JAE

Since I can't sleep, I have decided to type up a blog post. This one's gonna be about the JAE, which was quite a struggle. Thank god that war's over and done with.

So, when I got the JAE results by sms that morning, I got posted to Temasek Polytechnic. The course I was posted to was my 6th choice in JAE. I was pretty upset that I didn't get into Ngee Ann or Singapore Polytechnic, but I was pretty grateful considering hearing of many friends getting posted to Republic Polytechnic. I cried for quite some time, and after I was slightly more clear minded, I went to turn on my laptop and went onto the JAE Appeal portal to submit an appeal. 


Fast forward to the JAE Appeal results day. I woke up in the morning to prepare for work, and I was checking my emails. I saw this email from Temasek Polytechnic, so I was like "huh what's going on". Nonetheless I still went onto the website to find out what exactly was going on. Once I logged in to the portal, I saw this. 


Well, this obviously scared the hell out of me because my place in Temasek was declined. I was pretty sure I didn't receive my enrolment package yet so I couldn't have lost my place out of the blue. I rushed to the JAE Appeal portal and the site says that results will be released at 2pm. Then it struck me. What if my appeal failed? Wouldn't I have no school? 

I decided to wait for the results to be released, then decide whether I have to call up Temasek or not. I had my lunch break for work at 3pm, so once I got myself settled down with my food, I decided to access the portal to witness my fate. The site was jammed up, so I only managed to log in nearing the end of my break, which means to say that I spent an hour getting so freaked out over the results. 

And when the page finally loaded, I saw this!


Man, I was so overjoyed I called up my dad and told him the great news. I was so excited because I made it into Ngee Ann Polytechnic~! Hooray! 

That's pretty much the whole JAE mess that happened in the month of February. It's already 1.03am, time to sleep. Goodnight, and bye.
