Are you a true-blue BBGSian?

NEWSFLASH!

You're all invited to try out the new Facebook quiz entitled "Are you a true blue BBGSian?". It was designed by Tan Lu Meng & myself (Class of 1987).

Come back and tell us if you enjoyed it. Better still, send it round to all the BBGSians you know ;-)

Celebrating our 115th year

From Jan - Mar 8, we ran a poll asking BBGSians what they thought would be the best way to celebrate BBGS' 115th anniversary this year.

Almost 150 votes were tallied and here's what you told us:

Start BBGS gallery @ Pavilion - 63%

Gala Reunion Dinner - 38%

Start BBGS private school - 19%

Publish BBGS songbook - 4%

A big THANK YOU to all of you who voted!

A place to call our own

Judging from the response in this recent poll, it appears that many ex-BBGSians would love a place to call our own. A clubhouse of sorts. If it's on the site of the Pavilion, even better. After all, it's the classiest joint in KL and we were undoubtedly the classiest chicks in town. And very modest too! :-)

If we could have a little gallery or cafe, what would it look like? Perhaps it will be cozy, English-cottage styled, with liberal doses of BBGS-green? Or a more formal Georgian-styled dining room? Or maybe a 1950s Malayan-style tuckshop? We could fill it with loads of photos of the old school, old girls, trophies, memorabilia and lots of happy memories.

What would be on the menu? All our regular canteen and food-sale favourites, no doubt. I'm thinking of:

• Sambal and sardine toasties
• Coconut candy
• Mrs Abraham's caramel fudge & pizzas
• Mrs Chua's tiramisu
• Mrs Aziz's rock buns
• Sengkuang/Pineapple slices topped with red sweet sauce & peanuts
• Ice balls with syrup
• Ais kacang
• Nasi lemak
• Lam mee
• Curry puffs, cakes, lepat pisang (and all other Home Science experiments)
• Watery orange cordial served in grimy cups (err..maybe not!)

Any ideas, anyone?

Favourite BBGS tradition
