  Bo tio lah. It is weighted average with the weight being the credit units.

  Please see how gpa is calculated in Ngee Ann Poly

  http://www.np.edu.sg/aa/grade/Pages/exam_credit.aspx

  It is sum of credit units x grade points divided by the total number of credit units.

  Yes
  
  For my diploma, every semester there will be a semester GPA, as well as a cumulative GPA.

  The cumulative GPA for the very first semester of your course will be the same as the first semester's GPA, as you do not have a "previous cumulative GPA".

  However, from the second semester onwards, things starts to get harder. If your second semester's GPA drop, your cumulative will drop as well.

  Maybe i will share with you my own experience on the dangers of not working hard in poly.
  
  When i first entered poly, my first semester was easy, i got a GPA 4.0.
  
  During my second semester, i have to handle a total of 8 modules, I scored 5As and 3B+. My semester GPA was 3.791, and this caused my cumulative GPA to drop from 4.0 to 3.816. Luckily the modules which i scored B+ have lower credit units, if not my GPA will go even lower
  
  During my 3rd semester(2nd year already), i have 6 modules to handle, and i scored C and C+ for modules with higher credit units, my semester GPA was 3.135, and my cumulative dropped from 3.816(from the previous semester) to 3.580
