Thoughts: It is more than 40 years ago that I have spent 6 years of child hood here; still vividly remember the bas sekolah, the friends perhaps long forgotten, the class rooms from ground to 3rd floor until standard 6 and its canteen where a bowl of noodle was rm$0.20! 
A little emotional walking into the school compound and meeting the current headmistress who we talked for awhile and she allowed me to quietly take some photos in the school field. 
Sparingly, I did some color but mostly black & white shots of the school and the school childrens in a P.E. class. Does brought back lots of memories! 

看到这一目, 突然间有泪湿了目光的感觉 A scene I dearly missed for 40 years
马来西亚华校的坚持都是有血有泪的 Perseverance in Chinese Education
还记得,六年级就在三楼最右角的那间教室 Classrooms I never forget
离开前, 在这新建礼堂的窗口隐隐约约的看到旧校的面孔 A glimpse of the old building still standing tall next to the new building hall
离开校门前,转身看见这一幕,好想回到童年 How I wish to go back in time
说实在的,相机按快门键时,心里有很大的感触 A sense of belonging when I hit the shutter of the camera
心里的那一句话, 我来自‘南开’ I am too from Nan Kai
华校的子女, 要自强不息 Our children, be Strong
教师职业的美,用心方能体会 The beauty of teaching lies in the heart of giving
享受童年的友情吧 Enjoy your childhood friendship
校长说以后有机会来拍学生写照,一定要拍彩色版本的 The Head Master told me when opportunity arises, she will invite me to do some student activities but must be in Color
看了这位老师的用心,也是身为教师的我自愧不如 As a teacher myself, I am humbled to see his patience
回想四十多年前走过的走廊 It has been 40 years since I walked this passage way
回到母校 Returning to my Almar Mater
