Ex-schoolgirls meeting place

hi el,
there are so many stories but dunno whether true or not. but i heard that the land of our school was previously a burial ground for manchu ppl. seems to be quite true but then again, never go and verify.

hi deedee,
i went to tjc too!
biggrin.gif
i think most ppl will go tjc, vjc or tpjc. alhana went to vjc.

i have some classmates in basketball... let me recall... do u know xiaoqing, debbie, lirong? xiaoqing is rather tall, the other two gals are more petite but very slim.
happy.gif

Hi deedee,

As Blossom remembered (
happy.gif
), I went on to VJC. Studied Arts there and went on to do business studies in NTU. I actually preferred arts subjects but the practical side of me decided to go for business studies instead. Anyway got to meet my hubby later who turned out to be an Arts student!

Hi gals,

I've heard the burial ground rumours too..really true ah? Never saw anything funny during my 4 yrs there tho....thank goodness!
 
hi alhana,
actually, i had a strange encounter in one of the toilets quite near to the old canteen. i forgot when was that... before i enter the toilet, i could hear some howling sound. i din think much of it but the moment i enter, the noise stopped. i was the only one in the toilet. the moment i stepped out, the howling started again.... though it was not nite time, i was really shocked and after that i never dare to enter the toilet alone.

happy.gif

My ROM is over...dinner will be dec 2003...
 
Hi tulips...
drop me an email here! And u too, kn! Let's talk more via email!
happy.gif


Erm... i think the reason why u can't remember any NPCC gals in NYJC, is because i joined a totally different ECA... chinese orchestra!!
biggrin.gif
Plus, i'm the low-profile kind... Hey, u said u were from guzheng... dun tell me u're also in NYJC CO???

Email me okie?
happy.gif
 
Hey, I'm from the band but that was really really loooooonnnng time ago.
I'm from SAC Pri and Sec too. Still remember that failed petticoat attempt when they tried to make ladies out of us. I recall how the checks were conducted in class and some of these classrooms had just a separating door? Then someone pass over some petticoats from once class to those who were being checked in the other class.....very funny!
And how at the end of the day, each class always hope to be the 1st to move out, depending on the gd behv......
My wedding in May 03
 
hi girls,

wonder if you girls remember we have a xiao gong there who's very wierd. there was once we were having treasure hunt in the school compound at nite and we were behind the hostel. this xiao gong pretended to be a vampire and started hopping with his hands at 90 degrees. a few of us thought it's really a vampire and were so frightened that we cried.
 
hi el,
dun remember such a person leh. but then again, my memory not that good lah...
lame.gif


eee... why he so weird??? knowing that our school has so much errie stories, he still scare ppl like that.
angry.gif
 
yeah blossom
i remember leyu.
btw my weddin pics r not out yet. gotta wait till near my actual day then can i collect the album.
blossom, since u have alredi gone thru ur customary, u mind tellin me wat to prepare for the GUO TAI LI? cos my mum and mil have no experience at all.
 
Hi Blossom,

I dun have any of the nice pics on soft copy. We have one CD-Rom of pics taken by his uncle but I dun like the shots. Mostly of his relatives only and the shots not v flattering :P

Hi dee dee,

I think the Guo Ta Li items also depends on dialect group. My parents only requested for cakes to distribute to the relatives together w the wedding invites. I think they also gave our side an ang pow (of which a portion has to be returned), a basket of fruits n hard liquor. Since both sides v chin chai (and also no experience), we kept it v simple. Oh yeah, also got si dian jin fr my MIL.
 
hi deedee,
the things to do and give during guo da li is very much dependent on your dialect.

for me, my mom requested roast pig, pin jin, cakes, canned pork legs... the roast pig was replaced by an ang pow becos my mum thought that no one will eat it anyway. my mil also gave her some oranges.

my mil requested some ang pows... for my hubby's pants, for our safety, for my mil's dress... i think...
uhoh.gif
my mom also gave my sil an ang pow, some sweets.

