A SHORT LUNCH DATE WITH AN EX-SCHOOLMATE

Once in a blue moon, an old friend from school would contact you for a short meeting. Mr. Razib just came back for Qatar for his one week break. Despite his tight schedule, we managed to meet up for a late Briyani lunch at Shahab Restaurant in Taman Universiti.

That was one of the shortest chit-chat session we had ever had but hopefully we could have a longer session when comes back some other time in the future.

ATTENDING PUAN HJH NILAM'S DAUGHTER'S WEDDING RECEPTION

Puan Hjh Nilam Othman, the 5th ex-Principal of SMK Taman Universiti, threw another wedding reception for her daughter. The ceremony was done at her house in Taman Suria which nearby my home so there was no reason not to attend. As usual met a group of friends there but we could not stay that long as people would have to clean up that place soon after that. 

Thanks Bonda Nilam for the invitation. I think there will be more invitation from the family in the future.

AND SIX MONTHS LATER...

When I thought everything was already forgotten, suddenly I was presented with a farewell gift from "Badan Dakwah" [read: Outreach Unit] by Ustazah Zaiti Ismail today. It has been almost six months already since I left SMK Taman Universiti but the heart is still there, I must say.

Thanks a lot to the people in "Badan Dakwah". Your kindness is very much appreciated.

KOMTAR JOHOR BAHRU EXTREME MAKEOVER - PART TWO

The latest attraction in town is Angry Birds Activity Park which is located on the top floor of KOMTAR Johor Bahru. The entry fee for an adult is RM60, a sum which I am not willing to pay. Hopefully I could get hold of a free ticket one day to see what is this place has to offer. It is a nice place to pose as there are gargantuan posters of angry birds everywhere that should me make happy already. This should be a good place for small kids to spend the time and another option for parents to get the kids amused and occupied for a long time.

bumping into a friend, Puan Ruhaidah and her family

This is another section of the KOMTAR mall on the ground floor.

I have seen what I should be seeing and I am ready to take any friends coming to visit Johor Bahru in the future. Now I sound like a travel agent already.
