1st day of school - Share your experiences
- Thread starter Balls2U
- Start date
I grew up in a relatively hostile area, Tanglin Halt where there were lots of gangfights and all sorts of shit happening so it was pretty hard not to get into trouble but my closest friends back in the days were the malay kids and we would dirty our uniforms playing football anytime we could.
My first day at Pr. 1 was also my first day on a school bus. Awakened at 6.00 a.m. and hauled downstairs at 6:30 to wait for the bus. A group of us neighbourhood kids played "tokkah" (one-leg hopping) whilst waiting.
Boarding the school bus was somewhere between independence day and incarceration day. Independent from parents out on the road with strangers, but would the destination be paradise or penitentiary?
It was quite fun after all, somewhere in between. First experience of flag raising ceremony. The first day class was all about introductions, icebreakers and learning the national anthem and pledge.
The pledge was taught in four languages, all must learn EL1 plus their L2s respectively. The first period usually started with a subject in English since all subjects were in English except the L2s. Sometimes when first periods happened to be scheduled L2s, the pledge had to be recited in L2s.
Those days, there were some classmates who didn't attend kindergartens and were clueless about the alphabet and basic Chinese characters. But they tolled along half understanding and half pretending. As long as they could sing the anthem and recite the pledge out loud, it didn't matter if they understood the writing. That'd come later with serious education.

You poor baby! How did you survive?
I had a tuition classmate from the same school and he was a funny guy. He gave me a plastic cockcroach and we scrapped off the yellow stripe down its back to make it more real; then we used it to scare the other kids in class.
_ a couple of cents to buy some food, wow, that must be some 80 years ago
Not that long lar, about 40. Besides, I didn't state the denomination of those cents, so it's not as little as you think.

Queen Duck ..... ana jueh sada ??:o
Chey!!! Alawys say you 'yien tau kia' and yet you failed to be a duck? Part-time duck? "mai pai seh leh".
I could understand English by the time I enrolled in primary one. I remembered the bitch of a teacher by the name of Mrs.Tay gave the first English lesson to the class by pointing her finger at me and saying, "This is a naughty boy." My fate was sealed.
I guess if she said that to u now, you can retort back saying "I'll show u how naughty I am!"

To that bitch? No fucking way! Four siblings trailed up after me and all of them hated her as well! Maybe the distrust of adults by youths have it's origins in those formative years.
