PFS '63 GTG 50 (Penang)
14th December 2013
Another trip down nostalgia yet again but this time around a potpourri of different crowd which include teachers as well. The trip down memory was sweeter with the venue being none other than where it all started - the grounds of alma mater, more specifically the school canteen where many hours were spent yakking and interacting through the much anticipated times of school recess. The tuck shop, as it was known by the older generation teacher who were educated by educators from the British Empire, was also a hub for activities of the extra curricular type, i.e. uniformed and non-uniformed societies. In addition to supplying calories to the growing bodies, the canteen was also a place to prepare themselves for human interaction and survival skills in life later.
If those days, there was an invisible fence that prevented free interaction between immature teenagers and the patriarchal (matriarchal) figures of teachers, now there are none. After all the teachers are all way past retirement age and their pupils were nearing so!
It must have been such an honour for teachers to receive such a recognition for their unsung deeds over the years. And for their students, the opportune time to express their gratitude in person rather than talking about them in their memoirs or autobiographies!
