visit to yishun campus
Saturday, November 3, 2007 @ 1:47:00 PM
views about new campus.02/11: after lunch at BK, i suggested we (peixin, ansar and i) go to the new-renovated yishun campus to check it out. we asked the security guard, who was listening to her mp3, if we can enter the school. she seemed to have said okay to everyone.
we started our tour from the
supposedly platform and DNT block. we walked beside the tiny parade square. what went through my mind was, how are the UGs and the performers going to be inside for future NDPs or any parades. nvm. we walked along the corridors. some colours are disgusting. bright, concentrated yellow against the plain yellow background! the next door is some light chocolaty brown. erm...
that
was the home econs rooms.
btw, all the places i am saying here in this post, were the original rooms or places, not the new ones as i cannot remember. we also saw the
shelter? we went up the nearest staircase we saw. and i reminded them that, it was at the position where the toilet next to the home econs rooms.
we climbed up and we are now standing at the corridors of our ex- sec 1 classrooms. the corridors are wider. we also realised that the classrooms are squarish. -,- a bit weird huh. we then turned to walk to the hall. everything is connected to one another.
i agree with catherine; it is really like a polytechnic. i saw from cheryl's blog that the hall is like Home Team Academy's Harmony Hall. they have the chairs which can be kept. so cool. just imagine they will have the mass lecture. i am so jealous now. one is enough; the new campus has two of the halls.
the carpark path leading from the back of the DNT block, where YTWO & NPCC used to fall in, was replaced by the corridors outside the hall. well. the large area outside the auditorium can be a new place for the UGs or YTWO to fall in. we went to explore the canteen next, coz i said i heard from jessie that the
canteen is circular.
it was not so circular as i had imaged it to be. the chairs and tables are not there yet; it does not seem that bad
, yet. another thing is, ALL THE CCA ROOMS, INCLUDING COUNCIL ROOM, ARE JUST BESIDE THE CANTEEN. imagine the crowd just gets too messy and they can actually peer into council room, guides room, sjab room and ncc room. isn't the construction a bit problematic? the rooms are also very very very small. i thought our rooms in the un-renovated yishun campus were small enough, although the sembawang campus rooms were slightly bigger, but still small. now, the rooms are unfit for anyone to enter after placing the items inside.
i had a hard time finding npcc room. OMG. it is in the dark corridor between the basketball court and the canteen. OMG. we are beside bb. the neighbour does not matter; or maybe it does- we are suffering together. if there are anyone occupying the basketball court, we will die. of noise pollution.
(not to mention if there were any cockroaches from the canteen; i believe the school is free of cockroaches =S) small and dark, worse than storeroom. ALRIGHT, I SHALL BE OPTIMISTIC.
(but how?)the basketball court is really like a bird cage. not to mention the gates, but the FANS and ventilation. for goodness sake. on the bright side, there can be indoor competitions and parades, since the hall seems unavailable, by accordance to mr yong about the floorings.
there is no sound proof for the band room and it is retardedly situated on the fourth floor. omg. can you imagine the agony they are going through, moving the instruments down? i have tried that twice. NO FUN, NO JOKE.
many things are done in such a way that they are wasting space, a lot a lot. such as the fountainS, canteen, WIDE corridors. might as well donate the space to the CCA rooms. it is not privacy by giving us the corridor room; it is torture. it is like a storeroom. OMG.
summary:the campus is lower. (evidence is from the slope to outside)
the parade square has seriously shrunk (i wonder where the cars are to be parked during PTR sessions).
the platform has been replaced with the administration block. the direction of the canteen has changed.
one more fountain is built in front of the ex platform (waste space lor).
CONVENIENTLY, npcc room is located at some abandoned corridor.
and it is smaller than the dumb fountain in the middle of the car park.
the gym and the CCA rooms have been replaced with the DNT studios.
DNT block is replaced with the hall and the basketball court. (the grass patch also)
the piano area and bookshop ARE GONE! replaced with a building (above ex home econs rooms).
and that building is this; which is built beside the bougainvillea wing.
the fern lounge is left untouched and it looked like someone just threw it there.
home econs rooms
(more high class) have been moved to fourth floor.
IT rooms are replaced by some irritating rooms. (imagination & expression-art rooms lor)
ART ROOMS ARE NICER!
band room is next to beethoven and dance studio.
staff rooms are at the ex platform have 2 levels. (staircase leading up)
i do not see any air-conditioners anywhere.
i am still not over the fact that npcc room is like a storeroom, small, dark and ABANDONED. i wonder what we have done to deserve this, or rather what we have not done to deserve better. i complained to my sister. her comments are, then for what they built the foyer, pondok yidao, platform and pigeon hole? in the end still gone. i do not like the school now. it just does not give the homely feeling like the unrenovated campus or the sembawang holding site.
i really feel guilty; the guilt is still residing in my heart. i am feeling very terrible. i do not want to be diagnosed with the bystander syndrome.
