PPEPS

Facebook has been known as quite a powerful social network for connecting old friends and colleagues. How TRUE is this? It's very TRUE!

Our school compound, PPEPS
So far, with the amazing efforts of our two primary friends (Karen), 20 friends have been located. There must be about at 4 or 5 informal meetings among some of the friends since February 2008.

I have not seen some of the friends for more than almost 23 years since we left PPEPS for secondary school education! It was almost fearful to mention the number 23... has it really been 23 years? Time flies, don't they?

There might be some intriguing questions that must have came across our minds, if not mine. How does each of us live our lives for the past 23 years? What have we achieved so far in terms of career, social life, personal achievements etc? Will we be able to connect after so long? The puzzle will be pieced together in time when we meet more often to bridge the 23 years of lost friendship.

All grown up
During the first meetings, we have discussed fondly of our beloved Pasir Panjang English Primary School (PPEPS). I was surprised when my friends told me that Goh Chok Tong was once a student in PPEPS too! Wow!

We have discussed about the triangular-shaped packets of milk with chocolate and strawberry flavors, brushing of teeth with a cup & toothbrush near the drain, Mrs Vals our formidable Form teacher, the big raintree near the entrance with protruding roots, pigeons-dropping in classroom, AVA Room, the vigorous PE lessons etc. So many wonderful memories just made us being a child again. Everyone has something special to chip in ...

Keep the spirits going PPEPS buddies !
