Tekong too, at Kg. We have relatives at other kampongs, eg. We used to alight at the 2nd ferry terminal, and then take a 10 min walk inland, pass by a Chinese cemetry on the way, and then a provision shop � with a well for bathing etc in front.

Those were really good memories!! The camping was simplistic, no need permits, no need big nice tent like we used to have these days. We can even do some hiking looking for checkpoints marked across the island. Great fun we have then!! Happy Memory of the good old days. The two groups played volley ball and other games and had a combined band performance for the villagers. Cheers, Jacob Idiculas. I used to live in Kg Quarry Hindhede Rd. Remember walking to relatives and friends in the vicinity via the railway track � taking short cuts here and there.

Life in our village was harmonious, open and happy. We know everyone of all races by name. Try that now!! Highlights of my childhood include playing in the sawmill nearby, foraging for fruits and tapioca, catching the huge yellow grasshoppers, buying tidbits from the mamak store. Those were the days!! Thank you for all the pictures! Appreciate your effort in keeping it alive!

Great if someone could post pictures of Pasir Panjang Kampong eg. Old Brick works, Hyderabad Road. These is where my parents and grandparents lived until the british left our country in By the end of the 70s, everyone had to be relocated. This was my turf too. Some of my friends went on to Pasir Panjang Secondary School. His family home blue mansion was opposite Haw Par Villa in those days.

The village started when the pastor of St. The land was distributed to 10 Church member-families, including one for the Church itself. However, the whole Jurong area was redeveloped. The original village and its inhabitants were relocated but the name was retained � at least phonologically.

That place more or less was known as Kampong Mayang area. Google used to show that up in their maps a few years back.

Sad that the new pte housing developments never use old names for their projects. Just imagine � Mayangville � Mayang View.. In the 50s and 60s I was raised by my late grandmother who lived in a kampong which was located about 3 km from Lor Buangkok known as Trafalgar Estate, later, the road in front of our house was given a name: Lorong Renjong.

The nearest road from the kampong, about three kms away, was Yio Chu Kang Road. In the kampong was closed and all the residents were moved to the HDB flats in Hougang. During the monsoon seasons Lor Buangkok flooded badly and at times the water rose to as high as as 6ft. It was quite a scene seeing people moving around through the floods in those days.

Only the people from the older generation know it, the people from the younger generation may not know it at all. I lived in Toa Payoh from to During that period the kampong near Braddel road, Lorong Chuan are still intact. When the Government acquired the land the villages were abandoned and we used to hunt for fruits from trees left by the owners. The river along Braddel has lot of fish and during one of the flood season fish from the nearby Potong Pasir ponds overflowed to the rivers.

Weekend is always our favourite days as we spend our time wandering around the abandon village. Life is care free and we had lots of fun. Your photos brings back all the memory which I believe my children will never experience. In the olden days not too long ago there was a kampong village by the name of Kampong Tempeh in Singapore.

Kampong Tempeh received its name and was made famous in Singapore during those days for the tempeh that was produced in the village. Tempeh is a type of fermented food made out from soy bean which originates from Indonesia and it is a favorite item among the Javanese people. Most of the pioneering villagers living in Kampong Tempeh came from Indonesia and there were many families involved in the tempeh making business.

The tempeh produced were home made, its recipe being passed down from the older generation and their productions combined were enough to make it as a famous tempeh making district. My salute and thanks for the person who had compiled these. Nice that you researched into the old Kampongs. She states there used to be a cemetery around that side too.

My grandma was one of the few handful of Malays living at that area. I think that it is the Kampong listed on my birth certificate as being at 24, Jalan Basong I attended Sambawang Primary School for a time while there. I have many wonderful memories of our Kampong life and also my school mates. I moved to HPD when I was still a small child and I would like to find out anything I can about my Kampong and if any photos of it exist.

Does anyone have any such info or photos? Your address at Jalan Basong is located off Sembawang Rd. There was a kampong in that vicinity called Kampong Wak Hassan. Today, there are landed properties, small cafes and restaurants located here especially along Andrews Ave. I believe this estate is now known as the Sembawang Straits Estate.

It was located at the end of Sembawang Rd and the buses plying this area would make a U-turn after the school to return to their depot interchange. The school catered mainly to the children in the Sembawang neighbourhood, including those from Kampong Wak Hassan. It was a very pleasant and pretty school. Students could see the Straits of Johor from their classroom windows and were often distracted by the large ships sailing by.

On stormy days, you could hear the waves! This school was one of three the other two being Canberra Primary and West Hill Primary that catered to the children of families living in Sembawang, Admiralty and Chong Pang. Many of their families earned their modest incomes working at the Naval Base near Admiralty and at Sembawang Shipyard. The end of Sembawang Rd was redeveloped � it houses a car-park, seafood restaurant, barbecue areas and a jetty; campers and anglers often hang out there with their fishing equipment.

It is still a pretty place. You may visit these places now called Chong Pang and Yee soon. Sad to see sembawang with all bricks. Surprisingly the Kedondong entrence still present to a car park. That was where my house was. I grew up on Pulau Brani in , in British army houses. There is no mention on your site of the British presence on the island, just the fact that a naval base was built there in There was military housing, messes and workshops there British dating from long before WW2.

When we first got there, the building were empty and dilapidated. Not long after that they demolished everything to the ground. I used to ride a motorbike and go all over the island, imagining how it would have been years ago. I am a British Army kid myself and have a good sense of what it could have been. I love army camps and it brings back memories of childhood. Moved to Slim Barracks and then to Nee Soon.

I used to go to Somapah Road with my father to buy lime, insecticides and vegetable seeds. It was so named as some of the villagers from the old kampong were resettled in Bt Timah 6. Any ex residents around? I was born in and grown up in Potong Pasir. I still remember very clearly how I spent about two nights sleeping in the attic of our zinc house during the flood in I could also hear the sound of dripping water in the middle of the night.

My family was helped by the green boats sent by the army to leave the village. The tortises belonged to my grandfather who had passed away just a few months before were washed away by the flood. But I was too innocent to understand the loss to my family.

Subsequently, we moved to leave in a flat in I missed Potong Pasir and I am one of those who last sent how the episode of one of the great kampongs ended. But I also feel very honoured to have experience what kampong spirit was and I am practicing it every day of my life to keep it going.

It is not difficult. I went to Duchess Road Primary School, a good thirty minute walk from home. It was a good walk on most days though, on the tarred road and then cutting through the next kampong name forgotten amidst ducks and chicken and the occasional cows. There were huge local longan trees, jambus, papayas, rubber, rambutans and the lovely coconut. Your post and great work has brought much joy and nostalgia to me as I am not living in Singapore now.

There is another post on Kampong Tempeh and I recognise the house but I cannot recall the occupants. Thank you again. Any way to clarify? The picture was taken after everyone has left. It would look much more beautiful if its taken earlier. Thanks for the upload! I spent a couple of years in a village at the base of Bukit Timah Nature Reserves.

