ATTENDING A WEDDING RECEPTION ON THE 29TH DAY OF EID

Puan Noorfaizah Ghapar Shah, an ex-colleague of SMK Taman Universiti, held a wedding reception for her daughter, the first one for the family. The event was held at Bricks Cafe Hoemstay in Kempas.

The first two people I met were Puan Aliah Hussein whom I visited for Eid three days ago [READ HERE] and Miss Nor Raubiyah Musa.

Then more and more recognizable faces started to appear in the hall, to my delight.

Most of the ex-colleagues I met had already retired and wedding receptions were the places where reunion happened all the time.

Thank you to Puan Noorfaizah for her kind thought of inviting me to the reception. My we see each other again in her other receptions for her children in the future.

THE 19TH DAY OF EID 1447H - PART TWO

   8TH APRIL 2026    ~ A group of ex-colleagues of SMK Dato' Jaafar [of those teaching the Form Six students] came visiting for Eid today.

Puan Radziah Hassan, a retiree, and Mr. Amirul Hakim, who is the Principal of a secondary school nearby, were also present.

They were kind enough to bring some food for the Eid gathering.

It is always a pleasure to welcome friends and hoping that they will all still continue visiting for many more Eid to come.

THE 27TH DAY OF EID 1447H

The next group which arrived for the Eid visit were my ex-colleagues of SMK Dato' Jaafar who are teaching the main stream students [Form 1 - Form 5]. The group that came earlier were friends who are teaching the Form 6 students. [READ HERE] The only person who is now not in the same school is Puan Tan Yuan Yi but it was kind of her to still come over with the others.

They came right after classes were over at 2:40 p.m. The food prepared for them was something like the meal for tea time, Malaysian style.

Thanks to each and everyone who was at my house. There are less people now as many have already moved to other places. Hopefully I will see them again next year and many more years to come.

THERE IS ALWAYS A FIRST TIME AT AHMAD'S

Ahmad's Fried Chicken just started its business at Taman Pulai Mutiara. My gastronomic buddy, Mr. Redzuan, suggested we went there to try the food.

We were there at about 5:00 p.m. and the place was jam packed with diners and people taking away. It must be the excitement of trying the fried chicken at a new restaurant, or it was already pay day for government servants.

THE VERDICT: Mr. Redzuan reported the Beef Burger was the ordinary one. I had fried chicken and my spicy version was too curry-ful. You could already see it from the color of the chicken skin. The food was cheaper than other fast food restaurants I think, and you got the huge glasses for your drinks instead of the regular ones.

I met two ex-students of SMK Taman Universiti in the restaurant. One of them, Miss Rosieyati [forgive me if I got her name wrong] was there with her three children and was kind enough to pay for my meal. Today must be my lucky day.

Once Eid month has ended, I shall then continue with my regular gastronomic adventure.
