MEETING AN EX-STUDENT AGAIN - AFTER 5 YEARS

Once in a blue moon, I would get lucky when an ex-student contacted and asked me out for a meal outside. I was meeting Mr. Binosh, an alumni of SMK Taman Universiti SPM batch 2002, at KFC KOMTAR a.k.a JBCC now, after 5 long years. The last time we met was when he visited me at home during Eid celebration. I was really happy that he had no intention of asking me to join any MLM activity or buy any health insurance. 

It was just a short meeting as the restaurant staff were eagerly waiting to end their sales. We were their last customers of the day.

Thanks Mr. Binosh for your time and also for the treat, and your kind gesture is very much appreciated. We will have to find a better time slot so we could sit and chat longer.

MY HOMETOWN GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE: 4FINGERS AT JBCC

This was a gathering that had been long overdue. It was not easy to get everyone to sit together and chat nowadays as our working hour schedules have not been as regular as they used to be. However, today there were more people who joined in which means there will be more fat people in the world soon.

I arrived late as the training workshop I was attending in SMK Medini finished real late. We planned to meet up at 4fingers in KOMTAR a.k.a JBCC at 3.30 p.m. but my session only ended at almost 5.00 p.m. I did not know I could drive from the school to the city centre just in 15 minutes, but finding a parking space at the mall seemed to take more of my time. Consequently, I missed all the juicy gossips and also the fun eating the Korean food at 4FINGERS Restaurant for the first time. And we could not stay longer as everyone really had to rush back home.

happiness abound

The surrendering of the belated birthday presents had also been performed to the birthday girl, and me. It is always better late than never.

uncontrollable excitement 

gratification

my dream came true

I did not take any photo of the food as I was either too hungry I gobbled up almost everything that was not eaten yet. I took home my chicken burger so as not to let my friends wait for me to finish my food and ate my burger at home. So how was it? The chicken patty was very Korean, sweet and spicy, and crispy too. Will I come back again to 4fingers? Why not?

Thanks so much to all my friends: Pn.Mazzelina and En. Khir, Pn. Rumaiah, Pn. Rashida and Pn. Ida Amiza - for the food, the birthday presents and the company. We shall meet again some other time, with or without any birthday celebration.

WHEN TWO (OLD) FRIENDS ARE IN TOWN - PART 2

So the guide - (blindly) - leads - the tourists session continued today as planned. As the two friends just had had lunch at the hotel, so I had to take them somewhere first but actually had no idea of a place go to. So we ended up in KOMTAR which is now known as KOMTAR JBCC. At least we had to do some walking around the mall before having our tea.

As usual, to conclude the tour of the day, we stopped at Kacang Pool Haji, which should provide them with authentic Johor cuisine.

So that was the 2-day get-together session with my two friends from UPM TESL group. Hope to see them again some other time in the near future - for more food and gossips. Surprisingly we did not gossip much this time, I wonder why.
