I also remember one excursion to Botanical Gardens. I remember the monkeys climbing all over our bus.<br /><br />We also had a teacher who brought a few of his favourite pupils out for excursions in his car - it was either a Hillman or a Ford Prefect. I was one of those pupils :)Lam Chun Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762020157703342970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108630126700411599.post-14688230951636930642011-12-29T01:07:23.743+08:002011-12-29T01:07:23.743+08:00I share your sentiments, Mr Lim.

The teacher let us play on the sand and seawater. There was once we went to the Johore Zoo by train. Today, if the teacher were to bring the pupils to Haw Par Villa, some of the pupils would feel traumatic after visiting the 'Eighteen (now Ten)Gates of Hell. The parents would complain to the principal about the teacher not feeling sensitive to the condtions of the pupils. The principal would caution the teacher about bringing their pupils to such a place. Today few school groups visit the Haw Par Villa.dashing hongenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16755084092366890319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108630126700411599.post-3799198401496802762011-12-29T00:20:54.195+08:002011-12-29T00:20:54.195+08:00We were studying in Bedok Boys'.Those days for...We were studying in Bedok Boys'.Those days for excursions the teachers would take the whole cohort to walk around the neighbourhood such as Jalan Tiga Ratus, Somapah Road, Mata Ikan, the beach at Bedok etc. The teacher would let us play on the sand and water.

We visted factories in Jurong, had lunch breaks at the Jurong Lake or the Botanic Gardens. Even a visit to the Museum was exciting as we shared tales of the haunted attic. We were poor, yet we enjoyed our childhood.limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06443241887721915102noreply@blogger.com
