Went back to St Nics today... after like 1 yr plus plus plus? I really cannot remember the last time I went back. Teacher's Day in J1? Anyway, the school is painted a disgusting pale yellow and rusty red combination with PURPLE doors!!! Everyone.. Say 'YUCKS!!!'. I wonder who is the one with such bad taste. Ok... Maybe it is not to my taste. But ya... And they kinda colour coded the school by level? Like scared that peopel will get lost with their 'half' levels??? They painted the secondary block GREEN!!! Scream people!!! Even the walls near the primary school music room. The green walls made it feel as though the area is closing in on me... I have no idea what is the fascination with the rusty red... Even the pillars in Sunken Forum are that colour. Makes everything blend with the track and the roofs of the houses along Ave 2!!! and they named the science labs 'A to H'. Oh.. and the pillars in the canteen ar epainted differenct colours.. and so is the ceiling of sunken forum. Like my friend said, it looks like a kindergarden. or maybe even a kindergarden not dun look that bad...
Yes.. enough whining about how bad/hideous/horrendous it looks. Cause I really miss the place... We took a walk to the new extension... then went down to New Music Room, walk thru the back where the peacocks are kept... pass the MEP rooms and back up to the canteen. Memories of the place - like Geog remedial in the Humanitiess Room, Experiments in the science labs, Choir in MPRSitting at the specs stand, last minute mugging for O lvl Chinese exams at the round thingee...
I still feel attached to the place. You can take a SN girl out of SN, but you will never take SN out of a SN girl... Sounds corny? I dunno.. but I think it is kinda true...
Ok.. enough reminiscing of SN.
I think NUS Library is freaking big... and it has so many books!!! Saw a few psycho books I would like to flip through... Somehow, I never sort of bothered to find out what sort of book SMU library carries. Hahaha... And I took a non-aircon 151 to NUS. Hahaha... I almost forgot those bus existed. Those with the rattling windows, noisy exhaust whereby you get wind (and a lot of carbon monoxide blown in ur face). I thought they were phased out eons ago. I mean I do see non-aircon 186 passing SMU bus stop... and maybe I did see a few 151s.. but somehow, it didn't really register in my long term memory... Hahaha... But it was a good experience because it wasn't raining today and it wasn't too hot and crowded...
