LOL and behold! The 1.8K Clock!
LOL and behold!
Yep. Thay tiny little thing over there is AJC's legendary new purchase, a digital clock that cost its entire JC2 population S$1850. Lets look at some of its features:
1) Accurate up to 1 minute.
2) 2 blinking dots that blinks every second.
3) Can see the time at night in case exams were conducted after 7pm.
4) Brillant Red Colour
5) Flown in from Sweden
WOW! Nothing a S$18 bedside digital alarm clock can't provide, with the exception of the lack of need to change batteries regularly.
A bedside digital alarm clock costing approx 1/100 the price of AJC's new clock
AJC believes in recycling, and our old wise clock which was contributed by the 1993 batch in the hall had been shifted one level down, to our canteen.
It literally pays to be in a school that cares so much for the students' welfare.
There are many students who don't own a watch or a handphone to tell time. Really!
Update:
Someone from IJC, after taking a look at the photo of our 1.8K clock commented:
According to reliable sources, IJC has 62 similar clocks.

omfg....if you hadn't point that out in yr pic i wouldn't have known the clocks there

Students who sit at the back can see it of course. Anything that is bright and placed in a dark area can be seen easily.
obviously, that clock does not seem to be costing $1800.
why?

the old clocks are much better. at least they are big and can show time clearly. and most importantly, i dun have to pay for it. so in conclusion, to the AJC SC: i've got two middle fingers and they are pointing at u all.
really. the SC is really losing their touch. $1.8k for a clock that's supposed to be symbolic. One would almost expect it to be at least alittle different from a normal clock. This is just too disappointing.
