THE FAREWELL SCRAP BOOK FROM THE YEAR 2014

The scrap book was produced my students of SMK Taman Universiti whom I taught them English when they were in Form 1 and 2. It was a farewell gift when I was transferred to another school.

Only now I had the time to upload the pages of the book to be documented. I have lost contact with everybody from this batch. I wonder how they are doing now.

CELEBRATING A FRIEND'S BIRTHDAY AT COFFEE BEAN & TEA LEAF

I managed to get Mr. Shafiq Jaafar, an ex-colleague of SMK Dato' Jaafar, to go out of school during lunch hour on his birthday. I specifically chose Plaza Pelangi as the venue was near to his working place.

We had Oglio Olio and Tuna Sandwich at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. REASON: Only these two items in the menu were available at that time. Thank God, they were good.

It was only a short dine in session as he had to rush back to school. Wishing Mr. Shafiq a great birthday and thanks for being THE Mr. Handyman who is always willing to help when there is any emergency that requires repair or mechanical-related problem solving issues.

THE GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE WITH KL PEOPLE AT SELERA JOHOR

   12th APRIL 2026    ~ Before Puan Adila Ahmad and her daughters left Johor Bahru, I took them to Selera Johor for breakfast. The place was chosen as there were many food choices, and a few of them were synonymous to Johor state.

For breakfast, on the table, we had Laksa Johor, Sup Tulang Merah, Roti Canai, Nasi Lemak, Cekodok Pisang and Kacang Pool Haji.

A bowl of ABC [Air Batu Campur] was ordered to conclude the gastronomic adventure of the day in Johor Bahru.

It was then time to send them to JB Sentral as they had a train to catch at 12:45 p.m. to take them back to Kuala Lumpur. Hopefully they will come back one day to try more food here that they have not tasted.

22ND DAY OF EID 1447H - PART TWO

   11TH APRIL 2026    ~ A series of Eid gathering took place on the 22nd day of Eid ul-Fitr. After entertaining a group of two people in the morning [READ HERE], it was then my turn to go out for Eid house visit. The first one was at Taman Sri Pulai, at the home of Miss Ezatul Hanim Yahya, and at the same time, her other schoolmates of SMK Taman Universiti [of 1999 SPM batch] gathered at the same time.

The next one was an open house event in Taman Universiti, at the home of Dr. Harith Ismail. I met two other ex-students there, his younger sister and her husband. They all attended the same school, SMK Taman Universiti, as well.

The last open house was also at the house of ex-students of SMK Taman Universiti. By the time I arrived, I was not able to eat much so I just settled for the dessert and coffee.

Other than Mr. Hafizuddin and his sister and younger brother, I also met another ex-student, Miss Valerie.

Other than the non-stop eating activities, Eid also brought people back together and this sometimes only happened once a year, or even once in many years.
