Next CNY: In-law: Hey, boy/girl just got O Level results back, so good! You remember what you scored? Self: No, no, so long ago, cannot remember. In-law: Ah, no problem, just check your Singpass! Self: Phone signal no good, cannot connect. In-law: Come, come, I get you wifi password, will have very ...

Can I check, since CCA is 2-3x a week, if it clashes with any programmes like MSP or other school related programmes, which one takes precedence? Are they allowed to skip 1 out of 3 CCA days? I think it may depend on the CCA. To be gone a day will be more disruptive to others in some CCAs. If not t...

Unless they want to take a science as a contrasting subject, which I think is even harder. I think Math is compulsory with either Physics or Chem (and Bio must be pai...

I think Chemistry is compulsory at most schools? I.e. if drop to one pure, I think it must (or most likely needs to) be Chemistry.

Math and Chemistry should keep a reasonable number of paths open.

My younger one wants to get a job this Nov-Dec...

I think first job doesn't really matter if related to future aspirations or preferred subjects or not. Learn some discipline, sacrifices, how to suck it up, etc...

re dropping one or take combined, I don't know the ins and outs of combined. However, my gut reaction would be to drop one. Reason being a student can only take two in JC (if go this route), might as well pick which one to whack now. May not be the case but I assume most (considering the decision) w...
