ATTENDING THE WEDDING RECEPTION BY THE SEASIDE IN KUANTAN - PART TWO

[CONTINUATION OF PART ONE]

    25th JANUARY 2026    ~ After eating all the delicious food indoor, the members of the UPM TESL Class of 1993 group adjourned to to the open space by the seaside. The beach was the extended stretch of Pantai Balok nearby. The weather was pleasant that afternoon, not too hot and the wind from the sea helped a lot.

The Kopi Saigon coffee kiosk was a hit among the guests. People queued up to get their coffee fix.

Other than enjoying the scenery, we took a lot of photos while waiting for the ultimate group photo with the mother of the bride.

Finally we managed to kidnap Puan Suriana Ali, the host a.k.a the mother of the bride to take one final UPM TESL group photo.

Congratulations to Puan Suriana Ali and family as the family now has grown bigger. Thanks also for inviting us to Kuantan, and hope we will still be invited again for similar events in the future.

We will have to wait for the next wedding reception of somebody's son or daughter to gather again this year.

RETURNING TO KUALA SELANGOR TO ATTEND ANOTHER WEDDING RECEPTION

   23RD AUGUST 2025    ~ I made a return trip to Kuala Selangor to attend another wedding reception. Pusan Nurul Afidah invited me to the wedding reception of her child held at the Ballroom of One Plaza in town. I was in the same exact place last year for the same reason. [READ HERE]

I arrived at the hall before 11:00 a.m. and thought I was the early bird. I was wrong as there were some other earlier birds who were already enjoying the food as I entered the ballroom.

Besides the main buffet table that served Briyani, there were other stations offering other kinds of food and drinks.

The highlight of the day, however, was Kopi Saigon stall. The Cafe that was brought into the event hall to serve coffee to the guests.

I did not meet anyone else that I knew of there so it was just a short dine in session. At the same time, I had someone [who refused to accompany] waiting outside to take me back to Subang Jaya in his car.

Congratulations Puan Wan Nurul Afidah and family on the addition of the new family member. There could be probability I will be coming back to Kuala Selangor for a similar event after this.
