Camp U&I 's Union Jacket = Bogus or Real Incentives

Good News, as promised any campers who signed up for the Re:Vantage card during Camp U&I... you should have received your card through snail mail from People's Association (PA). Because we had sent your sign up forms to PA, 1 week - 2 weeks right after the camp, after we sorted out our data. =D

If you had not received your card, most likely you will get it soon in your mailbox or you might have to re-signup again here:
http://myrp.rp.sg/SLA/RPSC/Lists/0809%20revantage%20Signup/overview.aspx

Bad News, campers, your promised gift, the "Union Jacket" approval is ... under pending I suppose. We had proposed this free gift along with the camp itself, but the Union Jacket's approval seems to take a longer time than expected.

At the mean time, I have something interesting & funny to share,

Management says..

1."We will do it" means "You will do it"

2."You have done a great job" means "More work to be given to you"

3."We are working on it" means "We have not yet started working on the Same"

4."Tomorrow first thing in the morning" means "Its not getting done "At least not tomorrow!"

5."After discussion we will decide-I am very open to views" means "I Have already decided, I will tell you what to do"

6."There was a slight miscommunication" means "We had actually lied"

7."Lets call a meeting and discuss" means "I have no time now, will Talk later"

8."We can always do it" means "We actually cannot do the same on time"

9."We are on the right track but there needs to be a slight extension Of the deadline" means "The project is screwed up, we cannot deliver On time."

10."We had slight differences of opinion" means "We had actually Fought"

11."Make a list of the work that you do and let's see how I can help You?" means "Anyway you have to find a way out no help from me"

12."You should have told me earlier" means "Well even if you told meEarlier that would have made hardly any difference!"

13."We need to find out the real reason" means "Well I will tell you Where your fault is"

14."Well Family is important; your leave is always granted. Just Ensure that the work is not affected," means, "Well you know..."

15."We are a team," means, "I am not the only one to be blamed"

16."That's actually a good question" means "I do not know anything About it"

17."All the Best" means "You are in trouble"

Disclaimer: All the above quote is only for entertainment use and is not RPSU or my opinion. Should any of the above sounds or looks familiar to you or any organization, it is purely coincidence.

Well, it was quite a fun article that I received in my email, I think it was some kind of chain mass mail or something. But I guess you should know what it meant. =)

Why RP might start school at 10 am next academic year?

YO! Yin Yang YO!
Anyway, this time our poll reached a whooping 72 votes!!! Its 3X more votes than the last poll of only 24 votes! Woohoo!
...
-_-!!! Yeah... 72 votes is nothing compared to our 10000+ student population in RP... sian.

So, here are the collated poll results!!!

Question: Why RP might start school at 10 am next academic year?
A compulsory PE class each week for all guys in the early morning - 34 votes
Give RP students more time to rest well - 7 votes
Beneficial for students living far away from Woodlands - 23 votes
Facilitators themselves can't reach school punctually - 8 votes

Winner is "A compulsory PE class each week for all guys in the early morning".

Edited: Even though the winner is our poll's first choice, but it might not necessary be the case cause RP might have other arrangements for everyone in the coming academic year. Perhaps it might be year 1s come to class in the morning and year 2s & 3s start school later at 10? Then there will be more time and resources for me to play sports without any evil seniors occupying the court in the evening! YAY! Nah... just a guess... =)

---

Here are some fabulous comments from the general student population, (which is YOU! Yea YOU!)

passerby: can we not have pe in the morning, so tiring. Later we come in class hot and sweaty. it is going to be uncomfortable for us. just my opinion ;D peace

chris: IF pe is really implemented, there will be a shower time after the lesson before your school time.

luiteng: lets say PE is implemented for the whole school in the morning,so are there going to be enough time and shower rooms for us to shower?

chris: should pe be implemented, it will be only for guys. each class will have 1 pe lesson / week. it can be monday or anyother days. So PE lessons will be by class or randomly asorted groups.

chris: shower will be at sports complex. well... watever i said below is just a guess. rp might have other things in mind. =D

luiteng: even if for guys but given the limited no. of shower rooms,i dont tink will be enough for guys rite?..well lets wait for more news for now...

Ishardi: What? School starts 10 am starting next year? I don't believe it! If so, then what time does the lesson ends? Does anyone knows?

yousof: hi Ish, that is just a thought that is not confirmed , year 3 will start at 10am, the guys will come at 830 for napfa training, the class still ends at 430 with shorter breaks

yousof: year1&2 will not be affected though. Then again, this was said to be unconfirmed, u'll get notified in email if anything ;)

I suppose many of the year 3s now know that they have to do some kind of Napfa preparation course in the coming academic year after seeing the news...

Republic Polytechnic's deputy director for office of student and graduate affairs, Mr Wilson Ang, said that to better prepare students for NS, its male Singaporean students will undergo a 26-hour preparatory course.

It would start six to eight months before they take their Napfa tests, he said.

The students will go through physical conditioning to build up muscles, and train for the different stations which they will go through during their Napfa tests.

Mr Ang said: 'We are shifting from the voluntary basis to a more directed approach, where students are arranged by cohort and diploma, and if only a few students from a particular class turn up, the school directors will be informed. But it is still not compulsory for students to attend.'