Kg Quarry at Hindhede Drive. I can still remember the spot where my house once stood now a grassy patch. The old chempaka tree is still there �. My days were spent roaming around and playing � such carefree days. The NHB said today Nov 6 that Mr Quek Tiong Swee has been documenting Singapore over the past three decades, spending his free time documenting places slated for redevelopment. Kampongs at Pulau Tekong s.

Kampongs at Lorong Fatimah s. Yep I remember Selabin and Pahang. Used to hike and camp. There were tobacco plantations there then. Such a cool place. I think you should seriously consider putting all your blog articles together and publish them in a book. You should preserve our memory for our posterity.

Hi Kean, I have thought of publishing my blog articles into a book. My priority is to publish the articles in mychewjoochiat blog. I need help to arrange them into chapters and edit before publishing. Know anyone who could help? Tuas Village in the s was also known as Kampong 18th Milestone. Photo credit: MyPaper. I love all these pictures. I remembered visiting my relative at Kampong Lorong Fatimah but I can hardly recall what I did there.

This sure brings back a lot of memories. And can I also say that I actually got teary eyed whilst looking through these pictures of old Singapore. A wonderful and nostalgic documentation of the old Singapore. I really enjoy reading this article and also seeing the absolutely sharp and clear pictures presented.

Words just cannot describe how I feel right now. But when I was about two months old, my parents brought me over to Singapore in the early s. This was the scenario simply because my father was working in Singapore. We first lived in Raden Mas. Then we moved to a rented house in Redhill Close. Unfortunately as I was still a tiny toddler, I just could not visualize any images of the days when I was living in Raden Mas.

I still keep two photos of myself and my father though but they were taken in our house. Till then, take care peeps!!! I am so delighted to see some old pic of pulau tekong!! I am born there and spend my childhood there till p6 �.

Hello Angela�nice to hear from x-Tekong citizens. My family was frm Kg Selabin n Pahang. I have a few of their FBs acct, mayb some of them are ur x-school mates. Do u have any email addr? I just love reading, and re-reading, these stories about Singapore.

My happiest childhood days were spent in Singapore beween and in army quarters, first in Orchard Crescent and then on Wessex Estate. We regularly attended the officers mess for meals and events.

I went to Pasir Panjang school which became Wessex School in and then I went to Bourne school and remember having to climb up hundreds of steps when we got off the school bus.

I was in class at Pasir Panjang school on the I have a school book full of pictures of Singapore and some photos which I will try to transfer onto this modern contraption called a laptop � which did not exist back then! I am also in touch with one of my teachers from Pasir Panjang � yes really! We meet regularly. Back then our uniform was green with white edging.

I remember so much; Queens Way and those 25storey flats, the kampongs, the wild animals � boars, snakes and so on. Thank for taking me back in time to those happy, care-free, days. Christine nee Harral Pratt. Anyone who knows me please write to me! I am now living America. I have been here over 40 years. I am in Pennsylvania.

Yeah, I know you and went home with you one Christmas Day to your big kampong house for the most sumptuous Portuguese feast of my life! Thanks for the memories� and the makan besar. Thank you for this incredibly valuable documentation of our history.

Your record will provide proof for the younger generation of where we came from and how far we have come today. It is really sad to have lost so much of the kampong days, but luckily we have old pictures and the internet to share them. I now live in Guildford, UK, so if anyone knows me, do write to me. Hi, this is really fascinating and amazing to discover.

New in Singapore � I can only imagine what it must have been like� It reads like most sites are not there anymore, but for Kampong Lorong Buangkok, it reads like there is some of it left amidst the new buildings? Or do I misread this and is it completely gone?

Thanks for the info. Buangkok is still around. Just went there last month. The beautiful surrounding area is now more or less gone. Visit it before its gone. Sad sad sad �.. Goto wwwyeohongeng. Great memories all gone. We hv well to bath and WC was bucket system den.

Ducks,chickens,cats,birds n fruit trees surround my hse. It was awesome den. Now living in Sengkang. Singapore is growing too fast. I came from Malaysia Kampong. Now still a Kampong. Life in the sixties was vastly different from what it is today. Back then, a packet of fried meehoon cost only 10 sen. I was the third of five children. We lived in abject poverty. Our daily budget for food was RM1.

Black and white television was introduced in Malaysia in Prior to that, the folks in my village got to see some free Western movies occasionally. A sponsor would rent a big reel of film and projector, and set up a mobile screen in the school field. People would flock to the field in the evening to watch the shows. One of our better-off neighbours installed a television in their house.

We merely peeped through the windows on our raised feet as we were short. We pressed both hands on the window sill for support. After a while, we got tired, and went home. Occasionally, a local medicine peddler would set up a mobile movie screen at a vacant field in the village to promote his medicine.

He would hit his cymbals to draw the villagers out of their homes in the evening. Attracted by the free movie, people flocked to the venue, complete with stools and big palm leaf fans to shoo away the mosquitoes. He came to the village every two months to dye clothes.

He made a clog, clog sound with a small drum with two wooden knobs attached to two strings on the drum. People who wanted to dye their clothes black, came forward. In those days, people dyed their clothes black when the clothes were worn out and the colour of the fabric had faded.

A man from the veterinary department could be seen riding his motorcycle into the squatter area, once a month, to neuter the cockerels. Back then, many people reared hens, cockerels, and some ducks in their house compound. It was fascinating to watch the man work. He held the birds by their wings and pressed his feet on them. Then he opened his bag, took out a pair of sharp metal hooks, slit open the side of the cockerel and used a nylon string, stretched between two fingers, to pull out the testicles with a swivelling movement.

He knew the exact spot to make the incision. Each cockerel had two testicles which resembled an oval shaped fish roe. After the procedure, he pulled a tuft of feathers to cover the incision. He charged a fee for every cockerel he neutered. Sometimes, a short, rotund man made his rounds, with a male swine on a leash. There were villagers who had a small pigsty in their compound.

If they did not own any male pigs, they wouId commission the rotund man to get his boar to mate with their sow for breeding purposes. Then there was the mattress repair man who would spread old and torn mattresses on a long, wooden bench and restitch them under the hot sun, for a small fee.

There were many houses which doubled up as mini cottage industries. There was this family who made wooden stools, while another family used timber to make wooden clogs. The husband and wife sat at opposite ends of a long saw and alternately pushed and pulled strenuously to saw the timber into wooden blocks to make clogs.

Another family made wooden barrels for multi-purposes. They could be used as containers for holding water and rice as plastic ware was not introduced yet. Some households made biscuits for sale and some made soya sauce. Not too far away, there was this man who made cooking pots, pans, trays and other utensils, with aluminium sheets. Opposite his house was a man who prepared traditional Chinese medicine paste.

