Reminisce....

It all started in
2003. The pink blouse and grey skirt for the girls and blue shirt and grey pants for the guys. The
unwritten rule of no brights coloured bras, black bras and patterened bras for the girls.
The stupid debate of whether the school uniform should change, because the guys' uniform is the same as Tampines ITE and the girls uniform is the same as dunno what factory. The noisy
Malay class, filled with students who are not at all interested in the subject, except for a few. And the merger.
In
2004, the
1st Students' Council. Filled with the "rule breakers". Multiple earrings. Short skirts. Ankle socks. Late coming. Coloured hair. Colourful shoes. Overdue homeworks. But still, the whole lot of us survived the year.
CCAs were held over in
Toh Tuck Campus. Every important event were held there. Unhappiness. Not satisfied. All negative feelings bundled into one. Segregation which is so obvious.
PU2 fun day. Can't really remember what happened though.
Project Work. Oral presentation. Endless days in the computer labs. Endless meetings during the weekends. All for a one day presentation which is even less than an hour. All because of 10%(?) of the total score for university admission.
2005, A Levels. Hand over office. Sad. Kinda. I dunno. MI-B 1st SC jersey. =)
PU3 retreat to Bintan. Cool. Walked from
Toh Tuck campus to
Bukit Batok St 11, the new campus site. More segregation. They sing, we stand up and leave. The OI tshirt. BBQ. Spa. Shopping. A lot of memories for a 3D2N trip.
Grad Night at
Pan Pacific Hotel. Nice food.
Dikir barat performance by the teachers. Tears were shed. Hugs. Pictures. Memories.
Remember when there's a heavy downpour, there'll be a flood on the highest of the classroom block, and we will fold lots of paper boats and let them sail through the corridor?
Remember how we will laugh at the teachers joke, only after they tell us it's meant to be a joke?
Remember how bad the food was that we had to resort to bringing packed food from home or calling for
MacDonald's,
KFC or
Pizza Hut deliveries?
Remember how teachers will entertain our silly questions when it's nearing to our exams? And it doesn't matter if the teacher never taught us but they will still know us.
Remember?Today marks the last day of
MI bartley campus,
Outram Institute. As well as the Toh Tuck Campus, Jurong Institute It was kind of sad actually. As much as I dread the school (it looks like a hospital), feel kinda sad that the school will be no more. I sure will feel awkward when I pass by
Bartley Road to get home in the future, the plot of land where there once stood a school which mould me to what I am today will be no more.
The school sure brings back alot of memories. The small population made it better. Everybody knows everybody. And we were very united in a way.
The school makes us feel like home. It feels like my second home personally.
I am going to miss the school. Seriously.
ps: I'll post the pictures once I upload them, ya?