both my mom and mil also gave me things like jewellery, basins (for bathing babies), small lamps to light on actual day etc...

my mum and mil went to shops that sell guo da li stuff in chinatown and ask the shopkeeper for advice. ur mum and mil must also agree on the things to give. so i think it's better for u to tell them to go to the shops to buy the standard stuff and find out the customs then discuss on misc items to give.
wink.gif
 
cherubies,
My class was also punished by him to do the 500 push ups! That was when i was in the early part of Sec 1. So can u imagine how sotong we were and wat a bad impression we had of him.....

Well Well..... it's years back.
biggrin.gif
 
maya,
I remember too.... If we were good and our class behaves..... We get to be dismiss first. That was in Sec 1 and 2 rite? Afternoon Session.
happy.gif
 
bluechin,
yah... when i looked back at my photos, i look quite 'toot' cos my skirt very long, below the knee cos i'd rather looked nerdy than kana punished
lame.gif


hey cherubies,
i knew i would bump into u here
happy.gif
do u still keep in touch with any of our old classmates? im in touch with several of them n one of my hubby's fren's gf turned out to be oso an sacian
biggrin.gif


maya,
during which years were u in the military band? i was there from sec 1-4 in the flute section. how abt u?
 
Hi eunice, wah! if mention yrs, then reveal how old I am lah, shy leh, me an old bride. Anyway, that was like the early 80s? I was in saxaphone section.....
 
yunise,

lol.gif


I agree that the long girls make us "toot"
biggrin.gif

hi bluechin,
wah, you also got it...
ya lor... real torture and i dread PE lessons...

hi eunice,

hee hee, ya lor a matter of time before i appear...
nope, never keep in touch with anyone...
though one of our sec 3/4 classmates is one of my frens' fren...
other than that not really...

cherubies,

biggrin.gif
Sometimes he will even eat into the next lesson for our punishments.
sad.gif


My Discipline master and mistresses were Mr Freddrick, Mrs Chong and Mrs Joseph. <FONT COLOR="ff0000">(familiar?)</FONT>
 
yunise,
Sometimes it's really a coincidence when u meet someone whom u never knew in school but met when u r older.

Mee too went out with my colleagues only to find out that her sister whom i get along really well with turned out to be an SACian even though she has left school when i started school there.
happy.gif
 
hi blossom
actually our parents will be meeting again for the guo da li discussion durin our food-tastin session.

hey gals
anyone with mil problems?
 
hi deedee,
i see. my parents and in-laws also took the opportunity to discuss abt it during the food tasting. they are rather shy and do not wish to arrange a time to specially discuss abt it.... like a transaction.
biggrin.gif


i dun have mil problems. she treat me like her daughter.
proud.gif
do u have problems with mil?

Hi all,

Stumbled upon this thread by chance. Very surprised to know there is actually such a thread for ex Anglicans to gather. Feel so warm and nice cos all those stories u have mentioned somehow bring back fond old memories.

I'm from the 92 batch. Graduated from NUS Arts in 98. My wedding in June 03! Nice to meet u gals!

Cheers
happy.gif
 
hi woofee,
a very warm welcome to you!!!
10946.gif

10947.gif
 
Hi Woofee,

I'm from 92 batch too!
happy.gif
so glad that i have someone from the same batch here. which class were you from? maybe we know each other???

Hi Blossom,

I signed up with Golden Horse. Haven't gone for fitting cos it's still early. Scared that i'll grow fatter after fitting so better not go for fitting so early.
happy.gif
 
hi el,
golden horse is quite good. the designer seems quite nice... cant remember his name.
10956.gif


im rather kiasu wan, i went for fitting abt one year before my wedding. i wanted to get a OTR gown instead of MTM becos im not sure whether what i like from magazines will look nice on me.
talker.gif


eventually, i still went for MTM.... cant find a gown that i like.
lame.gif

happy.gif