He dried mounds of sticky, black paste on a piece of white paper, in front of his house. The breeze often carried the strong, pungent smell of the paste right across the neighbourhood. He was a tall, big man who carried different types of bread in a round basket placed at the back of his bicycle.

Every year, the breadman would return to India to visit his family, and an apprentice would relieve him during his absence. Womenfolk above 50 tied their hair into a bun and wore dim coloured blouses with three-quarter length sleeves and black, loose pants. The richer ones would have one or two of their front teeth encased in gold for people to admire.

There was empty land around my house which was overgrown with wild vegetables. Many Indian women used to pluck them in the afternoon. They put them in a pouch, formed by rolling the front end of their saris. Most of these women chewed betel leaves as they went about their chores.

An ice-cream man used to make his rounds twice a week on a bicycle. He rang a bell and children would run out of their homes and crowd around his bicycle. He had a square metal box attached to the back of his bicycle. A rotating wooden wheel with the numbers zero to five marked on it was hung at the back of the box for the children to spin.

Each spin cost 5 sen. The numbers were separated by nails which were carefully hammered in such a way that when the wheel was spun, the needle would point to zero or one when the wheel came to a rest. However, that did not deter the little ones from trying their luck. As jobs were scarce during those days, people used their ingenuity to create jobs for themselves to support their families. On certain nights of the week, I would be awakened by a foul, pungent smell which assaulted my nostrils.

It was usually past midnight. I could hear the heavy footsteps of the night soil carrier as he passed by the side of the house.

He wore a torchlight on his forehead and was often heard mumbling about the heavy load that night. He had a wooden pole straddled on his shoulders with a bucket on each end.

The night soil truck could be heard a distance away, with its engine running, as the driver waited for the carrier. I spent my childhood years in the wooden, attap house which had no electricity or water supply.

On some rainy nights, I could hear the distant cries of cicadas and the croaking of toads. Our family of eight used to have dinner around a black formica table made by my father. We used an aluminium canister with a long cylinder that burned on calcium carbide and water for illumination.

Later on, we progressed to a kerosene lamp, which was the source of light for all of us in the wooden house. My elder brother often played catapult with our neighbours. The catapults were made by cutting a Y-shaped twig from a tree. Sometimes, they played tops and marbles. The older boys would make kites and flew them in the evening. The strings of the kites were glazed with fine glass crystals. Once the string broke, the kite would drift in the sky and the owner and his supporters would be running around the houses, trying to retrieve the kite.

There were a few children around my age in the neighbourhood. We played hide-and-seek, hop scotch, five stones, and walked on wooden stilts. We tied many rubber bands into loops to form a skipping rope, drew diagrams in the sand and used tiny stones to play hop scotch.

We often played until we were exhausted and sweaty. On one occasion, we were playing hide-and-seek and the players ran around the wooden houses to try and find a choice spot to hide. In my haste, I stepped on a heap of smothering charcoal. An old lady had thrown the charcoal outside her house after she had removed it from her coal iron. Children of those days hardly had any toys to play with, so we devised our own games.

The girls made paper dolls, designed clothes for their dolls, and played masak masak cooking. Sometimes, we found some mud and made pots and pans to play with. In the early sixties, plastic was unheard of. Schoolchildren used an empty soft drink bottle, made of glass, as a water tumbler. I suffered cuts when a glass bottle broke and splinters cut two long incisions in my right palm.

There were no fashionable PVC school bags in those days. School bags were made of rattan or canvas. People used yam and banana leaves to wrap raw meat, newspapers for other foodstuff, and hemp strings to tie up things. Those nostalgic and colourful days are long gone and it is difficult for young people of today to visualise the simple life and hardship of yesteryear. Contact: yeohongeng yahoo.

I lived in Singapore from and will never forget the amazing people of Singapore. I have written a thriller � One Degree North � that is set in those days as a homage to the place and the times. It is on Amazon. Thank you for this wonderful work. What a really wonderful site this is.

It was a really exciting time and so much was going on. After the tour of the place we had a splendid meal which I believe was Malay though there was probably other choices. I have never seen this referred to in any sites I have visited. I hope this helps.

LIving there changed my life � those are not just words but fact too! Steve Bridger Author. Hi,This is a very intresting and detailed blog on kumpungs in Singapore. A lot of hard work has been in place. I was born in Singapore and have stayed in a kumpung called Yan Kit Village at Changi with my relatives when I was very young,I have been trying to locate old photos of the place without success and was wondering if you could help.

Thanks in advance. Miss Wee. Thank you for so much detail. Regards, Jennifer Lim. Photo credit: Tony Arrowsmith. Hi there! I may not know anything about all these but I love reading all about kampongs in Singapore! Always wanted to try staying a night or two in a Kampong however I dont have any relatives staying in a Kampong in other countries.

Anyway, I am working in Telok Kurau area and there is still 2 or 3 Kampongs still standing here! Check it out! Hi, anyone have photos of peng ann road at chai chee. I was born there in the s. Loyang was a mainly Malay Kampong, but had a few caucasians living in it, mainly working at RAF Changi, where I was a weather forecaster. Shell House was a tourist attraction in the kampong, run by two Australians, displaying thousands of species of sea shell.

The village shop was run by a Chinese lady. Most villagers spoke only Malay, which I found quite easy to learn. I was invited to several Malay weddings and relished the food. Some of the brides looked very reluctant. Against my better judgement, my colleague acquired a cat called harimau kechil little tiger and a dog called Katy, also, for a short time a monkey, which was soon set free by local boys. Together with the kampong policeman, an Indian Muslim called Salleh, we all built a bridge across a stream, linking our garden to Jalan Loyang Besar.

A really wonderful website bringing back old memories. I used to live in Haig Road and have quite a few friends who lived there in the 60s. We also had a washer women who comes from the Kampong to our house to do our laundry everyday.

I have visited the Kampong many times and the memories still fresh in me. Thanks a lot for the sharing. Very interesting indeed! Once again thank you very much.

Any more stories? Your work at posting these photos is great. Hi Anne, I may have the odd photo. Please email me at yanglicong hotmail. Kampong houses by the sungei river � a peaceful and rustic scene no longer seen in Singapore today. Do you have photos of the kampong houses and bungalows where I used to lived at No.

I remember our family 2 storey bungalow house at No. Koh See Kok Singaporeean. The age avowed by exploration and migration of the Malays to establish kingdoms beyond the traditional Srivijayan realm. Several exemplification are the enthronement of a Tambralingan prince to reign the Lavo Kingdom in present-day Central Thailand , the foundation of Rajahnate of Cebu in the Visayas and the establishment of the Tanjungpura Kingdom in what is now West Kalimantan , Borneo.

