REUNION HAPPENS ALL THE TIME

After attending two wedding receptions in Kuala Lumpur, I requested my friend who gave me a lift to the two events to just drop me at Kuala Lumpur City Centre [KLCC]. I first went for a short walk at the KLCC Park so as to ease the digestion process after eating too much.

Then I decided to go to the place I loved at Suria KLCC: Kinokuniya Bookstore. As I was browsing the books on the shelves, the lady standing beside me said "Hi" and that was the biggest surprise that took place. She was Puan Aida Ahmad Saipiuddin, my UPM TESL Class of 1993 friend.

 

We then adjourned to the Cafe just beside the bookstore to continue our chat.

Unfortunately I couldn't stay for too long as I had a flight to catch right after. So we said our goodbyes after chatting for less than half an hour. Thanks Puan Aida for the time and the treat as well. Hope to see you again, maybe in a bigger group or during someone else's child's wedding reception. That was an impromptu reunion to be remembered.

MY KL GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - ASEANA CAFE KLCC

24th AUGUST 2018 ~ Another rendezvous was set in Kuala Lumpur city and this time it was with two ex-schoolmates of SMS Muar class of 1986. We were the best of friends when we were in school - sharing all the sorrows and things we detested when we were there.

We did not have lunch there, instead we tried something more local/traditional but was super expensive. We decided to go somewhere else for lunch as I thought this was just too much for me, even though everything was paid for. But the most important thing, we still had more things to talk about as this gathering would only happen (may be) once or twice in a life time.

NEXT MISSION: to go on the aerobridge at KLCC.

A SHORT TRIP TO KL

I went to the same place in KL for the final stage of the official task. But when everything was over, it was time to let the steam off. In the evening, I managed to watch a movie and get a bagful of novels (which were actually three of them) from Kinokuniya in KLCC.

On the second day, in the morning, I walked to Sogo (again) which was a stone's throw away from the hotel. In the afternoon, I went to Midvalley Megamall with Mr. Asrol to watch another movie and this had been planned much earlier, like two weeks before. That was all the time that I had in KL but I was a contented man after all the one month of hard work.

So, happy holidays to all my students and my colleagues, as well as other students and teachers out there. Enjoy yourself while you can. There are no holidays for me actually, but I will always try to squeeze in some fun in between work.
