Honestly didn't know what the program (i.e. learning journey/field trip) was about, till I actually went lolol. When I got nominated to go, I thought it was a conference LOL but it really isn't...... I guess it was a really eye-opening experience and getting to know more about what Singapore's Public Servants do. I'm not going to lie and said I had the best time of my life because it was really quite boring and AWKWARD 90% of the time. 

Majority of those who went were younger J1s from freaking elite schools (we're talking Raffles JC, Raffles Institution, Victoria JC, Temasek JC.....), and only like 5 were from poly lolol. And the only other guy from my Poly (not my course) was quite dao to me (¬､¬). So throughout the entire trip I was just ~floating~ around......... LOL. And the people I managed to stick to (and talk a bit) all had their own friends from their own schools (¬､¬) 

And I think not knowing anyone there made my experience not as pleasant as I would have liked it to :-( But I REALLY REALLY REALLY enjoyed the Prison tour!!!!!!!!!! We actually got to go in, see the prisoners and their "home", and even talk to the Prison officers and Superintendent. I managed to ask if there were anything for Psychologists to do in a Prison, and the superintendent told me all about a Prison Psychologist's job!!!!!!!! 

So really that one prison trip made the entire program (kind of) worth my 18 hours/2 days of school, because I'm actually quite interested to work in the prison/police force :----) I managed to find scholarships for that job too so I'm hoping it's a path I'll look into after I graduate :-) 

So all in all, I'm thankful I got the opportunity to even go and be with elite students cause that made me quite proud too :--------)