The expansion is also eminent as it shaped the ethnogenesis development of the related Acehnese and Banjar people and further spreading the Indian-influenced Malay ethos within the regional sphere. The period of the 12th and 15th centuries saw the arrival of Islam and the rise of the great port-city of Malacca on the southwestern coast of the Malay Peninsula [68] � two major developments that altered the course of Malay history. The Islamic faith arrived on the shores of what are now the states of Kedah , Perak , Kelantan and Terengganu , from around the 12th century.

By the 15th century, the Malacca Sultanate, whose hegemony reached over much of the western Malay Archipelago , had become the centre of Islamisation in the east. As a Malaccan state religion, Islam brought many great transformation into the Malaccan society and culture, and It became the primary instrument in the evolution of a common Malay identity.

The Malaccan era witnessed the close association of Islam with Malay society and how it developed into a definitive marker of Malay identity. The expansion of Malaccan influence through trade and Dawah brought with it together the Classical Malay language, [73] the Islamic faith, [74] and the Malay Muslim culture; [75] the three core values of Kemelayuan "Malayness". In , the Malaccan capital fell into the hands of Portuguese conquistadors.

However, Malacca remained an institutional prototype: a paradigm of statecraft and a point of cultural reference for successor states such as Johor Sultanate �present , Perak Sultanate �present , Pahang Sultanate �present , Siak Sri Indrapura Sultanate � , Pelalawan Sultanate � and Riau-Lingga Sultanate � Across the South China Sea in the 14th century, another Malay realm, the Bruneian Empire was on the rise to become the most powerful polity in Borneo.

By the middle of the 15th century, Brunei entered into a close relationship with the Malacca Sultanate. The sultan married a Malaccan princess, adopted Islam as the court religion, and introduced an efficient administration modelled on Malacca. It reached its golden age in the midth century when it controlled land as far south as present day Kuching in Sarawak , north towards the Philippine Archipelago.

Brunei's fairly loose river based governmental presence in Borneo projected the process of Malayisation. Fine Malay Muslim cultures, including the language, dress and single-family dwelling were introduced to the natives primarily from ethnic Dayaks , drawing them into the Sultanate. Dayak chiefs were incorporated into the Malay hierarchy, being given the official titles of Datuk , Temenggong and Orang Kaya.

In West Borneo , the development of such sultanates of Sarawak , Sambas , Sukadana and Landak tells a similar tale of recruitment among Dayak people.

Other significant Malay sultanates were the Kedah Sultanate �present , Kelantan Sultanate �present , Patani Sultanate � , Reman Sultanate � and Legeh Sultanate � that dominated the northern part of the Malay peninsula. Jambi Sultanate � , Palembang Sultanate � and Indragiri Sultanate � controlled much of the southeastern shores of Sumatra.

Between and , numerous Malay kingdoms and sultanates fell under direct colonisation or became the protectorates of different foreign powers, from European colonial powers like Portuguese , Dutch and British , to regional powers like Siam and Japan.

In , the Portuguese Empire captured the capital city of the Malacca Sultanate. The victorious Portuguese however, were unable to extend their political influence beyond the fort of Malacca. The Sultan maintained his overlordship on the lands outside Malacca and established the Johor Sultanate in to succeed Malacca. Portuguese Malacca faced several unsuccessful retaliation attacks by Johor until , when the combined forces of Johor and the Dutch Empire , ousted the Portuguese from the peninsula.

As per agreement with Johor in , the Dutch later took control of Malacca. Historically, Malay states of the peninsular had a hostile relation with the Siamese. Malacca sultanate herself fought two wars with the Siamese while northern Malay states came intermittently under Siamese dominance for centuries.

Earlier, the Siamese under Ayutthaya Kingdom have had already absorbed Tambralinga and overrun the Singgora Sultanate in the 17th century. In , the island of Penang was leased to East India Company by Kedah Sultanate in exchange of military assistance against the Siamese. In , the company also acquired Singapore from Johor Empire , later in , Dutch Malacca from the Dutch, followed by Dindings from Perak by and finally Labuan from Brunei in All these trading posts officially known as Straits Settlements in and became the crown colony of British Empire in British intervention in the affairs of Malay states was formalised in , when Malay rulers accepted British Residents in administration, and the Federated Malay States was formed.

These states along with Johor , later became known as Unfederated Malay States. The twilight of the vast Bruneian Empire began during the Castille War against the Spanish conquistadors which arrived at the Philippines from Mexico.

The war resulted in the end of the empire's dominance in the present-day Philippine archipelago. Brunei was a British protectorate from to Though some of Malay sultans maintain their power under Dutch control, [88] some were abolished by the Dutch government under the accusation of retaliation against the colonial rule, like the case of Palembang Sultanate in , Jambi Sultanate in and Riau Sultanate in In the late 19th century, Germany was aiming to gain a foothold in the Malay Peninsula.

They have made a repeated request to Siam on acquiring Langkawi as a naval base, with a possible expansion to the islands of Butong and Teretak since The plan was largely derived under the scheme of the German Grand Admiral, Alfred von Tirpitz who envisioned Langkawi as a vital-base for Berlin's world wide submarine cable network.

The island is also desired as it can act as a point of assembly and restocking for its warship during the times of war. A foothold in Langkawi would also guaranteed a further commercial interest to German private investors to cater the needs of port, a coaling station and the future naval base. By November , the "Deutsche Uebersee-Gesellschaft" German Overseas Association was formed by the German trading and shipping company in order to provide loan amounting to 1,, marks to the sultanate.

The dismissal was largely derived from the Secret Siamese Treaty of , that has required the consent of the British in order for Siam to lease its territory. The crown prince of Kedah was later summoned to Bangkok by Prince Damrong and was warned not to release any concession to other foreign powers without the agreement of Siam.

Although this report was dismissed by Prince Dewawongse of Siam. The prospect of a German annexation of the northern Peninsula and the potential of the its involvement for a commercial canal or railway network across the Isthmus of Kra , posed a serious threat to the British economic interest and political dominance in the region.

Severely alarmed, the British and the Siamese entered the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of , partitioning the Peninsula between the British and the Siamese jurisdiction. The Anglo-Siamese Treaty attested that the Siamese to control the upper portion of the peninsular while the lower region was to be held under the British dominance.

The British originally planned for the inclusion of Reman , Legeh and Setul under their dominion together with a cluster of northern Malay states. Nonetheless, they only managed to secure Kedah , Kelantan , Terengganu and Perlis under the agreement. The treaty also witnessed the state of Kedah being reduced the most, with Tarutao , Butang islands groups, Sendawa , Langgu and the principality of Setul were all being divorced into the Siamese hands, a similar fate was also followed in northeastern coast of Kelantan that was demanded to renounced their right on the Tabal district , including Sungai Golok and Sungai Padi ; while Perlis lost its Pujoh district.

Then-British controlled Federated Malay State of Perak however, saw an enlargement of their land area, with southern territories of Reman being transferred into the state and additionally Kelantan received Jeli from Legeh which had been under Siamese jurisdiction since The treaty nonetheless, manage to sealed the fate of the Malay states of Kedah , Kelantan , Terengganu and Perlis to retain a degree of their sovereign powers under the British colonial government , a legacy that can be witnessed today in the Malaysian administrative system.

