Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Wan Chan Peew recalls his difficulties in technical studies and why, upon graduation, he joined the Finance Department in the Naval Base. He reunited with his former school mates years later. He talks about how studying should be an enjoyable experience while it prepares students for adulthood. He also suggests building around old schools instead of demolishing them.
