ATTENDING THE WEDDING RECEPTION OF THE DAUGHTER OF PUAN NOORAZLIN BAHARIN

    16TH AUGUST 2026    ~ I had not met Puan Noorazlin Baharin, a friend of UPM TESL Class of 1993 since we left campus. Then, after more than 30 years, I was invited to the wedding of her daughter, the first in the family.

The event was held at Setia Eco Templer in Templer Park, Rawang.

RAMADA MERIDIN REVISITED FOR LUNCH

My gastronomic adventure buddy and I decided to revisit Ramada Meridin Hotel in Kota Iskandar for lunch. This month, Delish Cafe was offering Thai themed set meal for RM29.90 which comprised of the main dish, Tom Yum as soup of the day, free drinks of one's choice [there were 4 types of drinks] and fruits platter for dessert.

We were the only two diners at 2:30 p.m. so we got our food served on the table in no time.

Tom Yum Soup

Thai Green Curry

Sea Food Tom Yum + Satay

Unfortunately, I did not enjoy my Thai Green Curry - perhaps I was not that familiar with the taste. I should have chosen other menu. Still, the set meal was worth the money spent. I will have to wait for another promotional lunch set for next month.

ATTENDING THE THIRD WEDDING RECEPTION OF PUAN MASLINDA'S FAMILY

  14th AUGUST 2026    ~ Puan Maslinda Mohd. Dahalan, a friend of UPM TESL Class of 1993, threw the third reception for her third child this time. The event was held at Putra Glass Hall, Kampung Bukit Lanchung in Putra Heights.

The event started at 6:30 p.m. Puan Christina Chan was kind enough to give me a lift from Subang Jaya, together with Puan Lee Swee Ying and Puan Christina's two sons. We were among the early birds who turned up.

As expected, a mini reunion of the UPM TESL clan took place.

Other than trying all the food offered to the guests, we took as many photos as possible.

I also met other non-TESL friends at the reception. The first one was an ex-classmate/schoolmate of SM Sultan Ismail, Johor Bahru, Mr. Shahrir Yusof.

The second one was Mr. Abdul Razak Sapian, an ex-classmate/schoolmate of SMS Muar. They were both connected to the father of the bride.

This time I got to meet people whom I had never seen since graduation, and hoping to see them again in similar events in the future.

Congratulations to Puan Maslinda on the arrival of the new family member. I not only watched her three children grew up, but also attended all their wedding receptions. And that made me feel old.

This was not the end of the socializing session of the week. There was another reception to be attended in Kuala Lumpur the next two days [READ HERE].