Later during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies , British Malaya and Borneo , the Japanese maintained a favourable relationship with the Sultans and other Malay leaders, this is partially composed to foster the trust of the Malay public that was generally loyal towards the sultan.

Nonetheless, in a series of massacres known as Pontianak incidents , the Japanese assassinated virtually all of the West Kalimantan Malay sultans, including a large numbers of Malay intelligentsias after they have been falsely accused of planning an uprising and coup d'etat against the Japanese.

It was believed that West Kalimantan took two generations to recover from the near-total collapse of the Malay ruling class in the territory. Despite the widespread distribution of the Malay population throughout the Malay archipelago, modern Malay nationalism was only significantly mobilised in the early twentieth century British Malaya i.

In the Netherlands Indies , the struggle against colonisation was characterised by the trans-ethnic nationalism: the so-called " Indonesian National Awakening " united people from the various parts of the Dutch colony in the development of a national consciousness as "Indonesians".

In Thailand however, Pattani separatism against Thai rule is regarded by some historians as a part of the wider sphere of peninsula Malay nationalism.

A similar secession movement can be witnessed in modern-day Indonesia, where both autochthonously-Malay provinces of Riau and Riau Islands sought to gain independence under the name of Republic of Riau.

Nevertheless, what follows is specific to the peninsula Malay nationalism that resulted in the formation of the Federation of Malaya , later reconstituted as Malaysia.

The earliest and most influential instruments of Malay national awakening were the periodicals which politicised the position of the Malays in the face of colonialism and alien immigration of non-Malays.

In spite of repressions imposed by the British colonial government, there were no less than journals and newspapers published in Malaya between and The rise of Malay nationalism was largely mobilised by three nationalist factions � the radicals distinguishable into the Malay left and the Islamic group which were both opposed to the conservative elites.

The Malay leftists were represented by Kesatuan Melayu Muda , formed in by a group of Malay intelligentsia primarily educated in Sultan Idris Training College , with an ideal of Greater Indonesia. The Islamists were originally represented by Kaum Muda consisted of Middle east �educated scholars with Pan-Islamic sentiment. The third group was the conservatives consisted of the westernised elites who were bureaucrats and members of royal families that shared a common English education mostly at the exclusive Malay College Kuala Kangsar.

They formed voluntary organisations known as Persatuan Melayu 'Malay Associations' in various parts of the country with the primary goals of advancing and protecting the interests of Malays. The Malay and Malayness has been the fundamental basis for Malay ideology and Malay nationalism in Malaysia.

All three Malay nationalist factions believed in the idea of a Bangsa Melayu 'Malay Nation' and the position of Malay language, but disagreed over the role of Islam and Malay rulers.

The conservatives supported Malay language , Islam and Malay monarchy as constituting the key pillars of Malayness, but within a secular state that restricted the political role of Islam.

The leftists concurred with the secular state but wanted to end feudalism , whereas the Islamic group favoured ending royalty but sought a much larger role of Islam. Since the foundation of the Republic of Indonesia as a unitary state in , all traditional Malay monarchies in Indonesia were abolished, [97] and the Sultans positions reduced to titular heads or pretenders.

The violent demise of the sultanates of Deli , Langkat , Serdang , Asahan and other Malay principalities in East Sumatra during the " Social revolution " of orchestrated by the Communist Party of Indonesia , drastically influenced their Malayan counterparts and politically motivating them against the PKMM's ideal of Greater Indonesia and the Islamists' vision of Islamic Republic.

The new movement forged a close political link between rulers and subjects never before achieved. It generated an excited Malay public opinion which, together with the surprising political apathy of the non-Malays, led to Britain's abandonment of the radical Malayan Union plan.

Two years later the semi independent Federation of Malaya was born. The new constitutional arrangement largely reverted to the basic pattern of pre-war colonial rule and built on the supremacy of the individual Malay states.

Malay rights and privileges were safeguarded. The traditional Malay rulers thus retained their prerogatives, while their English-educated descendants came to occupy positions of authority at the centre, which was being progressively decolonised. In August , the Federation of Malaya , the West's last major dependency in Southeast Asia, attained independence in a peaceful transfer of power.

The Malay language is one of the major languages of the world and of the Austronesian family. Variants and dialects of Malay are used as an official language in Brunei , Malaysia , Indonesia and Singapore. It is spoken natively by approximately 33 million people throughout the Malay Archipelago and is used as a second language by an estimated million.

The oldest form of Malay is descended from the Proto-Malayo-Polynesian language spoken by the earliest Austronesian settlers in Southeast Asia. This form would later evolve into Old Malay when Indian cultures and religions began penetrating the region. Old Malay contained some terms last until today, but remained unintelligible to modern speakers, while the modern language is already largely recognisable in written Classical Malay , which the oldest form dating back to CE.

Initially, Classical Malay was a diverse group of dialects, reflecting the varied origins of the Malay kingdoms of Southeast Asia. One of these dialects that was developed in the literary tradition of the Malacca Sultanate in the 15th century, eventually became predominant. The Malaccan era marked with the transformation of the Malay language into an Islamic language, in similar fashion as the Arabic, Persian, Urdu and Swahili languages.

An adapted Arabic script called Jawi was used replacing the Indian script, Islamic religious and cultural terminologies were abundantly assimilated, discarding many Hindu-Buddhist words, and Malay became the language of Islamic medium of instruction and dissemination throughout Southeast Asian region.

At the height of Malacca's power in the 15th century, the Classical Malay spread beyond the traditional Malay speaking world [] and resulted in a lingua franca that was called Bahasa Melayu pasar "Bazaar Malay" or Bahasa Melayu rendah "Low Malay" as opposed to the Bahasa Melayu tinggi "High Malay" of Malacca. European writers of the 17th and 18th centuries, such as Tavernier , Thomassin and Werndly describe Malay as " language of the learned in all the Indies, like Latin in Europe ".

The dialect of Johor Sultanate , the direct successor of Malacca, became the standard speech among Malays in Singapore and Malaysia , and it formed the original basis for the standardised Indonesian language. Apart from the standard Malay, developed within the Malacca-Johor sphere, various local Malay dialects exist.

For example, the Bangkanese , the Bruneian , the Jambian , the Kelantanese , the Kedahan , the Negeri Sembilanese , the Palembangnese , the Pattanese , the Sarawakian , the Terengganuan , and many others. The Malay language was historically written in Pallawa , Kawi and Rencong. After the arrival of Islam, Arabic -based Jawi script was adopted and is still in use today as one of the two official scripts in Brunei and as an alternative script in Malaysia.

