so, a number of JCs will be merged and combined..
fortunately or unfortunately, my dear JJC is one of the JC that will be merged. and it will shift out of the current premise. sadx.
and on 5oct, there was a curtain call for all the alumni to come gather and visit for the one last time before the school closes and shifts.
so hubb and i came back to the school, somewhere which i honestly had not visited ever since graduating from there.
JJC......... honestly, bitter-sweet memories. it wasnt my 1st choice back then. unfortunately, i wasnt good enough for the preferred choices and since many of my sec school mates chose to come to this JC, i followed suit.
will never forget the super long journey to school. take a bus to bukit merah interchange before taking the 198 to start the 1hr journey to school. really. then i remembered memorising the SAT cards first, before falling asleep on the bus. haa..
the foyer area. i remembered this place as the place where we held the CCA orientation event. u know, the event where all CCA set up booths to attract freshies to join their CCA...?
LT5. the largest LT in the school. honestly, my recollection of JC life is really really very vague and limited. probably becuz it's the shortest stay throughout the education life. pri sch is 6yrs, sec sch is 4yrs, uni is 3yrs, but JC only 2yrs. less the holidays etc, probably only 1.5yrs. so really very vague.
one of the classroom. this really did not change much.
and the track! i remembered being super on back then. took own initiatives to run the 2.4km very frequently (but cannot remember how frequent liao. lol)
and the sports area... the suicide window. haha. i got no problem with this.
but, i will always remember this wall. becuz no matter how hard i tried, i just could not get over this wall. that was 1 time, i remembered trying so hard that there was a huge red bump on my arm after the failed attempts.
and boy, super glad to see some of the old teachers.
ms betty lim, our form teacher in yr2. super nice lady. unfortunately, she cannot really remember me liao. still looks the same!!!
符老师, our chinese teacher. honestly did not age much either!!!! what did they eat xia?? 15yrs liao lehh!
our discipline master!! mr lee hee fok. woohoo!
mr chin. my physics teacher. he is one teacher whom i truly respect. he's not that kind who will answer your questions directly. rather, he will question you back and make you think, until you get the answer yourself. really. and... and....... he was a teacher who suggested me to take S paper for physics. i really dont know what made him has that idea, but i still truly appreciate that.... that someone does see some potential in me. LOL
and 白老师. a very nice teacher also. always remembered him playing badminton in the hall... and his very funny laughter.
and this teacher, ms lim li san. my GP teacher. it really took me a while to recognise her. in fact, i also cannot remember her name liao. hahaha... still as skinny as ever. that time when she came to teach us, she was a new graduate from NIE. there were a few of them, all new and young back then. so, i guess she's probably just a few yrs older than us.
it was quite a big event with 2 stages professionally set up.
really like at a concert
got photobooths also..
and many items to buy for keepsake! we bought the JJC bears and the home t-shirts.
not bad an event and really glad to see the teachers again. though many were still not there..
yay. like i say, jjc, bitter-sweet memories. it wasnt a school that i wanted to go. and the journey to and fro really killed me.
but there were sweet memories also la. like the 1st 3mths, like going to chalets with friends, 搞暧昧 with classmates (those were the days!!), cheonging for A levels etc etc....
and jjc... the place where i met my now husband! OMG! hahahahahahhah
yea... =)
unfortunately, din managed to keep contact with many of the schoolmates. only a handful still in contact nia. but still, better than none la huh.
yep. so, 3 cheers to my old school ok!!
and wishing good health to all the ex-teachers and all my jjc friends out there!!
