we are used to. Also, the 冰心 books look so old.

              Hi,I’m a student here and would like some opinions on NJC such as the teachers,workload etc. Considering the school for DSA(yes a bit late,i know).Been browsing through the pages since evening.On page 84 now.


              Should I consider this school for DSA Academics? My results ranged like this:

              English: 86.8/100 (Top: 87.3/100)
              Maths: 93/100 (Top: 98/100)
              Science: 77/100 (Top: 84.5/100) 😧
              Chinese: 87.3/100 (Top: 91+/100)
              HCL: Merit

              My results are mediocre but I really wish to get into NJC. Please advise! TIA!

                you can always try, bc all applicants will be given the chance to take the tests.

                  Yeah,i know that... but i'm thinking if my capabilities are good enough for NJC.If not,i would not waste the $50 needed to pay for the test...
