Fresh from the success of Geek Day, students were impatient for a second round of dressing up.
Back To School Day!
On 17th October, we descended upon the Wee Kim Wee building in our school uniforms looking like a horde of overgrown happy kids at an inter-school assembly. School uniforms used to be the bane of our creative fashion inclinations and a mark of the routine boredom commonly associated with school days.
Perhaps it was the nostalgia in the air or the sudden desire to hark back to our earlier days of schooling that Back to School Day turned the old school uniform into a novelty outfit we were all willing to put on, once again. It was a visual feast that day as we observed our peers appearing years younger than usual in their old uniforms. Nostalgia hung heavy as students played classic games like zero point, snakes and ladders and capteh at the benches.
