This blog was created in 2008 to celebrate the 50th birthyear of classmates from BPES, a public elementary school in Singapore. "Bukit Panjang" means Long Hill in Malay, and was a thriving village in the 60s to 70s located at the intersection of 3 main trunk roads, Upper Bukit Timah Road, Chua Chu Kang Road, and Woodlands Road that connects to Malaysia via the causeway. We started our primary schooling at age 7 and graduated at 12. Welcome and share your memories. Click on pics to enlarge.

The Silly things we do for Love
No I don't mean getting married, but allowing and not stopping your over friendly and over enthusiastic hair dresser HELEN from giving you a hair perm for the big day just to be different. And living the rest of your life wondering how did that happened?
Now I must apologize to everyone for being sloppy in keeping in touch with all of you during my secondary school days at Whitley, NJC, Army daze, and the years I was away studying in USA (79-82) and managed to get only a few of you to my wedding on January 26, 1985. There were no handphones or email or MSN then, and our diaspora from the Village. Just 6 digits tel #s.
Mr Chow still looks very chio then, about 37 years old, and definitely a 'To Sir With Love" heartthrob for Christchurch Secondary School girls, like he was for our BPES girls.
Can anyone recogise the rest? We are still trying to locate Gek Lee, seated 2nd from left. Next to Iris Sim, whom I was unsuccessful in wooing. She was then a Singapore Airlines cabin crew and had wings that fly away. Neo Eng Kiong is the one standing in the middle.
