Time and tide waits for no man but is it too much to ask to stop and reflect? How long has it been since you last set eyes on your old classmates? Don’t you wish you could just catch-up, relive the golden carefree days or talk about that timeswhen you almost set the class on fire? How about just wanting to check up on how the OFA’s doing? Well, this is the section for you. Go ahead, turn the pages and check the OFA. Look at the names of the office bearers and see if they are familiar. ‘Old Frees’ is devoted to honouring all you Frees who have once served under the Grand Old Lady. Memories will surface and it is only right we let it. After all, you are part and parcel of the school. Featured this year is OFA Penang, OFA Selangor, OFMA (Old Frees Muslim Association) and the PFS foundation. Sincere thanks to Mr Goh for all the guidance in this section throughout the year. It has been a pleasure and an honour serving as a student under you. Keep that flame and love for the Grand Old Lady burning for an eternity. It is only right to do so. ‘Once A Free, Always A Free’ Kyle Chan Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the Sports and Games Section of the 2012 Penang Free School Magazine. Living up to the vision of producing scholars, sportsmen and gentlemen, Penang Free School has once again given birth to a plethora of students excelling in both sports and games. With eight dazzling sport houses, frees alike have flourished in the sports and games scene annually, each and every one eagerly trying to hoist the proverbial flag of their houses. Their sweat and spirit rage fiercely, be it during the Inter-house Games, the Sports Carnival or the grand Sports Day, truly reminiscent of soldiers fighting in blood-stained fatigues (or in our case, sweat-drenched sports attire) in the heat of war. This entire section had been painstakingly brought together not by a single man’s effort. I sincerely thank my trainee, Aaron Khoo, for all the work he’s done as ‘tired’ and ‘bored’ does not seem to exist in his dictionary. Without his help and support, it was not possible to have completed this section with such accurate captions and elaborate pictures. Sweat is shed by the buckets as wins and losses peel off in laughter and cheers. Flipping through the pages, there will be an abundance of pictures, each unit having its own. Enjoy! Cheah Wen Chong

This year, like the years before, everlasting memories have been engraved, personalities have unfolded and some of us will be going our seperate ways in a mere few months. Flipping through the pages, you will find a lot of young talent spurring Frees to greater heights. Last but not the least, I want to thank my dear friend Rishenkumar for his expertise in taking the pictures and for always being there to ease my burden when it comes to arranging photoshoots with the winners. My duties end at this point and here I am, signing off for the last time bearing the title of Sub Editor of Laurels of Penang Free School 2012 Volume 12 No.5.

Fellow readers, It is with pleasure that I welcome you to the Frees section. This is the section in which most of us will excitedly look for each other’s faces and reminisce on times that have passed. I hope that Frees and old Frees alike will be able to think about the important choices they’ve made during their time of acquiring knowledge in this school while looking at these pictures. I think it goes without saying that the completion of this section was not an easy task. However, completing difficult tasks has never been a problem for the board. Teamwork was the most essential component in each photo shoot. Seniors and trainees both worked with each other to ensure the photo shoots went well. For this, I would like to express my thanks to my fellow comrades who have diligently coordinated the photo shoots with the much needed aid of Mr. Goh Seng Kar. Fellow readers, I pray that you will reflect upon the good and bad times with an open heart while flipping through the pages of this section. Do not be discouraged by the choices of the past and improve yourself with lessons learnt from the past. To the readers who are still wearing a uniform, be the best that you can be because NOW is the time you live and how you live now will affect your future. Once a Free, Always A Free. Muhd. Burhanudin
