I am feeling extremely nostalgic now, becoz i stumbled onto photos posted by the RVHS alumni on facebook group.

and they're wonderful. just looking at them trigger off alot of memories within me dated as far back as 10years.

yes tat's how old we all are. it's been exactly a decade since we stepped into RV.

i think i've gushed many a times about how wonderful my sec sch is, and how wonderful my sec sch life is, and how wonderful the ppl in my sec sch is.

sure, ppl outside would nvr understand, becoz there are certain deepset stereotypes surrounding RV. but so what? some of these stereotypes are true, some are false, and some only apply to the small minority in the school. i'm the one who attended this wonderful sch, and of coz only me (and the other RVians) would noe how great it is =)))

there is something abt the sch and the sch spirit and the ppl, that seemed to follow u thru ur life. i dun exactly noe how to pinpoint it, but there's juz this warm cosy feeling everytime i think abt those 4yrs.

a few years ago, RVHS moved from the original site (where i had built my second home for those 4years) to SAJC campus becoz they're building a whole new bigger building for RVHS. i didnt manage to go back to the sch to take a last look before the humongous yellow giants came to tear them down. so finding these photos on facebook was like finding treasure. =)




the porch. where we lingered and hang around during breaks.
the parade square. where we had our everyday morning assembly and where i had some of the guides parades.
the old block, i.e. the lower secondary block. where we ran down the corridors daily, standing there looking towards the RV reservoir.




and more...



our lab. *shudders* haha... it was fun and torture all mixed up in a sadistic way.
the staffroom! i vividly remembered that sign! "no pupils allowed beyond this point". and still we always juz went in.
the canteen. the drinks stall which sold those wonderfully tasty guo tie at 1 for 20c i think. and the guides always gobble those down as lunch during CCA days.




RV reservoir is this superbly nice place where we always had our 2.4km NAPFA test run there. while other students had to run around boring red tracks for 6 rounds, looking at the same thing again and again as they run, we gotta run around the reservoir with ever changing sceneries. we got to gush at those turtles swimming around in the reservoirs, and giggle at the writings on the rocks in liquid paper by RV students.

speaking of those writings, i so remember how there was once Mr. Tham was so damn pissed off with us coz apparently PUB sent the school a letter (a warning letter) about how RV students are always using liquid paper to write on those rocks. haha...

memories. to stay with me for life. how many ppl can say that of their own sec sch?
