I remember hearing the bell of St Columba Church every sunday but always losing to my sleepy eyes as I fall back to sleep. My brothers and sister always play around the area even until the graveyard at the kindergarten. There is a stream at the foot of the RTM hill and we would sometime play there. Behind the Pusat Belia at that time was a play ground with swings and seesaw. I remember one afternoon when I was 4 or 5 yrs old, I walk over to the playground to play with the swing until evening. Everybody was looking for me and later had an earful of scolding by my parent. At that time, there was no television, so at evening time we would go out looking for grasshoppers and what ever peek our interest. Sometime we get firefly and we would put it in a glass jar and would fall asleep while watching it blink. Fun memories from when i was staying at St john;s wood. Thanks for bringing back memories. BTW my mother was a teacher in st columbas primary school.

In fact i stayed at St.John Wood road near the primary school. My dad works in JKR and we stayed there til 1986. Our house was just next to the Primary School. I remember there was palm trees along the road back then. I used to walk to school and the beach is jut 10mins walk away. I was a little sad when i came back from KL ..to see the Government Quarters no longer there. I had many pleasant memories living there. Ms. Chan was my principal back than too.
