If you get a chance, walk up the magnificient wooden staircase to the upstairs where the Principal's Office was!<br /><br />You must be living up on the hill just behind the school. You lucky devil!<br /><br />But no, it would break my heart to watch the desolation and obliteration of my childhood.<br /><br />Look out some evening and you might see the ghost of a scruffy kampung girl swinging like mad on the swing. <br /><br />Chin, you have yourself a good life in my Pasir Panjang world.anak si-hamidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936071509364600235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-27542043220196463272021-10-29T11:29:58.670+01:002021-10-29T11:29:58.670+01:00Hello!

Wanted to learn more about the history of the school and this area, and enjoyed reading your articles on 1950s life in Pasir Panjang. Thank you for memoralising it all! Looking forward to reading more articles, stay unapologetically spunky!<br /><br />- ChinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-7585372406267272632012-10-05T00:59:28.028+01:002012-10-05T00:59:28.028+01:00Love that sentence "never a wall between us a...Love that sentence "never a wall between us and the teachers".<br /><br />They were first class teachers and Mr Chia Wai Chee was one of them.

Teachers in those days were not just professionals but caring and loving for the young ones in their care, whatever their colour.<br /><br />I was educated by such teachers and I would like to think that I have done the same for those who went through my classrooms. anak si-hamidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936071509364600235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-12351083449860476612012-09-27T11:55:58.862+01:002012-09-27T11:55:58.862+01:00What a lovely reminiscence, of days when teachers ...What a lovely reminiscence, of days when teachers were teachers, not salaried workers, and when there was no racial divide.
