Survival Guide in AJC
Some basic Dos and Don'ts in AJC
1) Despite the fact that the annual canteen survey mentions a tamil stall, there are NO tamil stall in AJC so don't expect there to be one.
2) Learn how to use a chopstick. Some stalls don't provide forks and spoons.
3) Do not walk pass the non-teaching staff room, or go too near to the guard house. They smoke and endanger your health.
4) Have a sharp eye for details. The "school suggestion notice boards" are constantly playing hide and seek with you.
5) Do not expect to be able to leave school early. The Early Leaving form is always available, but the authorities who can sign it are often not available.
6) Learn lips reading. The TVs located around the school shows channel news asia every morning, but there is no sound.
7) Bring a portable fan. If possible, bring a portable air-con. Like Singapore, the climate in AJC never changes.
8) Be prepared to wash your skirt/trousers anytime. You may need to sit on the auditorum floor during weekly assemblies.
9) Learn to ignore the bird droppings on the canteen table. They mean no harm.
10) Some floor toilets flush like fountains. Learn to hop around to prevent the water and urine from reaching your shoe.
11) If the toilet lights switch on suddenly when you enter, do not be alarmed. Some toilets were actually armed with motion sensors.
12) Expect the unexpected. The national flag may be redesigned during flag raising.
13) The water fountain at the front pouch has water as green as the sea. Do not drink.
14) Make yourself immune to the morning sun every thursday. The principal has a story to tell.
15) Do not say bad things about the school. The VP may expel you.
16) Sometimes the principal may go absent for a few days. Learn to get over the heartbeak.
