Like to play “go li” (Marble) behind the school (basket ball court) leading to the park. Both my elder sis & my younger brother studied there. We stay at Jalan Kukoh, rented apartment. We were poor but we were happy. Only until I was primary 6, we then move to West Coast, a 3 room flat. I spent my last year in Pearl’s Hill taking long bus ride from West Coast to OG (New Bridge Road) with my siblings before walking to school.

Had a crash on a couple female classmates during those days. Their name was Lee Mei Sum, Lily Loh, Ang Tai Peng. Was wondering how are my classmates. Loss all contact with them.

Still remember this Aunty who will guide us across the road every morning with a “children crossing” road sign. She wore a smart uniform with a hat.

And then there was also this dumb (incapable of speech) woman who will always brings her child to school. I heard rumor that she ate some fruits along the road side trees that cause her to lost her speech. How naive I was.

We had a “short” lift attendance too!. He always like to entice us with his King Kong gameboy!

Wish all my classmate healthy and successful in their life and career!

It’s a shame to see it close! I remember walking by with my little daughter when my parents were still living at Outram Park and pointing out to her my former school. I’m visiting S’pore this August and I think I must visit the site again and reintroduce it to my teenage daughter. My favourite teachers were Mrs Lim, Mr Yeo Tiong Gum. I’m still in contact with some of my friends from Pearl’s Hill School days and we enjoyed talking about ‘those were the days’

Can another remember our Principal, Mr Ng? Wonder how is he now?
