A FAREWELL LUNCH FOR A RETIRING COLLEAGUE

A farewell lunch was specially organized for Puan Siti Mahani Adnin on her last day of service as a teacher. She is holding the post of Penolong Kanan Hal Ehwal Murid [TRANSLATE: Senior Assistant of Students' Affair] at SMK Dato' Jaafar, Johor Bahru and will start her days as a retiree starting tomorrow. I was invited to join the party and I would say "no" when it involves eating and mingling with friends.

The venue chosen was Selasih Cafe at Persada Johor.

I actually knew Puan Siti Mahani much earlier, before she was transferred to SDJ. I was on duty for District Level Chess Competition at SMK Sultanah Engku Tun Aminah [SETA] and she was a teacher in charge of chess there. At the same time, her daughter was selected to represent the district to play at state level and I was one of the officers to accompany the players [according to Puan Siti Mahani].

Congratulations Puan Siti Mahani on the completion of the teaching service right to the end, at the age of 60. May you enjoy your stress free life after this.
