BLOGGING FROM TBSBTS

Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah, the plane from Krabi touched down safely at KLIA earlier than scheduled. And here I am at TBSBTS - Terminal Bersepadu Selatan, Bandar Tasik Selatan (centralized bus terminal for southern region, waiting for the bus to Johor Bahru at 1.00 a.m. I have nothing to do so I blog but there is nothing much to blog about. For one thing, I really hate typing, uploading photos and editing on this gadget. Oh how I miss my pc at home.





I had chicken rice for dinner at 9 just now.

I am now thinking of having "roti canai" for my late supper.

This is not good.

There's a group of college students sitting right opposite me. It is time to hone my eavesdropping skill.


They were just boring kids with boring conversation and that bored me to death. *yawn*

BLOGGING FROM AO NANG, KRABI

My 4-day holiday in Ao Nang, Krabi, has almost ended. Only on the very last day did I have the chance to update the news for my blog. I must say the activities during day time were long and at nights, after exploring the streets of Ao Nang, I would sleep early.

just arrived








a few hours before leaving Ao Nang

Do come back for more stories and photos of my short escapade to Krabi.

MOVIE REVIEW - "NON-STOP"


We went to watch this movie because (1) "Captain America" would only be released next week; and (2) There was no other movie to watch. It was a story how an aeroplane was hijacked in mid air and an air marshal had become the hero, saving the lives of the passengers and crew members.

With the present situation that we are facing now and at the same time, with the frequent flying that will be done, this movie is not helping at all. I should have chosen "Mr. Peabody & Sherman". *sigh*

THREE WEDDING RECEPTIONS BACK-TO-BACK

WEDDING #1

Another ex-student from SPM batch 2008 (if I am not wrong), Nurul Azlin, got married today. The reception was done at her house in Taman Universiti.


another colleague, Pn. Radiah Othman, was also there
a very BIG banner










WEDDING #2

The second reception I went to was of the daughter my loyal newspaper man, Mr. Arbain. The reception was held at a community hall in Bandar Tun Hussein Onn.








WEDDING #3

The last wedding reception I attended was of the sister of friends who are husband and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Khir also held Taman Universiti. I actually went there VERY late when all the visitors had left and the cleaning work was in progress. Sometimes, it is better to be late than never.


the last one to arrive




I guess too many receptions in one day is not good for the tummy. I find I could not even write longer entry this time. It must have taken some time to digest all the food. 

One reason everyone is doing the reception on Saturdays is because we are having two weekends here in the state of Johor - either Friday or Sunday, and Saturday is the day when both the government servants and people from the private companies could attend the reception. *sigh*

SPM 2013 RESULT WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY

Thursday, 20th March 2014 ~ I was here three months ago to receive the certificate from the State Education Director when the PMR examination result was announced. I was here again one more time for the SPM examination. It all started quite late, at about 10:30 a.m. but I was already there by 8:00 a.m. Lucky enough, I met a friend who is an ex-college mate from UPM (Universiti Pertanian Malaysia) so the waiting was bearable.









SMK Taman Universiti was awarded with a certificate of excellence for its good result in the SPM examination for school with more than 500 students sitting for the exam. CONGRATULATIONS to all the students and teachers who had done a good job. I guess we have taken the school over-population condition as a challenge rather than a problem.

Unfortunately, I was not able to be with the ex-students in school to share their joy and sorrow. Nevertheless, I heard the school result this year showed some improvement (I suppose, I have not yet seen the result actually) if compared to previous year. Anyway, to all the students from SPM batch 2013, I wish you all the best of luck in the path that you will choose to walk through. This is just a beginning actually for a longer journey ahead.












And here's the list of straight A's [a combination of A+, A and A-]students:
