Standing tall and mighty, the heart of our school, stands the Hwa Chong clock tower. Ticking at every second, moving at every minute and progressing in every hour, it is the symbol of our school. The never-faltering figure in the school, driving the spirits of the students of Hwa Chong, it grows older every year, every month, every week, every day, every hour, every minute and every second. The time it shows is like the counting of the moments in our lives. Every passing Hwa Chong students tilts up to look at the giant, and as if he was brainwashed, automatically knows the time. Some take their time to stare at it, and a tinge of respect and feeling trickles through their veins. "Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick.."
