Looking at the school - where the toilets are - I remember how I dreaded to go there. Gave me goosebumps each time I went in. I don't know why. Every now and then, I would get my husband to drive me to the school. Just to see the place where I grew up and gained knowledge. Thanks a million James.

Thank you very much on your interesting...Hi James,<br /><br />Thank you very much on your interesting post on the history of the PEES and the current United Medical Nursing home! I recently went to visit my uncle who is currently staying at the nursing home and was caught by the serenity of the whole place! I was also wondering about the old building which is just a simple structure of 3 floors in a row. Interesting to know that it was a school that's why. By the time I went to primary school, it was already in those double L-shape type with a square field in the middle, so it did not struck me that the nursing home used to be a school before. <br /><br />Mmm....you mentioned that it is likely that the nursing home would only be temporary there. I am not sure how long my uncle will be there but he is currently being well taken care of so I hope it won't relocate anytime soon. Furthermore, I am planning in due time to bring my kids there to distribute some food to the patients there. <br /><br />Thank you for the posts which has greatly enlightened and touched me! :><br /><br />GinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291749928176751452.post-32034266798730491102011-12-20T17:32:28.809+08:002011-12-20T17:32:28.809+08:00How true!
