Yeah the internet was pretty fast. A little unreliable though; there were a few days each month when we had "limited or no connectivity" and that sucked. Yep! Own room. Mainly because J2s get to share a room with only 1 other person, and since the other person in my room left Singapore suddenly, I ended up having it all to myself. Aw, lazy lazy. ;) Cleaning toilets is a good habit. Uni is, despite what ppl might say, actually busier than JC. If you're doing a subject you really enjoy though, studying becomes waaay more fun than at A Levels. heh, and the busy-ness is pretty fulfilling. Btw, Temasek JC is now fifth rank? It was fourth a couple of years ago. And I think AJC climbed a bit :) So I heard they had Delifrance food; I didn’t get to enjoy it while I was there.

I would not say which hostel I onced lived in, but I think you know because I told you the last time we met :) haha! Okay anyway over at my hostel we don't have air conditioners, and the food sucks! It got better after changing the caterer, but things got worse again over time. Gee. Oh and for Internet access, it's terrible over here!

This year they changed their caterer to the same one as Hwa Chong's (I think? if poor memory serves me somewhat right), and now on certain days boarders get to eat Delifrance pastries, Western food, nicefood*(n). Internet, both LAN and wireless, 2 bus stops on straight road to college, entirely walkable in 15 minutes, running track, all free. (Yes, the internet is entirely free. Which was actually bad, because it was a terrible distraction.) Aaaaand we had our own showers and toilets in our rooms. And if you're lucky, as I was, you get your own room in J2. The only diff would be we had no swimming pool, or some of the other facilities you enjoy. But we have a sea view (free). Plus sea breezes (free). :P I know, I'm cheapo. But I couldn't resist replying when the old Singaporean kiasuism kicked in while reading your post, hehe. Hope your JC experience is going well!
