This happened during my Secondary School days.


Every year, our CCA (known as ECA then) group would held an Orientation Camp in school for the newbies (sec 1).

On the last night, we would play a game called \"ghost fire\". After midnight, each newbie was led to a different secluded corner of the school. They would have to stay by themselves in their individual assigned corner, in total darkness, less a lighted candle. They must protect the lighted candle as they were not given any matches, if the flame went out, they would really be in total darkness.

Unknown to them, for safety reason, each of them would be accompanied by a senior hidden away from their view.

some were nervous, started singing to boost confident. some dropped a few tears. some fell asleep :roll:

but all emerged from the game, no longer afraid of darkness. As they realized there is nothing to be afraid of in the dark, the only frightening things are what they imagined themselves.

My guess you came from an all boy's school.

Giving all sorts of excuse to avoid PE during pri sch, then sitting on the steps leading to the stage to read.


Sneaking out of sch compound to the nearby HDB flat to buy homemade curry puffs.

Throwing away unread notes from I dunno who left on my sch bag.

Standing up to one CL teacher who ordered the class to buy an assessment book meant for ‘N’ lvls.

Playing Zero-Point at recess time…


Everybody squatting in a row by the drain to brush teeth…

Catching grasshoppers in school field…

Choosing your own prizes from a table full of stationery and books for prize-giving day. Remember those very squarish box-like pencil cases with lots of different compartments for erasers, sharpeners etc? I loved those ~

I still have fond memories of the Red Swastika when it was situated in Changi. The sch field was our playgroud. The toilets behind was like a hauted house to me.The swing that moves by itself........... the delicious black noodle with sweet sauce, I just could not find the same taste again. The first time I stand in front of the whole school during a story-telling competition, with a shivering tone and wobbly legs......... ahh...time flies.....
