TRACKING BACK.......OLD SCHOOLS....

This is special tribute to my LOVE one...
Ur B'day is 13th November... another year added..
Times keep on going....  n   so ...d'ages rolling on ....
As we passed by.... NOT to forget to look back where WE 're before....  nnn   so...
I just want to show d' schools I know ...U began d' formal Education....primary....upper primary....transition...to English...preparatory. school.... lower secondary...upper secondary... tertiary... n later...post....education...... post graduate ...of coz...

Sorry If I'm wrong..   BUT...only a glimpse...passing by...according what being heard...n stories..
I just to rewind back...like a recorder to be heard  n .....corrected... hopefully....


A typical design of old school was the steps.....
a triangle looked where both sides could be used.
No longer old coz... additional buildings n renovation took place. 

Used to be SEKOLAH MELAYU BENDAHARA SAKAM, BUNUT...    a Malay school.....a mono language for Bruneian Malay children began schooling at d'age six years......
in d' early four  n  six  years...education...
Home was just around d' corner... an electrical government house.....now...non existance... as a mosque is taking place of d' area... ..a stone throws... as U called it..... U could hear d' bell...!!!
Many sweet memories here...as freely walked in to friends' houses ....from one to another...!!!

At teenages...did back to this school for d' Ugama ..Religious Classes.....no funny things coz...upper primary classes.... a transition for English school was in d' afternoon..         


Old school looked like...left sid e bottom'  called
Sekolah Melayu Anggerek Desa...
The last FIVE years most primary government schools were renovated into MODERN IT concept..with school's playing artificial fields..... no longer original green grass....
but PLASTIC rubber green took place...

Had been transfered here for a while...coz UNCLE was staying here...




SEKOLAH MELAYU SENGKURONG    morning session....
class called Darjah 1 - 6.....nn
SPI...SEKOLAH PERSEDIAN INGGERIS or
PREPATORY SCHOOL.... classes for PREP I, II n...III ... at noon.


At Darjah 4... selection with examination with age limitation... were given before allowed to enter Prepatory Schools...
Only certain schools were conducting SPI afternoon session...n so.....one in Sekolah Melayu Sengkurong...

The years might be 1969...70..n 71....
A particular story I heard here..... all pupils from SM Bendahara Sakam Bunut.. were given a bus to transport them to school which was about 5 miles...???...
In a bus .... mixed gender....boys were naughty...anywhere......
Once..   a serious tragic accident happened...... could be fun at first... 
on d' way home.. ONE of d' pupils intentionally threw stone to d' road side workers....

Then...next day...teacher questions pupils......n...heard d' news about a man seriously injured...n..lately passed away.... ????         ...Was it true...????
