Hi guys!
Hi!
Were you from JC or Poly?
I am from Meridian Junior College. Singapore Poly.
Poly. JC!
I'm from a Junior College. Okay, I'm from Poly.
I hated waking up early.
I like not having to be
micromanaged by the teachers.
We don't have any hands-on
especially for the arts stream.
When we graduate, we really have no skills.
The general stereotype is that
Poly kids are more street smart.
JC kids are more book-smart.
But, I think that stereotype was true maybe like 7 years ago or something.
Like JC people, they have no fashion sense.
Oh ya, because they always only wear the uniform.
Poly kids are very lepak one.
Why must do this?
Hang loose yo!
In this episode of Singaporeans Try,
we will be challenging JC VS Poly stereotypes.
Oh... We got to represent man.
What do you mean?
Oh my god, I'm so good at oral.
I have to admit I'm not very good at pronouncing stuff.
Ok, talk louder.
You are such a ****.
Did you just say I suck a ****?
Ready and go!
Ivy, privy, famous, clamour.
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb.
Doll and roll and some and home.
Doll and roll and sum and hump.
Eh? Home-o-o-o-o-oome.
Souls but foul.
Haunt but aunt.
Font, front, won't, want
grand and grant.
Font, front, wong??
Shoes , goes, does.
Now, first say finger
and then singer, ginger, linger.
Real, zeal...
Oh my god.
I don't know is mao or mao-vee.
Real, zeal...
mao-eee
Real, zeal, mouth...
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze
and gauge.
Marriage, foliage...
Marriage, foliage, mirage and age.
Mirage and age.
Are you sure it is not meragay?
Oh my god! Winna, you win eh.
Adli got 4 wrong and James got 3.
Yay!
Nicole wins.
But I think some of these right,
we don't use it often.
We don't even use it at all.
I don't think all of us are creative.
We are just forced to be creative sometimes.
JC right, there's literally no chance for you to show what.
What are you going to do?
Draw a picture and you get A for GP? No what.
Ok, the time starts now.
Last time, when I only had 2 containers of legos right,
then I went to make a skateboard out of the lego.
Huh? Not pain meh?
Pain la but ...
See? That's not creative anymore,
because she is making use of the templates!
Actually, creativity has no right or wrong answers.
But, got better or not better.
30 more seconds. Ok, ok, ok.
I wanted to make a bowl
but it looks like the squat toilet in the toilet now.
My art piece is called the metaphor of life.
There are actually a lot of opportunities and
[Fast forward of Alison's theory about life]
And she sees the amazing apples out there.
I call it the Adlijandro's Amusement Park.
Win liao lor.
What the hell. Mine is a gun.
Mine is something more practical.
You know?
Not so much imaginary or whatever.
Are you throwing shade?
RUDE! Oh my god.
When you do this right,
and then you can change.
Oh my god, is that like the magazine?
Yeah, the magazine.
This is the scene from the start up.
Then, Joyce is here,
walking past.
K, k, k. Don't tell me the whole web series.
It's a cross-species co-existence kind of concept.
What would you name your art piece?
Dystopian Beasts.
Beasts??
Wait, wait. Let me close the window.
And the winner is....
Joyce la.
Why?
James!
Ok, ok.
Triggered.
So, Ali(son) is the winner!
3,2,1.
It's a vagina.
Is vagina the whole thing?
Oh my god. Oh! I know.
This one you put egg right.
Yeah. Confirm.
There is a real word for it though.
Yeah, I know. I put the real word.
Are you copying me?
NO!
1,2,3.
I don't even know. What the?
Dude, what is urethra?
I don't know how to spell. I just know got this few vowels.
What's this? What's this? James got all correct.
Oh my god! Oh my god, what the hell?
Then, is R vagina?
The R is vagina.
Hi-five.
4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 54...
Wah, I hate this kind eh.
Oh my god, I totally forgot about the 5 sweets ah!
Oh, ok.
B dot dot G,
Boys one girls.. Did you just copy me?
What the heck?
She still can read out B dot dot.
Aiyah, oh mygod. Need calculator.
Can you have calculator please?
Eh, please please please.
please please please.
Shh, I cannot think.
OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG.
OMG, OMG, OMG
Both of you are wrong.
Both of you got it wrong.
Huh? Really?
Is it 100?
Can I give up?
Shit, I'm wrong.
Eh!
Were you very guai?
I break rules very cleverly one.
I was like a paikia.
In poly, it is quite liberal right?
It's like, you can dye your hair.
So, It is not really rebellious in a sense. Yeah.
It's just that you can do it.
Oh, okay.
Because I'm muslim, halal.
So, that one cannot.
I never puke before but I was damn drunk,
till I was a bit woozy.
Yeah, I think have lor.
I play LAN.
I will go to Changi Airport and stay overnight and study.
Huh? That one rebellious meh?
That one is calle hardworking la, in JC.
Tell me which JC kid out there you go home you straight away play?
No time K.
Oh. Plenty of times.
It is a very common thing to skip school in poly.
It is almost as if the poly system is designed
knowing that y'all will skip school.
I got A.W.O.L.
And then, I had to go through a detention of 6 hours,
doing nothing but read an inspirational book.
So, did you skip school after that, again?
Yes la but..
I think maybe the first few times when I
went to my boyfriend's house.
I said it was for a school activity.
I think I have.
Like, I go study but I actually went dancing.
I photoshop my result slip.
Oh my god!
No, like legit. No, it;s legit. FORGERY!
That is just to
show my parents.
I love how you just like
that one is just for my (parents).
It's wrong!
No, really, really!
Yes.
Never.
She confirm have.
Actually don't... Oh yeah yeah.
In secondary school have.
Please put down the finger.
Do you think these stereotypes are true?
These stereotypes are not true.
I feel like I fit the stereotypes uh.
So, I don't challenge.
I think that, the JC people,
are more proficient in technical areas.
For poly people right, they are a bit more resourceful.
At least for this case right, they are not true.
But, there are certain truths to it.
Stereotypes don't just happen for no reason.
Yeah, exactly.
All I would advise you guys is that,
list down
the pros and cons on what you think
is suitable for you.
I think if you
are interested in more niche subjects,
going to a poly will be better.
If you don't want to wash your clothes, then you can go JC.
Then you can keep rewearing.
But, if you want to skip school, then go poly lor.
Please never be a career advisor.
