Recognized the photo to be the "old" Victoria school (the building has additions, I noticed). I was in VS in the last century (1977-78)! I've been away for 34 years, but would return to lovely Singapore every so often. Thanks for sharing the photo of the school where I spent 2 wonderful years of preu. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984217362893991380.post-67646372212936259572011-10-28T09:51:14.562+11:002011-10-28T09:51:14.562+11:00Hi Zan,
