Wishcumstrue 6th Gear December 31, 2015 Share December 31, 2015 Uh... Then Jurong JC should change name to Corporation JC since the address is 800 corporation road? If you look at the map, the new JC is right beside Marymount road. JJC general premise within Jurong which is the general location. Common sense. As for that new Atas JC, it will be build on an existing golf range which is closing today just to make way. Asiaone (Jan 2014) Closure of range blow to golfers Wanna guess what's the address where the new JC will be build on ?

Wishcumstrue 6th Gear December 31, 2015 Share December 31, 2015 Trinity JC sounds better. Sin Ming JC better since the location is already well known, and not counting the nearby famous 光明山庙 has similar tone "ming". When people waan go for prayer at Sin Ming, people will know liao. actually Thomson JC sounds alright 1. it's located near Upper Thomson Road 2. Thomson was a pioneer who contributed much to Singapore 3. Thomson is ang moh mia, also sounds atas Too bad, apparently "Thomson" does not sound atas enuf for MOE. That's why that super-duper chim Greek word to make the new JC even more super~Atas. It is like some people like to given themselve fantantic sounding angmoh name to be "高人一等" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
