A Frightening Experience

Let me relate to you one of my frightening experiences. I would say it was very frightening, but it is an experience which I will remember for life. Well, it was quite a long time ago - more than ten years ago, in fact.

That very evening, I was at the void deck of my friend's block, near the lift landing. I could not remember why I was there. Probably to look for my friend. Anyway, I was at the void deck waiting when I heard a loud "thud" in the direction of the grass patch, just outside the block. Initially, I thought it was somebody's bolster or mattress which had fallen down because it sounded so loud. I did not know what made me walked towards the fallen object. I guess it was out of curiosity, but usually I was not so curious.

Anyway, I guess I should not have walked there. I saw the body of an old lady lying flat on the grass patch just outside the block! Luckily, I did not see her face. But I wondered how she looked like. Suddenly, I felt very cold and something sent shivers up my spine.

I went to a nearby public telephone to call a friend who lived in that block. That time, mobile phones were not so "cheap". My friend picked up the phone, but he did not believe me when I told him about what had happened. So, I told him to look out of his windows to see for himself. I asked him to make a call to the police, but he refused as he was afraid the police would trace the call to his place. In the end, we did not make the call but someone did as the police soon arrived to investigate.

Tanjong Katong

Yesterday, I went to this primary school in Katong. The school looks big but the road leading to the school is very narrow! Anyway, it was not easy to find a particular classroom as the school does not assign the level according to the "storey". For example, you would expect to find the lower levels (Primary One to Three) at the lower storeys, but the classrooms are located all over the places. Sometimes, you can find P5 and P3 classrooms in a stretch, while some P5 and P3 classrooms can be found in another block. It will be hard for someone like me who has never been there before to locate a particular classroom. I guess it will take some time for a new pupil to get used to that school's classroom arrangement. :)


One thing that impressed me was that the school has vending machines which are not commonly found in a primary school. Look at their play area. It looked so big! One other thing is that the school has pupils of different nationalities. Meaning, there are quite a number of pupils from other countries studying there.

A Riddle - Kelly's World!

You're in a place called "Kelly's World"
and there is only one law.
There is a mirror, but no reflection.
There is pizza with cheese, but not sausage.
There is pepper, but no salt.

There is a door, yet no entrance or exit.

So what is the law in Kelly's World?

Racial Harmony Day

It is the yearly Racial Harmony Day this Friday. In fact, the actual date should be 21st July, but as it is a Saturday, it will be celebrated on Friday. I guess your "old" traditional costumes are too small or short to be worn. You have better checked and tried on it first before wearing it on Friday.

A Riddle for YOU!

Third Week of Term Three

Hi, this is the third Monday of the third week of the third term. Sound confusing? Never mind. ;) I understand the P4 (2007) went to the Sarimbun Camp last week. I believe all of you have seen the situation you had last year after you came back from the camp. You must have seen the "litters" of clothes and other personal belongings at the fitness corner. Haha! I guess every year we will have this problem unless someone comes up with a good solution.

Tomorrow is the P6 Prelim Oral. I wish all the P6 pupils all the best in their coming examinations. Good luck!

It's July Now!

Hi, everyone! It's July now. It has been a long time since I last posted here. The vacation or holiday ended quite fast for some of you. Some of you were looking forward to see your friends in the new school term. Well, I met some of them too! Last week, I met Han Yi and Cassandra in the coffeeshop next to the school. Then I saw Jasmine and her brother, Elton. It is a small world. Everyone seems to be taking tuition classes from the same centre.

By the way, I am going back to my camp from tomorrow till the following Friday. My camp is in Sembawang and the name is Chong Pang Camp. It is quite a big camp. I only go there once a year. Sometimes twice.

I hope everyone is learning well in school or tuition centre. Beside that, do continue to keep in touch with your "old" classmates and me. You can always drop me an e-mail if you need my help to solve your problems. I will do my best to help you. :D
