Hong Kah to occupy previous Commonwealth site
Wednesday, April 19, 2006
as every Commonwealthian worth his/her salt know, we will be shifting to a spanking new building that used to be River Valley's along West Coast Road.
I gurantee you that place is real peaceful. it is so peaceful that I think it will be too peaceful. we are essentially at the centre of the Teban Gardens and Pandan Gardens estate. guess you all dont even know what the heck are these two "Gardens".
well how do I know? the christian kindergarten and church my father has been a school bus driver at is right opposite the school building. it is called Calvary Pandan Kindergarten/Presbyterian Church in case you are interested.
I come from Galilee Kindergarten right opposite it though. my father is there till 2001 before he switched over to Calvary Pandan. though I am not a christian.
okay enough about my past. the focus of the post is of course, HONG KAH WILL TAKE THE COMMONWEALTH SITE AFTER WE LEAVE DURING JAN 2008.

see for yourselves. after knowing this, I somewhat feel happy yet sad. happy because the building will not lie dormant, sad because Hong Kah have to inherit the badly damaged facilities for another 2 years.
still, the old CSS site is still bigger than the current Hong Kah site, and a new coat of paint will give it a fresh look from the outside.
and I think the condition of the facilities of the building will worsen when Hong Kah takes over. the schools packs a tough punch. take a look at the track record of the school and you will understand.
