CHMS- the new building
Sunday, January 6, 2008,1:54 PM
Yesterday I went to this Christmas and New Year celebration at CHMS’s Darussalam Hall. At first it was rather boring, then this band went onstage and started playing music that rendered us unable to hear anything around us.
Being ‘kiasu’ my parents had came straight on the dot at seven, but closer examination of the program revealed that the actual eating started at 8.10! After awhile some people from YF came, so the company around our table didn’t turn out so bad. However, wasn’t able to go over and talk as the chairs were quite cramped around the table, so I was unable to pass over the other side and talk. Ended up counting down the moments till we got to dig into the food.
The food was yummy but it was really quite difficult to eat with just a spoon. Later, went with Cindy, Ying Lin, Stephie and Bing Cheng to the new block.
The new block is really quite big, about four floors with many classrooms and labs. During my time in chms there weren’t many opportunities in CHMS to conduct experiments. Now the new science labs in CHMS, appear well equipped, one desk per student each with a Bunsen on the table, ready. There are even primary science labs. To think that when I moved over to JIS some people were quite surprised that I barely knew how to use a Bunsen!
Besides that they have a larger airy-looking library, reading rooms and even a balcony that Cindy has dubbed ‘the ultimate place for couples.’ There were many girls’ toilets around, (already dirty) and several rooms such as a Geography room, Commerce and Maths room and English room. Wonder what exactly they are going to do in all these rooms… are they going to take the place of classrooms?
