this is where the students are spoilt for choice - some have already started A-levels, while others wait for 6th form & matriculation places, & a small minority hope & pray a windfall called a scholarship.
i remember clearly the day i went to school with my friends to collect our results. nope, no top-scorers amongst & certainly none of that calling-parents-on-the-handphone rigmarole but hooray, we all passed! we had lepak-ed for over 3 months since the exam & we still had another 2 months before school re-started. yes, for us, life was simple - pass SPM (called MCE then), lepak some more & then join 6th form.
we ate ice-cream as we took a leisurely stroll through the istana gardens to town to catch a bus home...
on the way, we reminisced those care-free lower secondary days while ruminating over a concept still alien to us then - the co-ed classes of 6th form. hmm....girls!
& we laughed wickedly in anticipation.

Was Mrs Doc in your 6th form class? :P
Jems,
no, i met her only when i was a houseman in Penang.
Hi Doc, nothing like the good old days, when there were no computers, and girls would smile or giggle with a hand over their mouth, and had good hand me down virtues from their moms.
And fathers telling their dates, "don't come home late"! Ha ha.
Have a pleasant week, Doc, best regards, Lee.
Hi Uncle Lee,
thanks for your comments.
i think when we see how things have become complicated or changed for the worse, we remember the good old days when life was seemingly simpler & better.
Nice pics. But only makes me wonder, which one is you? ha ha. Or are u the shooter?
Jonzz,
those were taken on 22 Mar, 1976. managed to retrieved them amongst the many that captured the fond memories of days gone by.
can't you spot the 17-yr-old me in the 2 photos?
A few of my colleagues met their spouses during 6th form.
Was Mrs Doc a nurse when you met her?
Just me,
Mrs Doc was still a student nurse when i met her.
