SGI Canteen Day

Hi guys....

Here is something to share. Last week i attended our school's "Canteen Day" on the 16 July 2011. The last "Canteen Day" i remember going to was in 2002 when some of our batch mates were still in lower 6 science and we put up the chicken chop stall which made quite a hefty collection. 9 years since the last "Canteen Day", i stepped back to our beloved Alma Mater again. What a joyous feeling it was.

Our school has changed a bit as i dont remember having tiles in the school hall and the canteen. The newly renovated basketball court looked awesome too. I had a chance to visit the Form 1 and Form 3 classrooms in the new block. Looks like student number per class has come down to 24-26. Gone the days when we had 40 of us crammed up in one class which was way more fun then having less student like nowadays.

I walked around the school a lot, remembering all the wonderful memories i had here. Students are still as enthusiastic as before. Met some of our teachers, Pn.Nazian (Chemistry), Pn.Rima(Moral), Pn.Kunavathi(Moral), Mr.Rama(PJ) and Mr.Sri Rengan(History). It was wonderful to meet up with them. And i felt so touched when they still remember me after all this years. Our old teachers are still so dedicated towards the school. They were there cleaning up the school after the canteen day had ended. So sad that most of our other teachers have already retired. Wish i could have met more of them.

Going back to school after soo long probably was one of the happiest moment in my life in these recent years. How i miss it all so much. In 4 more years our school will be celebrating its 100 years. Hope our batch can do something, just a suggestion. This whole week i just couldn't shut up about our school. So, while browsing the net, i found a few videos about our school. Not sure whether you guys have watched it yet. Here is the links:
