I went to Diver’s Den this morning to go pick up my camera bag. Coincidentally, it is located next to what was my kindergarten I went to 36 years ago. Every evening I would look forward to cartoons like Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and Birdman. My favourite TV series were Giant Robot and the original Ultraman.
Back in 1972, the work to turn the Federal Highway into a proper highway as what it is now began. Prior to that, crossing from the University Hospital to the Saint Francis Xavier church and the old EPF building was done using a traffic light junction. I remember my neighbour, Fazrin Azuar (now the son-in-law of Rafidah Aziz who got famous for a while because of the pink form issue), and I, used to fight for the attention of this cute chinese girl called Sharon who lived in the Paramount Gardens area. The highlight of my time there was when we had to stand by the Federal Highway to wave the Malaysian flag, welcoming Queen Elizabeth II on her maiden visit to Malaysia.
Sad to see it being abandoned like this…
The complex
The assembly area. Of course the walls were not there then.
The classroom. Oh, well. This used to be two classes separated by a partition.
This was where we had our food during recess. They had tables and chairs out here.
Where we stood to wave the Malaysian flag at QE II
