A walk down memory lane

Two weeks ago, Edward and I decided to go for a drive around the Opera Estate area. He wanted to show me his old house and I wanted to see what my primary school looked like now. Driving up that hill toward the school brought back so many memories and standing in front of it, I realise now just how small we were and how big we taught it was. All in all, it took us about 10 steps to walk down the corridor and back. All I know was that it was as if someone had taken me, made me 7 years old again and put me back there. Nothing has changed and for those who were to CHIJ Opera Estate I hope this brings back countless memories.

Do you remember:
1. The coloured stones outside the office that we used to play while we waited for our bus? Big yellow, small green...

2. Do you remember our assembly ground that could fit a whole session?
3. Do you remember the steps leading to the field that we used to play "the alphabet game" on and jump to the alphabet announced?
4. the mother hen and chicks game we used to play - making nests out of the grass that had been mowed.
5. The toilets at the end of the corridor and the little library outside each class?
6. The canteen - Auntie Mary, Ethel, fish cake soup and the drinks that were always full of bees?
7. The steps leading to the assembly ground where we took our class photo?
8. The rabbit cage on the field?
9. The drain by the assembly ground where we had to brush our teeth?
10. The packet milk that we had to drink everyday?
11. Bus no 20 white and 20 green that took us to Bedok Interchange?
12. The music room on the 3rd floor that everyone said was haunted?

I still can't believe that I can remember all this. It only means that those were damn good days!
