Thanks
I give thanks
Not only for
What I have
But also for
What I will
Soon come
To find.

I give thanks
For trials
And tribulations
That have to
Be overcome.

I give thanks
For the test
That must
Be passed.

I give thanks
For happiness
And pain.
No matter the
Emotion - I
Give thanks
Just the same.

AHS changed the lyrics of the school song under mr wang in 2003/2004 i cant remember.

it took some members of the alumni 3 years to realise that the song has changed. and now there's an online petition to change the school song back to the old version.

they shouldnt have changed the song in the first place. an institution never changes its icons. be it a song or a logo or a motto. it's what defines the institution. for ahs to be among the best in singapore, best meaning prestigious, and not just academic-wise, we must preserve our 50 years of heritage.

the alumni are in an uproar. many of them are unhappy with the decision to change the school song. same for the students. many students i know of dont like the school song and insist on singing the old one.

isn't the old one better? yes, the words are nearly impossible to comprehend, but once you know the meaning, you would know how deep these lyrics are. that they cant just be changed. we have to preserve the chineseness of AHS. can you imagine what it would be like if the government decided to change the national anthem to english because majority of singaporeans cant speak malay? or if they were to change our flag without asking the people?

the unilateral decision to change the school song caused an uproar 3 years ago among students and teachers. even as a sec one then, i felt it was a bad decision to change the school song. 3 years later, in the present, the uproar is making a comeback, and the alumni are into it. an article was even written in lianhezaobao about the alumni's unhappiness over this issue. to save further embarrasment, please change the song back. how humiliating to be in a school where changing the song is an issue. we should be focusing on more important things...

you can change the principal, the buildings, the teachers and the students. but some things you just cannot change.
