Roll of Honour


Did you know that there's a BBGS museum within the school grounds of SM Seri Bintang Utara? I was informed by Ainun Ghazali, a much younger BBGSian who was part of the transition to the new grounds in Cheras.

Looking through the museum pictures, my heart literally leapt for joy when I spotted the School Captains Honour Roll that used to hang in the school hall. What a nostalgic sight!

I'm probably over-emoting and slightly biased because my name is on that honour roll, but it was a special honour to serve as BBGS school captain, and till today - it's an accolade that I proudly display on my CV.

Well, that's true, I was a BBGS Museum member...but it seems fewer girls are joining the Prefect BBGS Museum!!! Sometimes, they had rumors that that prefect board is gonna close down. Hope, you, seniors joining alumni gives moral support to boost their BBGS spirit!!!

Well, hope, you seniors will give moral boost and BBGS Spirit to BBGS Prefect Board!!!!

Compare to other Prefect Board in school, we have fewer members during my year being a BBGS Prefect. Actually, my friend Hamisah had started selling special edition jumper to start BBGS Merchandise.

Yap Yoke Chin(1980) is my former teacher. She is now an english teacher in SMK Hwa Lian Mentakab, Pahang.

Not sure, Joanna, but Tong Yin Fen might be my husband's cousin. I know her by her Christian name, Lina, I think. Might be mistaken. Will confirm with him but the date looks right. She's on FB as Lina Tong
