I'm doing my graduate studies now in the US and its cynically speaking, it's almost more important than the content! Project, enunciate and make eye contact. I dare say few ex-choral speakers would find that difficult to do. It's what helps us to project confidence even when we're shaking inside, I think, and BB girls have confidence in spades. <BR/><BR/>The other thing is the way they wisely split up the english classes so that the best got to read literature. Looking back now, I realise there was incredible foresight in that, because the standard in Malaysia was starting to slide around then. Those teachers were amazing and so under-recognized.<BR/><BR/>Pin Sym.

Please do forward photos & stories of alumni (yourself included) and I'd be happy to post it on this blog. <BR/><BR/>P/S: Sorry for personifying the scary prefect in school. I lived under the misguided notion that fear equates to authority.

I remember being really scared of you in school as you wore a fierce scowl most times (it worked!). Thanks for bringing back all the good memories. it would be great to have BBGS alumni post up some photos of themselves and families and write a little bit about what they're doing now.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>Belle Lee Luer aka Tinkerbell Love LeeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043829538805906111noreply@blogger.com
