OF A REUNION DINNER AND A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

    23rd SEPTEMBER 2026    ~ After the first meeting during tea time [READ HERE], we were ready to meet up for a more serious meal. Dinner session took place at Zaituna Restaurant and we had Arabic food this time. 

This time, another UPM TESL [Class of 1993] had already arrived from Ipoh. [She flew all the way to get here].

The last time I was at this restaurant was in March 2024 [READ HERE]. The place was empty when I arrived before 8:15 p.m. but the dining area was filled up after 9:00.

It was at first a reunion dinner but then there was a surprise at the end of it. We had a one day belated celebration for one of the girls. I managed to get the joyous occasion recorded on my phone.

This was a rare moment for us to get together - 2 people from Kuala Lumpur/Selangor, 2 from Johor Bahru and 1 from Ipoh. We had to excuse ourselves as it was already past 10:00 p.m. but the ladies had booked an accommodation for a slumber party past midnight. We planned to meet again the next day for lunch before they left Johor Bahru [READ HERE].
