Nianting's two cents worth.

My two cents worth of how i feel about bzse after one semester.

Initially, BZSE wasn't even my top choices. Getting a L1R4 of 11, i had not much of choices. I wanted business studies but that was eventually out because of the low grades that i have. media was out too because of my english results. engineering and infocomm technology wasn't my cup of tea, and thus, what eventually was left, was humanities. i got to admit that i was interested in most of the humanities courses, such as psychology, early childhood, child psychology. but business & social enterprise? no way. i had to put it in my choices because i didn't have much choice and i thought i won't be given a place in that course.

However, on the release of results, i got a shock when i saw "Dear student, you have been given a place in Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Business & Social Enterprise (N79). Congratulations."

Congratulations? on getting into something that i didn't want?

Reluctantly, i went to school on 20th april. The first lecture was on Economics and my tutor showed the class a video on social entrepreneurship, and i was already touched by the things a social entrepreneur can do to help the needy. however, i was not convinced that i will enjoy this course. the next few days was fast and i was basically given more information on BZSE and by now, i must admit that i am liking the course!!

Now, after almost a semester in BZSE, i must say that despite the tremendous workload, sleepless and foodless night, staying in school till late, i really enjoy the things we do in BZSE.


Wonderful classmates and awesome lecturers, meaningful purpose, what more can i ask for?

Hello people!

Just a short basic introduction on myself.

I'm Cheong Nian Ting, currently a student of Ngee Ann Polytechnic, School of Humanities (HMS), pursuing a Diploma in Business & Social Enterprise (BZSE).

I have set up this blog to share my experiences on BZSE and what I've learnt in BZSE so far as a Year 1 student. I hope that these reflections, and experiences would be able to attract YOU, as a graduating student in your respective secondary schools to think thrice (or more!) about BZSE, and put BZSE as one of your 12 JAE choices.

Please, however, take note that this is NOT, i repeat, this is NOT an official website for BZSE. Here is a space for me to update on my feelings and whats not, it's not an official BZSE blog or website.

Till then, and I'll try my best to keep this space updated regularly.

Here's a big shout out to graduating students, Sec 4 Express, 5 Normal, ITE soon to be graduates students, ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR EXAMINATIONS! :)
