A Friday in St Pats History.

For the whole of last week I had to pick my brother up from school after his exams as he couldn't walk. Yesterday, however, as i was walking into school, i bumped into Brother Nicholas. I was rather surprise and he invited me to the Brother's quarters where i could relax for the next two hours whiles waiting. At that time i was craving for a can of coke, but before brother left to run his errands, he turned around and asked, "would you like to have a can of coke". i smiled, and he reached his hand for the fridge in his room and smiling said, "here, a can of ice cold coke".He left me immediately after that.


I guess the cross must have been there for a very long time.Below is and old door knob.



Typewriter, given to bro macnally

The remains of the old central staircase

During the wait, i walked around the quarters looking at some history artifacts in it.
There was an old teak table and on top of it displayed an antique type writer presented to bro macnally in the 1960s. Beside the teak table stood an old cabinet of st pats history, in it was the wood from the old central staircase, a few shields and trophy imprinted with the old brothers names in it from 1950s and a few merchandise like the school badge. Opposite the cabinet was what i thought never be there in school, and here in Singapore. There laid the vestment of the late Pope John Paul the second. it was given to the brothers of de la salle for safe keeping. Thanks to Fr iggy.





I'd never that i had this in my school when i was schooling here.
