Bodhi Tree at Nanyang House

Nanyang House is a three storey building with a rooftop terrace on a small hill in the NTU grounds. It houses the club rooms (now reduced to cabinets) of the various CCAs. Being an active member of the NTUBS, Nanyang House was a place I spent many happy and meaningful hours making friends, organising activities and simply having a lot of fun.

One little known fact is that amongst the many trees planted around Nanyang House, there is a Bodhi Tree that is a 'descendent' from the one in India under which the Buddha gained enlightenment.

Today the Alumni held its annual gathering and also took the opportunity to unveil a new plaque for the tree. Owing to the occasion, I was able to meet up with some of my very old comrades from NTUBS. Like the tree, we have also grown up!
