St. John’s Boy’s toilet
There was once a day I never hesitated to go the toilet at school. There was once a day when the school toilet greeted us with the fresh scent of lavender. There was once a day when it was possible to take a shower in the school toilet. There was once a day the lock on the cubicles were in perfect condition. There was once a day the school toilet wasn’t a victim of vandalism. Oh, how I miss my St. John’s days.
The dilapidated toilets at SA reeks of shit/pee/smoke and I have photographic evidence. Sometimes, the stench tickles my nose. I think the odor can also choke someone to death. You could leave a decomposing body in one of the cubicles, and no one would notice. Bear in mind that, this is the cleanest Boys toilet (2nd floor) throughout the whole school.
SA Boy’s toilet (2nd floor)
How do you expect us to go from squeaky clean toilets to a toilet beyond repair? Don’t they know that vandalizing the toilets will only cause problems to themselves (and innocent others) and not the teachers?
Sure, the SA sinks look perfect in the photo. Well, they’re not. If you have a keen eye for detail, you might’ve noticed that there is no drainage pipes beneath the sinks (No, it’s not hidden nor tucked away in the photo – there isn’t any). Which means, all used water (includes spits, phlegm etc.) from sinks falls directly to the floor (or in my case, directly on my shoes). Which explains why the toilet is really really wet. Trying desperately to fix, students jam the sink with cigarette buds — bad idea. And don’t get me started with the cubicles — imagine busted locks and unflushable toilets.
Another problem is that, the school/administration locks all the toilets on the 1st floor during recess (peak toilet usage times). All the students flock and cram the 2nd floor Boy’s toilet to take a whiff (there is a higher risk of getting caught if they smoke in the ground floor toilets)
And did I mention that the boy’s toilets are located at the very very far end in the vast and dense jungle (yes, jungle) of SA?
I can’t wait to leave this dump (2 more years… Affy, 2 more years).
For an on-going forum discussion on SA toilets, click here (appalling shitty pictures included). Just to give you guys a taste on how hot the forums are: Exhibit A (as posted in the forums) NOT for the faint-hearted and squeamish: consider yourselves warned. And I did NOT take that picture.
I spy, with my little eye, something beggining with ‘S’: shitty footprints

St John’s toilets look.. appealing.
My God! I can’t believe you took a picture of a toilet bowl covered with shit!
And by the way, you guys are lucking because you got squeaky clean sinks.. the sinks at the girl’s toilet’s could use some HEAVY DUTY scrubbing. There’s this “white substance” that covers all of the sinks. As for the toilet bowls.. its more or less the same. (eew!)
Even the girl’s toilets are far away.. And trust me.. one whiff of that horrible stench.. you’d be gasping for fresh air to breathe! I guess I complained too much.
@syaz: just to make it clear to you and everyone. I DID NOT TAKE THAT SHIT PICTURE. HAHA. It was posted in the forums. Hehe. I’ve never entered the cubicle.
Can’t you guys complain about the state of the toilets?
@Jewelle: A friend of mine said (though I can’t prove this claim) that previous SA students did lodge a complaint to a group tutor. And all the tutor said was: if they fixed the toilets, more and more students will start to smoke in the toilets (in school). And the new toilets will be subjected to vandalism the very next day (the school is massive and so is the population, it’s hard to control).
Since it’s a government school, getting the budget to revamp the toilets will require alot of paperwork. It’s a tedious task. I’m sure the office clerk will not be happy about this.
I would love to be head if a group of students pitched in (which won’t be a problem) and lodge a complain, but the problem is that I’m new to that school and I really don’t know my way around the school yet. (Heck, I only know about 5 of the teachers in that school) And like all fresh-meat students do, we remain tight lipped and just adapt to the new environment.
Plus, I don’t want to be labelled as the se-tahi junior.
Haha ’sitaie’ lah :p hahaha tho ur spelling is correct… But to pronounce it correctly.. U have to say ’sitaaiiiieee’ *lol*…

EWWWW, Complainn !
More or like the old ugama paduka toilets.
There was once i went for the Malay Bahas competition in Bandar, Sekolah Arab Lelaki (i think thats the name). Me n my mates had to go to the loo because we just arrived there from a one hour drive from KB but when i got in their toilet i completely changed my mind. I rather just be on hold. Quite picky with toilets.
Blahhhh !

Take care.
@sashimi: Eww, I wouldn’t want to be you! HAHA. Gross.
@qamaruz: So you’re the one brave enough to take a shitty photo of someone suffering from explosive diarrhea huh? You deserve a medal. Wait, it wasn’t yours, was it? HAHA. Just kidding, man.
@r&al: Hey, not my school eh. HAHA. I’ve never seen a janitor doing janitorial work on the 2nd floor. I think they are busy playing nurse on the ground floor. If you know what I mean.
@stells: HAHA. The same thing happened to me when I was doing my Malay oral exams at PJN. It was so disgusting, my body re-absorbed all the pee in my bladder back to wherever it came from. HAHA. Which reminds me, I have a photo of the toilet. Really. WORST THAN SA TOILET! Need to do some major photo digging tonight! If it’s deleted, then tough luck. HAHA