The rich oral literature and classical literature of the Malays contain a great number of portraits of the people, from the servant to the minister, from the judge to the Rajas , from the ancient to the very contemporary periods, which together form the amorphous identity of the Malays.

Considering the softness and mellifluence of the Malay language, which lends itself easily to the requirements of rhyme and rhythm, the originality and beauty in Malay literature can be assessed in its poetical elements. Among the forms of poetry in Malay literature are � the Pantun , Syair and Gurindam. The earliest form of Malay literature was the oral literature and its central subjects are traditional folklore relating to nature , animals and people.

The classical Malay folklore is composed of traditional songs and music, heroic poems, animal fables, ghost stories, past events, fairy tales, symbolic lore, myths and bardic tales. Each of the stories possessed its own energy in terms of character, spirit, backdrop and storytelling and was largely crafted with the intend of happiness, guidance, educating, reminiscing, explaining, among few.

The folklore were memorised and passed from one generation of storytellers to the next. When Indian influences made their way to the Malay Archipelago around years ago, Malay literature began incorporating Indian elements.

Literature of this time is mostly translations of Sanskrit literature and romances, or at least some productions inspired by such, and is full of allusions to Hindu mythology. The era of classical Malay literature started after the arrival of Islam and the invention of Jawi script Arabic based Malay script.

Since then, Islamic beliefs and concepts began to make its mark on Malay literature. The Terengganu Inscription Stone , which is dated to , is the earliest known narrative Malay writing. The stone is inscribed with an account of history, law, and romance in Jawi script. During this era, notable Middle Eastern literary works were translated and religious books were written in Malay language. The most important piece of Malay literary works is perhaps the famed Malay Annals or Sulalatus Salatin.

It was called "the most famous, distinctive and best of all Malay literary works" by one of the most prominent scholars in Malay studies, Sir Richard O. In the 19th century, the Malay literature received some notable additions, including Kitab Ilmu Bedil Book of Traditional Weaponry that provides valuable details of traditional Malay ammunition and weaponry. The era also witnessed the wider usage of Malay medical journals , known as Kitab Tib.

These works are indeed important as it serve as references to the Malay knowledge and technology during the classical era. The same century also witnessed a monumental shift in the Malay literature through writings of Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir , a famous Malacca -born munshi of Singapore.

His work was an inspiration to future generations of writers and marks an early stage in the transition from classical Malay literature to modern Malay literature.

The early Malay communities were largely animists , believing in the existence of semangat spirits in everything. In the 15th century, Islam of the orthodox Sunni sect flourished in the Malay world under the Malacca Sultanate. In contrast with Hinduism, which transformed early Malay society only superficially, Islam can be said to have been fully integrated in the daily life of the population. Nevertheless, the earlier beliefs having deeper roots, they have maintained themselves against the anathemas of Islam � and indeed Sufism or the mysticism of Shia Islam have become intertwined among the Malays, with the spirits of the earlier animistic world and some elements of Hinduism.

Among these traditions was the mandi safar festival Safar bath , a bathing festival to achieve spiritual purity, in which can be discerned features similar to some of those of the Durga Puja of India. It is considered apostasy for Malays to convert out of Islam in Malaysia and Brunei.

However, ethnic Malays living outside of these countries have also embraced other religions legally under the law. Various cultural influences, notably Chinese , Indian and Europeans, played a major role in forming Malay architecture.

However, the most of Srivijayan architecture was represented at Chaiya now a province in Thailand in Malay peninsular, which was without doubt a very important centre during the Srivijaya period. Within an area of about square kilometres, 87 early historic religious sites have been reported and there are 12 candis located on mountain tops, a feature which suggests may derive from pre-historic Malay beliefs regarding sanctity of high places.

Early reference on Malay architecture in Malay peninsula can be found in several Chinese records. A 7th-century Chinese account tells of Buddhist pilgrims calling at Langkasuka and mentioned the city as being surrounded by a wall on which towers had been built and was approached through double gates.

The first detailed description of Malay architecture was on the great wooden Istana of Mansur Shah of Malacca reigned � The traditional Malay houses are built using simple timber-frame structure. They have pitched roofs, porches in the front, high ceilings, many openings on the walls for ventilation , [] and are often embellished with elaborate wood carvings.

The beauty and quality of Malay wood carvings were meant to serve as visual indicators of the social rank and status of the owners themselves. Throughout many decades, the traditional Malay architecture has been influenced by Bugis and Java from the south, Siamese , British , Arab and Indian from the north, Portuguese , Dutch , Aceh and Minangkabau from the west and Southern Chinese from the east. Wood carving is a part of classical Malay visual arts.

The Malays had traditionally adorned their monuments, boats, weapons, tombs, musical instrument, and utensils by motives of flora, calligraphy, geometry and cosmic feature. The art is done by partially removing the wood using sharp tools and following specific patterns, composition and orders.

The art form, known as ukir , is hailed as an act of devotion of the craftsmen to the creator and a gift to his fellowmen. The art form is mainly attributed to the abundance of timber on the Malay Archipelago and also by the skillfulness of the woodcarvers that have allowed the Malays to practice woodcarving as a craft. The natural tropical settings where flora and fauna and cosmic forces is abundant has inspired the motives to be depict in abstract or styled form into the timber board.

With the coming of Islam, geometric and Islamic calligraphy form were introduced in the wood carving. The woods used are typically from tropical hardwood species which is known to be durable and can resist the attacks of the fungi, power-boots beetles and termites. A typical Malay traditional houses or mosque would have been adorned with more than 20 carved components. The carving on the walls and the panels allow the air breeze to circulate effectively in and out of the building and can let the sunlight to light the interior of the structure.

At the same time, the shadow cast by the panels would also create a shadow based on the motives adding the beauty on the floor.

Thus, the carved components performed in both functional and aesthetic purposes. Under the Malay culture, pottery is not solely witnessed as a mere household utensil. It is perceived as a work of art , a paradigm of talent, embroidered with aesthetic, legacy, perseverance and religious devotion.

The Malay earthen is usually unglazed, with the ornamental designs were carved when the pottery is semi-dried during its construction process.

According to several studies, [] the native Malay pottery industry has developed indigenously from the period of great antiquity and has since encapsulates a high-level of culture sophistication.

It also has been noted that the design features of the Malay pottery suggested the absence of the foreign influence prior to the 19th century, a paradox considering the vast cultural contact between the Malays and the outside world. Among the renowned traditional Malay pottery includes Mambong of Kelantan , molded from clay and identified with the colour of terracotta. It is usually assumed the form as cooking utensils.

In the west coast, the raven-coloured Labu Sayung of Kuala Kangsar is honourned for gourd-formed jars. Other forms of Malay traditional pottery are: The Belanga , commonly in a wide rim and a round base, the pot usually mobilised to cook curries. It is held that the structure of the earthen would aid the heat to be evenly distributed, correlating to its round base.

