The ceramic picture of this lady caught my eye because on uniform top were chinese characters which i later found out to be Chung Hwa. Was she a student or teacher of Chung Hwa Girls' High School ? This remains a mystery for now. In the burial registrar, her name was listed as : Alice Lim.
Alice Lim is a Teochew girl who passed away at the age of 18 on 24 January 1937. From this further information, it is more possible that she was a student there.

(Postnote: 30 May 2026) - Thanks to Raymond Goh's latest article, i confirmed that Alice Lim / Alice Lim Moo Yee was indeed a student in Chung Hwa Girl's High School and not only that, from the chinese papers - she won first prize in a competition, maybe an inter-school mandarin oratory competition.

Chung Hwa Girl's High School
To give a sense of appearance, i tried searching for photos from Chung Hwa Girl's High School and so far i found a photo from 1950's of a photo from the girls basketball team.
