Hence RCPL will be organizing a series of events to commemorate this! Check this Facebook group for more, the event or contact RCPL
Since everyone is expected to contribute, my contribution will be these photos. That was back in August 2006 when I was doing my Design & Tech project in Upper Six, & I used to bring my camera everyday - the same camera which I broke a few months ago.
I've only posted a few pics here but you'll find the rest on my Flickr page.
Zoom on the lettering - RCPL is missing an 'O.' Why?
That particular letter was broken by a missile - a ball hit by someone... & that someone hid the pieces of 'O' in the drain just below... LOL
The volleyball court - football ground in the early years until volleyball was introduced & everyone caught on.
The basketball court - used for playing football as well...
The football ground... perhaps the biggest in any college. Surely you'd think that there is more ground that students? Wrong!! In my first year, back in 2000, every square inch of it was occupied during breaks - not only the ground, but the basketball court, the volleyball court, in fact anywhere with a little space! All classes had their own reserved space for playing football - it was literally like having ants all over the place!
However by the time I reached 6th form, due to the educational reforms, there was a drastic decrease in students & I never saw that sight again.
Hopefully, with RCPL being back to a 'normal' college, I expect things have taken their natural course...
The Ruins?
One of the “glue” trees!
The mural painted on the occasion of... a MOE college paint competition or something.
I know I missed loads of pics of memorable places - the dry swimming pool converted into volleyball/pétanque spot, The Hall & its Hall of Fame, the Salon, the Labs, the Canteens, the Amphitheatre, the Library, the Gym, the Music Room/Store, the Toilets (eurgh), the Abandoned House, the Fort, the Tunnel, the Art Room & the Workshop & its store...

Sure, the infrastructure isn’t as modern as in newer colleges, but it’s the memories that matters most – nothing beats the celebration of Laureates.…

Since then things have changed beyond recognition. I greatly regret having never managed to take the rest of photos. I now realise that I have hardly any memento of my wonderful time at RCPL... :'(
Check the rest of the pics on Flickr.
Easter egg – one of the RCPL dogs was caught in the wild… :P

I stumbled upon this through a Smashing Apps post - Locate The Best Wi-Fi Hotspots Anywhere Around The World Read More
UPDATE:
Yes it has happened! Better than expected, most connection speeds were doubled! Don’t read this post, instead check this new one for more details - Orange ADSL prices decrease on 1st March 2009!
According to Slashfilm, that’s Decepticon The Fallen who appears in its Cybertronian form. Some say that he's responsible for the Decepticons split from Cybertron... looks a bit like Sauron (LOL), but most Transformers fans would agree that this is a life-like version of the Decepticon logo!!