A smaller version of the Belanga is called periok , used for rice -preparation; The Buyong , commonly defined by a straight collar and a spherical body, oftentime used as a water jar; The Terenang , the angular Terenang is used as a canister, especially in the coastal Malay regions of Kelantan , Patani and Terengganu ; The Bekas Bara Small Wooden Sailing Boats For Sale Ebay , a small container, usually crafted for the use of incense ; The Jambangan , a traditional Malay vase , usually for aesthetic purposes and Geluk , a small water storage.

The main characteristic in traditional Malay cuisine is undoubtedly the generous use of spices. The coconut milk is also important in giving the Malay dishes their rich, creamy character. The other foundation is belacan shrimp paste , which is used as a base for sambal , a rich sauce or condiment made from belacan, chillies , onions and garlic.

Malay cooking also makes plentiful use of lemongrass and galangal. Nearly every Malay meal is served with rice, the staple food in many other East Asian cultures. Although there are various type of dishes in a Malay meal, all are served at once, not in courses. Food is eaten delicately with the fingers of right hand, never with the left which is used for personal ablutions, and Malays rarely use utensils.

Protein intake are mostly taken from beef, water buffalo, goat, and lamb meat, and also includes poultry and fishes. Pork and any non-halal meats, also alcohol is prohibited and absent from Malay daily diet. Nasi lemak , rice cooked in rich coconut milk probably is the most popular dish ubiquitous in Malay town and villages.

Nasi lemak is considered as Malaysia 's national dish. Another example is Ketupat or nasi himpit , glutinous compressed rice cooked in palm leaves, is popular especially during Idul Fitri or Hari Raya or Eid ul-Fitr. Various meats and vegetables could be made into Gulai or Kari , a type of curry dish with variations of spices mixtures that clearly display Indian influence already adopted by Malay people since ancient times.

Laksa , a hybrid of Malay and Peranakan Chinese cuisine is also a popular dish. Malay cuisine also adopted and received visible influence from some of their closest neighbours' cuisine traditions, such as rendang adopted from the Minangkabaus in Pagaruyung , and satay from Java, however Malay people has developed their own distinctive taste and recipes.

The Malays have diverse kinds of music and dance which are fusions of different cultural influences. Typical genres range from traditional Malay folk dances dramas like Mak Yong to the Arab-influenced Zapin dances. I wish it still existed and we could have an Old Bees reunion.

Lovely days. For me and others it was a bad experience, we all had a tough time. I done alright though,hope you made it too. Hi Gudrun, I went to Dalhousie School during two summers in the early 60's.

One of the teachers was Miss Pasco. There were many French pupils. Were you a student or did you work like many Icelandic girls did. I also remember the ugly dogs, the table tennis hut and the tennis field.

Would be nice to hear from you. Hi Kitty, good to hear from you : I was a student in Dalhousie School the summer It was a lovely summer and I often think back to Bexhill.

Does anyone remember Merland House prep school Dorset Road? I attended there from - I believe it was still going in the late 's but all trace seems to have have disappeared.

Would love to be in contact with anyone from the 's and 's who went to the school. I have some memories of Wilton House I also remember some really young children in cribs one was a little boy from Nigeria.

I think his name was Essian Udo anyone else remember? I stayed there year round and we used to go on lots of field trips in the summer. My parents lived in Belize and they picked the school from a catalog. After we had been there a few years they came to visit and withdrew us from the school that very day.

I remember that the older girls moved into a house across the street. I remember going to see the Beatles new movie "Help". I remebber we used to all watch Dr Who together every Saturday night. We ate a lot of pilchards on toast. I would really like to hear from anyone that was there when I was.

Especially the people I mentioned. It would be great to hear from anyone who was at School at the same time as myself Katie. Hi Sharon, remember you and your brother well. I would also like to get information about what happened to the school too. I remember the school was near the sea. I also remember watching tv with other kids and being taught how to swim.

We would use glass I think to focus the sun's rays on paper and cause it to burn. I would like to establish contact with the two of you. Take care. Mum and Dad were in th earmy in Germany and thought it was a good prep school. It wasn't but that's another story. I recall meeting a woman in Sydney in who'd been at Merland house in the mid 70's.

Re posts on Collington Manor; I have a photo of the outside of a large house which came attached to some wooden panelling which I bought at auction recently, which purports to have come from the drawing room at Collington Manor.

If anyone would like me to send them a copy by email, please get in touch. I was at CTS from '59 to '62 when Miss. McGarry was headmistress and her mother Madame taught English.

We returned a couple of years ago, but still visit with our youngest daughter and her canadian husband and family. I can't believe an old Charterian lived just up the road, so to speak for all those years! I'd love to hear from you, and anyone elese who remembers "paintbox"! I have just been having a look at this web site and found Harewood School I went to Harewood in when it was at Abingdon Mr Spooner was Head Master when the war started.

My brother Nigel followed me a year later and we stayed there until the school returned to Bexhill in or 45 When we were at Abingdon I can remember the bombers returning from their bombing raids to the RAF airfield not far away we had an Air raid shelter in the front garden of the big house where we were staying. The other day I was going through some of my old papers and found post cards of Harewood School.

If any one wants to get in touch please email me. Adrian Fenton g0nar gotadsl. Normandale was evacuated to Wells Cathedral School during the last war. Please contact me if you were a boy here during that period and can give me some information about the school's time here.

Archivist, Wells Cathedral School, Wells, somerset. I was at St. I must have been in the class above you as I remember all the people you mention. My maiden name was Rooth. I certainly remember Fanny and Vi!!! Hi, I've been trying to locate former students.

If you are out there I would love to hear from you. She died in the 's and my mother sent me a cutting from the paper about it. I wrote to her niece but never kept in touch again. Those girls were in the class above me, yes.

I remember Sheila Read, Janet Carr, Mary Flavell - she used to travel with me on the train from Battle and she disgraced herself and the school by getting pregant!!! I never noticed, being a very naive year-old!!! That would have been after you left. Anna Stait had red hair I think. I now live in South Africa and went back to find the school but it had been knocked down. Sad but really great to hear from you! Hello Elisabeth I went to St.

My two elder sisters Nike and Tania Williams were also there, Nike was in the same class as Mary Flavell by the way the father of her baby was Malcolm Muggeridge!!!!! Hope you see this message.

In the early 's I was a day pupil,with my younger brother at Harewood House. The headmaster was a Rev. Woodruff and the english master Mr. Woodruff was a believer in punishing boys ,which would be frowned on now. He left very suddenly and to the delights of most of us Mr. Phillips took over. I made a few friends there,among them wasa boy called Cambell and another riley.

Would be pleased to hear from anyone that remembered me. Hi Pippa How super to hear from someone else who remembers St Fannys. I thought I was the only survivor! How incredible about Mary Flavell - how on earth did she hook up with Malcolm Muggeridge and how do you know?!!! You talk about Helen French but I was very friendly with Helen English who was two classes below me and likely to have been a prefect a couple of years older than you.

