But i remembered following Mrs Fong to my class…wonder how?????
the canteen served the best “mee kari” and “kuih keladi”..oh ya anybody have pictures of the hockey field? i cant forget getting my leg black and blue practising to be “the” goalkeeper for the scholl hockey team…i just love the field especially the smell of the freshly cut grass in the early morning when we were made to do 10 laps around the field..

daisy….how are you? Do you remember me? Shirley?
These pix really bring back sweet memories to me as ex student CGS. Puan Che Su will be coming new principal oh gosh!! My ex-literature (Sastera Melayu Moden – 1983) teacher. Wish I could meet Pn. Che Su.
Wonder where is Sister Anne, Sister Mary (Art teacher), Ms. Guan (Home Science teacher), Miss Ooi (Maths teacher) .. cannot remember the rest .. too long already.. (Pn. Salmiah – BM teacher) ..
Hmm… after SPM result in 1995, I left Taiping. And since that day, I’ve never been there…until early of this year. Convent school was the first place I came to visit. Although I didn’t have the chance to enter..but by just looking at the old building makes my heart melt and all the great memories flashes through my mind… Really misses those days….
It’s a great effort and 2 thumbs up for the organizer…!!! Wish I can come to the gathering .. 😦
It’s nice to see back all the old pictures…Remembering the field that we used to have our PJ session the canteen where we always hang out before and after school..The school compound…..Well it’s been 7years I’ve left the school and yet each time when I came back to Tpg I’ll just drop by to visit all my dearie teachers who are still teaching in SMC..Glad to be Convent Girls!!!
These pictures definately make the girl tears … it bring back wonderful memories of our childhood time and how much we enjoyed our good old days in Convent. Am wondering what happen to our Siberia classrooms, our library at 3rd floor and the 4 outdoor badminton courts where Mrs David Lee trained us on every Saturday morning. Does anyone know where is our MacGyver now?
great blog!! many thanks to all involved. wonderful memories. heartiest congrats to tribute night committee!! very impressed with turn-out esp the teachers. regret not able to participate. am pleased to see many familiar names above…. hi, friends! i can be reached at mgtay@scholastic-asia.com.

Great blog and well done CGs !
GREAT BLOG!!! REALLY EXCITED TO SEE ALL THE PICTURES.
MY EX-LITERATURE (SASTERA MELAYU MODEN – 1982/83) IS THE NEW PRINCIPAL!!
LIKE IJAN AHMAD KUSHASHI, WHERE IS OUR SISTER ANNE, SISTER MARY AND EXP. PUAN SALMIAH OUR BM TEACHER!!!
I got so emotional looking at all these pictures, it really brings back memories. I would really love to find out about one Mr Ooi who used to be my favorite teacher.
truly a great blog, real glad to be a convent girl.
hello cecelia, i am in the same year with you and i can still remember you. pls contact me in thru my facebook. date now 19th nov 2012. will info you about mr ooi. tx
congratz n well done…i didn’t know about the existence of this alumni..i just knew when i saw my sister’s school book srikandi 12th edition..i bet that many of us still don’t know bout this alumni…so,my suggestion is that the president or the person who is in charge makes more promotion n also informs us how we can join this community…i’m sure that my batch (graduated on 2003) will be very happy to join!
“simple in virtue,steadfast in duty..”

Wow! Really bring back those memories when i scroll down the pics. Really touching guys! Keep up the good work. Any gathering happening in SMK Convent itself?
Well done sisters!! You know how difficult it is to find a good school nowdays. I always wanted a ‘girls only’ school for my daughter but what choice do I have as I’m staying in Puchong area, and sending her to the nearest Convent school would take like… what ..2 hours journey..
Anyway kudos!! to all for this wonderful initiative…
ps: Picture of the canteen…anyone care for a bowl of Laksa and fishballs..??Umm..
Wow I left the school in 1985 but boy what a flood of memories! Where is Sr. Theresia & Sr. Betty Netto? Not to forget Miss Murugesu who I am sure would have loved to smack me with a hockey stick.
Cheers and well done guys

Class of 80 (SPM)
Wow!! those picture really remind me of those happy days. Well! Ms Murugesu is my class teacher in 1985. I still remember clearly the fisrt day when the scool open. we were eager to know who will be our class teacher. As our class is 3P1 the first class on the first floor, I remember evertime the teachers came out from the teacher’s room we will pull our neck out to see which class they were in. we were wondering where is Ms. Murugesu. Later she came out and was passing by our class and were all sooo happy and gigling at each other since she was not our class teacher but to our horror few minutes later she came in our class and ask us ” Is this 3P1?” we were looking at each other and with our big and scary eyes said ” Yes, teacher” Ha!Ha! You must be wondering why we are so sceptical and worried of getting her as our class teacher as earlier all our senior we telling us how strict and fierce is the lady named Ms. Murugesu but gosh the seniors are wrong !!she was totaly different and opposite from all the stories we heard. I remember she brought a basket full of rambutan and gave to us to eat on the field under the bid shaddy tree near the high jump court. I remember when our class were out in the librabry, we saw a big handwriting on the black board with message ” Where are my black sheep gone to ?” Yes we were her black sheep and when she retired that year we were crying as she was one of the best class teacher we ever had. Well!! All our teachers are the best right!! Everytime when I remember this it never failed to put a smile to my face
These pictures truly brought me to an unspeakable memory lane. It got me ponder on the wonder years I had in Convent. I sincerely thank all the teachers who were the potters that molded us towards “Convent is my Pride” feeling today. I merely sang the song during assembly but now I appreciate each and every word that I sang. Thank you for posting the photographs.
beautiful memories of those school years rush back with just a sight of the convent school pix, even though its 42 years ago.
well done organizing team.
It’s wonderful to see those photos which bring back good memories of the past! It’s a pleasure and i would like to say a big thank you. So proud of being a Convent girl!
