Hi gals,
Nice to hear from you!
Guess I must be the youngest here. Graduated from Sec in 1996. hehehe. Can guess my age already.
Seabreeze, you are 3 years older than me. Are you from the same Sec. too? Could have seen you before! And must have coz' I have fond memories in IJ and remembered most seniors by their faces.
Pheb, are u the same year as me? Why did you get transferred out so soon? Which secondary sch did u go in the end? Sorry, a bit kpo!
Mtdt, perhaps, I have seen you in Primary sch. Did you study before in the town convent?
Did anyone of you gals go back to IJ before it was torn down to renovate? Heard there was a mass conducted before it was closed. Went back recently, after the school was moved to another premise. Wanted to see one last time how my beloved sch looked like before it was torn down and rebuilt to a building not familiar to me anymore.
Do u all keep in touch with your old sch mates from IJ?

Hmm...Nope, I am not 1980 one... much older lah! ;p I was at TPY school since Pri 2. Pri 1 was at Kellock.
I went back to IJ before the reno. There was a carnival/fun fair on a weekend before it was closed for the reno.
It is quite sad to see that the lovely old building got to go. Met up with my classmates and we went round the school to take pics. When we were in our old Sec 4 class, we were like back to school, saying who sits here and who sits there...So fun...
My Sec sch frens are mine best frens.. we still have regular gathering...

Hello Seniors,
Hehehe...Agree with you two, Ms De Souza is fierce. But she is a very senior teacher there and I respect her alot. She was my Pri. 1 teacher in Hibicus. On the first day, me already got a smack on my hand coz' I wrote my "10" wrongly. The zero was written smaller than the one.
The one whom I was scared of was a teacher who taught in Daisy class and Ms Rodrigues of Orchid class. When they scream, the entire level can hear. My fav teacher is Mrs Bheem, strict but very caring.
In primary sch then, when my teacher was absent, the two teachers would sometimes come in and supervise, our class did not even make a single noise!
I don't really remember any dance for an opening day. Perhaps, they scraped such a dance during my time. I remebered we did a play in Pri. 1 and it was the Persian Market. And then in late Pri. 5, we did a musical "Annie". But I guess, by then you all would have been in Secondary sch.
Regarding the bookshop auntie, I remembered I would always stand a distance away from the shop and look at the furry stickers or those very nice notebooks. If I stood too close, the bookshop aunty would ask me what I wanted to buy and then I would start to stammer...
In Sec. school, I loved sch masses and also the best of all... IJ Fiesta! Lotsa fun!

Hi all,
The Mrs Bheem I am referring to is Mrs Magdalene Bheem, shoulder length hair lady? Come to think of it, I suddenly remembered also Mrs Yvonne Lee-something. Forgot her surname.
She used to teach Lit. Still remembered Mid Summer Night's dream. And she makes our lit. class come alive! Very good teacher!
Jumped and Pheb, sounds like this songs get stuck in our heads.
I still have those mass songs inside my head. Back then, I can even remember the whole mass by heart.
I like the father Barre song, but guessed back then, my French is a mess.
Back then also, I remembered us wearing the red Singapore skirt during National Day in Primary school! Hmmm...Those were the days.

Hi jumped,
I agree with you. We had one of the biggest sch then. But after a while, everybody thot our school looked like some prison from the outside; with those spikes...
Remembered, my fav. lit. teacher is Mrs Yvonne Lee Khoo.
Wish, our school was still in the Old Convent. Anyone thot of having their wedding at CHIJMES? Me thot of once, but it is expensive! $3K for just rental alone.

hi alhana,
glad that you had a nice holiday.
yes, i managed to go for my vacation but i went down under instead. we realised the europe trip is way too expensive and it is going to be peak holiday season there especially with the euro cup.
i had a great time in australia too. the weather is very sunny, the temperature is still ok although it is supposed to be winter.

Hi Blossom,
Good to hear u managed to take that well-deserved vacation
Which part of Australia did ya go? Yah, Europe will be v expensive. Not sure abt the Euro cup being a hindrance tho. I was in UK & France during the World Cup and Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee celebrations, and the atmosphere then was electric! Made it a very memorable experience. Still, I dun think I'll venture to Europe anytime soon..the Euro and sterling pound are a huge deterrence!

Hi Girls..
A bit of sad news. Mr Quah passed away early this morning and there is services for him in Singapore Casket from today onwards.
He's like part of the school and something died along with him today. I guess even the weather is mourning together with the school.
If there is a teacher I wont forget it will be him. I dread PE and all the sports practise he forces on us but I saluate him for the respect he manage to squeeze out of all the girls.
Regards