I seem to recognise some of the names you mention as being in about Upper 3 when I was in the 6th form. I have school photographs from and - I wonder if anyone else has?

Do you remember Miss Tucknott the music mistress and going to Hastings for the music festival every year? And Miss Brook who taught us how to cook? Mrs Taylor was our English mistress - she was excellent. Fanny's niece was Suzanne Cawthorn, and there was also a younger sister whose name I cannot remember. Suzanne was in the same class as Helen English. Thanks so much for the message and I'd love to hear from you again.

I keep in regular contact with Jane Mok, now Chang who lives in the States. I would give anything to know your whereabouts and how you are all doing! I was boarded until I left school to migrate to Aust.

Please be in touch if you get this. Best wishes to all of you, Margo. Hi Elisabeth you were right it was Helen English not French too many sips of red wine! The other Cawthorne was Jennifer. I have remembered about 90 names and somewhere have the old school photos, will try and find them. When I have time I will list the names for you. Best wishes Pippa. Hi Pippa I found my old school photos - , and don't know what happened to There are so many faces I know but names have gone with the years and I think I can identify your class but don't know which one is you.

If you have any of those years you could point out in which row you are. In the one I am in the second row 11th from the left. There's Fanny in the middle and on her right, Mrs Deuchars the art mistress Mrs Taylor English and someone I can't remember, then Jane Clare and then me, looking very bored with the whole thing! Helen English is behind Miss Violet and Mrs Platt The French teacher who had a ghastly smoker's cough , looking very sultry and with long blond hair.

I had remembered Jenny Cawthorne's name. Be fun if we could get together or email. Where do you live? I am married to a South African and live in Johannesburg. Hope you drink South African red wine! Regards Elisabeth. Hi Elisabeth, my Father used to live in Jo'burg but unfortunately he is no longer with us, so we dont visit anymore. Im still in Sussex and yes very partial to SA red wine! My Sister has the photos so when I am next over will ask for them.

In the meantime some names. Some more teachers Miss Clarke history Mr. Lundy maths Mrs. Lister after Mrs. Deuchars Mrs. Cowdray Biology. Is that enough to be going on with. Are you on Facebook invite as friend. Will speak again soon xxx Pippa. Dear Margo Candappa and others - not only do I have fond memories of you and all the others you listed but I even remeber your birthdate since it was the same as that of my older brother, Francis.

I am alive and well and living in the United States. As for Miss Mc Garry - who could forget her? I then moved to New York City to work and go to school and it was a lot of fun. Basically I've always been an Educator, at universities, hospitals, assocation, wherever, plus I've done a good deal of international development work in different countries overseas.

My family is OK but regretfully, I lost my dear Dad to cancer aboaut a year and a half ago, but we are doing our best to cope.

In fact I would like to propose a reunion one day of our classmates - as many as possible. I live in Alexandria, Virginia with my husband who is in the Biotech field and my mom and sister Beryl Dennis, also a Charterian, live 6 minutes away. Beryl is 4 years younger so a few of you might remember her. She works in a law firm and is also an ordained minister. Baromi, the baby of the family is an accountant and my brother Francis, who you met, Margo on an exeat and we all had Wimpie Burgers in town, is a Bank president.

Those of my classmates in the U. I'd love to hear from you. Hi Pippa What an extraordinary coincidence that your father lived here. What was his business? Wow, where did you pull all those names up from? I remember lots of them and when I have time will get out my school photos and identify them.

The more we talk, the more I remember a sign of old age? Mrs Cowdray was the biology teacher and she was great. Don't really remember the other teachers you mention - we had a Maths master but I don't remember his name as Lundy. I am on Face Book but am clueless about it and need help to get organised! Maybe I shall be motivated to do it now. I wonder if perhaps our chatting will bring up someone else from those years - I certainly hope so as this is really wonderful to bring back all the memories.

Do you remember Miss Tucknott, the music mistress? She also taught me piano at her home near the swimming baths, where we used to go in the summer. Bi for now, E. Hi Elisabeth, I just seem to have a great memory for names and numbers, although I can remember their faces as though it was yesterday. My Father was a mad inventor he came up with Aercrate a lightweight concrete and mobile machines to produce it continuously. I dont know whether it was your photo but I sent a message thru Facebook to an Elisabeth Short in I guessed SA from the friend contacts?

Perhaps you would like my email which is pippawilliamsATgmail. Hi Pippa and Elisabeth. May I butt in to your conversation? My name was Shirley Hemmings back then and Pippa, I was in the same class as you. My strongest memory is of I think your best friend Vicky Holroyd inviting me to go and see The Beatles perform in London with her family and my parents refused to let me go as I would faint!!!!

I think I was in Miss Violet's class at the time. I also remember going to a party out at Hooe at Mary-Jo's place. Anyway I have lived in Australia for 37 years and have only been back a couple of times but I heard that they knocked our school down!!!!! I have 5 acres, 3 horses, 2 dogs and love Australia so much. I found this website about a month ago when my father died in Bexhill and it got me looking back at old times.

Anyway, I'll post this and see if you remember me. Will chat again soon. Cheers, Shirley. PS I'm 60 now which is rather a shock to me, I guess you're the same!!

I have just read the message from Angela Padden. I left Charters Towers just before you arrived - at the end of the Easter term I, too, was taught by Mrs McGarry Madam and still remember the little tricks she used to get us to remember difficult spelling.

Her lessons have stood me in very good stead. Have read the messages from Bobby Clements and Angela Collier I was at the Beehive at the same time as them but dont know how to reply to them directly computer illiterate. Must admit I don't remember your name but as I mentioned earlier I have the old school photos and perhaps we can identify each other from those.

You see, I'm 5 years older than you two - I was your dreaded Head Girl for a term in ! There were so few of us who actually stayed till the sixth form in those days.

I've been to Australia twice and loved it - have got friends in Sydney and Brisbane and Adelaide and Perth. Would love to visit again. I also love South Africa, in spite of the dreadful things you no doubt hear about this country.

Am vague about Facebook but would really love to communicate on e-mail. Pippa, will send you a message again soon. I reckon between us we can come up with the whole of st fannys pupils. Lovely to hear from you will be in contact soon, must go now impatient guests xx best wishes Pippa.

Looking for classmates who completed A levels in I was there from to and had some fun memories of the science classes.. It would be fun to catch up. Cheers, Anis Lakha. My email is dennishuskin aol. Maybe I could jog everyones memory, I was from Jamaica.

I am writing a biography of Katherine Watson, a poet who died at almost 90 in She kept a wonderful bookshop in Burford, Oxfordshire between and She went to school at Effingham House, Bexhill, from to I am very keen to contact anyone who remembers the school, can describe it, how it looked then and now, and especially anyone who remembers Katherine or the staff that would have taught her in those years.
