Interesting narrative comments on N2018 P2


\"In the castles of House Straightus As, the soldiers were preparing for war. The almighty House Cambridge had torn through the lands and within a few weeks, they will be at the Straightus stronghold. They have been told of this coming attack for years, but no amount of TYS scrims, lectures in the Art of ECF, and wellfare supply packs will prepare them for this. The citizens of Straightus are clearly on edge. The parents of the soldiers are in a constant state of worry, continuously supplying the militia with coffee and chicken essence. Make no mistake, war is coming.

The Straightus had run ins with the enemy before, notably against small divisions led by General Practical. The Straightus viking ships could not withstand the unique weather of Physicsa, notably the \"Plasticine Rain\", where balls of plasticine drops from the sky. Luckily, a special technique involving a merry-go-round proved to be effective as 50% of General Practical forces were wiped out. However, it was nothing compared to what was coming.

It was a quiet dawn. A scout was patrolling the strongholds as usual. However, in the fog, he notices something peculiar. He takes his spotting lens and drops it in horror after he realises what he saw. He ran to the nearest belltower and rang it as hard as he could. \"They're here! The A-pocalypse is upon us!\"

The soldiers are awaken from their slumber and immediately sprang into action. For 2 years, they have prepared for this. For some, 6. For some, their entire lives. They fell into formation, shields in hand, MF26s in the other.

As the fog cleared, the sheer might of the Cambrigean forces became apparent. The frontline stretched across the horizon, going as far back as the length of East West line. When it is working, of course.

The catapults of the Cambridgean forces deployed into formation. Archers on both sides ready their bows, awaiting the command. The Straightus Generals have fought in battles like this before. They now lead a new generation into battle.

\"Charge!\" The Straightus forces storm out of the fortress in a swarm, prepared to clash into the Cambridgean frontlines. Despite their best efforts, the soldiers fell one by one. They were clearly outmatched. Nevertheless, they pressed on, for king, for country, for the coveted university slot.

However as the battle went on, it was a clear defeat. The Straightus forces retreat back into the strongholds. \"We have lost forces to General General Paper and General Math P1. General Chemistry is making a strong foothold in our territory.\" A general reported to the Straightus high command. \"Hmmm, we must await General Math P2 for reinforcements. Till then, we shall defend this siege till we die.\"

The Straightus forces endured the siege through the weekend, through sun and rain, in the hopes of a miracle. On that fateful Wednesday, General Math P2's forces made their way into Straightus.

\"Sir, General Math P2 has arrived.\" A messager reported to the Lord Straightus. \"Very well, let's walk and talk.\" General Math P2 followed behind Lord Straightus.

\"As you know, General P2, your arrival has been of great importance to us. The battle against your brother P1 has seen many casualties on our front and we believe you can help us turn the tides. Now, I suggest we...\" Before Lord Straightus could finish his thought, a knife is plunged into his chest. He clutches his heart as his limb body fell to the floor. A red fog blurred his vision, but he could make out the figure who just assisinated him.

\"Et tu, P2?\"

\"Sorry for the inconvenience old friend. Cambitch forever.\"

Hi all


My ds is doing his O levels this year..He is undecided between a JC or Poly and is only focused on clearing his O's. He does very well for Maths/A Maths/ Science (com) A1s but lags in MT and EL - C5s. Character wise he is an introvert and spends his weekends studying and completing homeworks. Our main aim as parents is for him to go to a local Uni and get a degree and JC seems the most viable option. Nwdays the cut off points seem lower and lower and i presume my ds is about 10-12 pointer in O levels.

What would be your advise as he has not mentioned any career paths aside from prob teaching. He seems a sure hit for most poly courses but wondering if GP might be a hill too high in JC for him? Not expecting the top JC but the 2nd tiers (if there is such lol) are an achievable option.

Go to JC if he pass his O level english. JC maths is more vigorous than poly maths. I had a tutee who got double maths A1 but got C5 or C6 for English. He went to SRJC and got A for h2 maths, pass GP. He got a place in NUS engineering. His brother failed O level english and went to poly. Poly maths is way easier than h2 maths. Should he manage to go to university, his maths cannot compare to those who took h2 maths in JC. He needs to achieve a GPA of at least 3.6 to get into NUS or NTU engineering, which means majority of his modules must score A. This is not easy. And he had to retake and pass O level english which he did.

My English wasn't very good too. In school prelim, i got C. In O level improve to B3. Went to AJC did double maths. And then went NTU engineering and got 1st class honours. Many poly graduates who went to university struggle with university maths while I could cope well because of the JC maths training I had.

I am a h2 maths tutor. Some students prefer to pay me per lesson. Some pay in advance. For those who pay me per lesson, they pay me by cash or through the app DBS Paynow or DBS Paylah. For those who pay in advance, I have a form to ask the student to sign each lesson.
