First things first: PRE UNIVERSITY SEMINAR ROCKED. HARD.

Besides the JCs, the polytechnics and IP schools (e.g. River Valley, NUS High etc) participated as well. Each institution (they use this word over "school". Lol.) was assigned a topic pertaining to the current economic crisis and had to do a presentation on it. For example, YJC's topic was "Expression & Crisis", about how the arts community was doing in the midst of the economic crisis. It was the J2s who presented, so we J1s had more time off XD But we helped them of course~

Every participant was assigned into a Seminar Group, whereby everyone was mixed with students from other schools. Every day, we would have to attend a Parallel Presentation session, whereby we would watch the institutions assigned to present their, erm, presentations on their topic. Afterwards, we may grill ask them questions on their topic. Other activities basically revolved around doing stuff to bond as a group, such as games in Sentosa and "Amazing Race"-styled activity. Oh, and each of us had to sew on a patch of cloth, any design, any picture of our choice with words that complied with the Seminar's theme, From Crisis to Confidence. By the end of the seminar, all of our patches will be displayed like a giant patchwork quilt :3

My only gripe? We had to be in FORMAL institution attire when we attended the presentations. Which equates to blazers, ties and long sleeved shirts underneath. Not pleasant at all in Singapore's warm weather u.u But I have to admit we do look rather smart in them XD The poly students look so professionally grown up in formal attire, while the JC students look like we're trying too hard to look grown up :p

Photos are up in the GALLERY, and unlike those I uploaded on Facebook, these included pictures of my small cosy room and the hostel grounds @ Prince George's Park Residences~
