I  hope you will share with us your O-level days.  And, to start with, I like to share with you mine.<\/p>\n

Secondary school days were indeed memorable days.  I remembered having to go through subjects which I had never liked.  They included history, gergraphy and literature. To me, these subjects were too academic, and I did not think there was any value in studying them.  In fact, I loved science and mathematics.  I was brought up to think that being a science and maths genius would land me a good job when I leave school. Well, I worked and studied hard, and landed with 5 distinctions for my O-levels.  I felt I achieved well, at that time.<\/p>\n

During my secondary days, I was not conscious of having a girl friend.  I had many friends, but being in a boy’s school "Montfort School" in Hougang, all my friends were boys.  We had a great time, and if I remembered clearly, I went cycling up and down Punggol road, catch small crabs with a tiny coconut hair, swim in the murky mangrove swams and enjoy teasing girls in the nearby convent school.<\/p>\n

They were all memorable days.  I remembered songs like "To Sir with Love", "Mrs Robinson" and the entire Abba series.  I looked forward to Fun Fairs, fund-raising Saturdays and playing "Hum Tum Bola".<\/p>\n

I think some of us went to Poly and other went to Technical schools.  But, those days cannot be forgotten.  Do share with us your memories of your secondary school days, leading to O-levels or a Poly of Technical diploma?<\/p>\n

I also hope you will also share with us one or two songs which you remembered very clearly during these days.<\/p>\n
