THE REUNION NIGHT


What a enjoyable and memorable night it was. Saturday, 8th August 2009 - The Reunion Night.

The organising team were at the Vanda Restaurant as early as 6.30pm, welcoming ex-students as they came..little by little they came...then roars of laughter, hand shakes, hugs..28 years ago we were little boys and girls.

Teachers and ex-students greeted each other - most have changed, more "experienced' and "wiser"...only a few have "maintained their looks".. ;)

Roars and laughter, chit chats...never ending, even getting louder every second.

Starting the event...getting everyone seated..what a challenge..haha..all so so excited to meet each other after many many long years.

We started off with the recital of the Surah Al-Fatihah, led by our schoolmate, Imam Ahmeddani. We offer the Al-Fatihah to our friends and teachers who had passed away, may they be Blessed. Imam Ahmeddani then read the "doa kesyukuran".

Then The Safety Briefing...apparently it was the Banquet Manager's first time to do such a briefing...he did OK. It was my job to make sure everyone is safe all through the function - safety...top priority always!!

We were also fortunate to have had Dato Hj Jalil Abd Rahman, Datin Hjh Noriah's husband, at the dinner. He was the first principal of the Science School, way back in 1970 when it was called Sekolah Menegah Jalan Muara. I asked him to tell us a brief history of the school to which he agreed and spent a few minutes telling us of his experience and the history of the school! It was interesting of how the school developed to what it has become now..

Dato Hj Jalil talking about how the school was

The nostalgic slide show got us in laughter as we saw old photos...and nostalgic 80s music.

Congrats lucky winners!

Congatulations to the lucky draw winners!! Very nice prizes...well done! Buttt...before the lucky one were given their prizes...they were asked questions..Science, Maths, Geog, Bahasa Melayu, Ugama..and with Basiron's help, he asked some awkwards questions reminiscing some questions in class years back...ermmm "How do you pronounce appropriate?" hahaha...cruel Ron!

Form 1A

Form 1B

Form 1C

Form 1D

Form 1E

The night went by, more talk, more chit chat...the night wasn't enough. The waiters and waitresses, were eager to go home, we weren't..haha.

Boys will be boys...

In total 50 ex-students and 8 teachers turned up! and with their accompanying spouses and children - there were 74 altogether.

Around 11.30ish, we all finally said goodby...BUT it is only the start! Watch this space...more to come!

Wassalamualaikum & see you all soon!

UPDATE #5

Hi everyone,

Current updated confirmed attending, as at today 5th August 2009, is 54 ex-students, 9 teachers & 9 spouses. This totals to 72 people!

We're really, really happy with this grand response, and indeed will be expecting quite a roar during the event with all of us chatting and reminiscing the good old times at school, and catching up with what each of us are up to now.

If anyone has any old photos or other school memorabilia, please bring them along.

With this opportunity, I'd like to thank our friends who had been helping out in making the event happen - on top of their day jobs..

A BIG thanks to Shane, Catherine, Christina, Basiron, Rozy and Dk.A'zlehashimah.

See you all there!!

Wassalam

UPDATE #4

Everyone

Thank you very much for your responses, and for those who have confirmed their attendance. W ehave now 58 confirmed attendees, including 5 of our ex-teachers. See the list of names on the right-hand side.

We are expecting a few more to come, which would make it even more merrier!

On the day of our reunion dinner, there is also another function being held at one of the hotel's function rooms. A suggestion is that you come earlier, say 7.15 pm so that you can park closer to the hotel. Need not to worry though, ample parking space, but you may have to walk a fair bit.

All are prepared, and we're just waiting for that special night of getting together once again.

See you all then.

Wassalam
