THE SMART SOLAH CAMP WITH TEENAGERS

Another programme organized by Johor Bahru's Pasukan Kebajikan Kanak-kanak Unit [TRANSLATE: Children's Welfare Team] of Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat [TRANSLATE: Welfare Department] at Asmaul Husna Mosque located in Bandae Uda Utama.

The target group of the camp was a group of teenagers and they were taught again the essential basics of cleansing oneself as required by the Syariah and the proper way of performing the solah [TRANSLATE: prayer].

The whole session was conducted by an invited speaker with the assistance of three young Imams form the mosque.

It was good to observe these young people were attentive throughout the session and was cooperative during the practical slot. May each and every one of the youngster gain something from the course conducted.

 

ATTENDING THE WEDDING RECEPTION OF AN EX-COLLEAGUE'S DAUGHTER

An ex-colleague of SMK Dato' Jaafar, Puan Radziah Hasan, held the first wedding reception for her daughter, the first event for the family. It was done at Asma'ul Husna Mosque in Bandar Uda Utama.

As expected, I met a few other ex-colleagues as well as teacher friends there.

Congratulations to Puan Radziah on receiving a new member into the family. Hopefully she will not forget to invite me again for other similar events in the future.

ATTENDING THE WEDDING RECEPTION OF PUAN MAHANI'S DAUGHTER

   19TH AUGUST 2023    ~ This time it was not the wedding reception of an ex-student but the daughter of the school's [SMK Dato' Jaafar] Senior Assistant of Students' Affair, Puan Siti Mahani Adnin. The event was held at Asma'ul Husna Mosque at Bandar Uda Utama.

There were many cakes, dessert and other traditional "kuih" being served and I decided not to eat any rice at the event.

There were many familiar faces in the hall - colleagues and teacher friends of other schools and officers of the District/State Education Office.

Congratulations Puan Siti Mahani Adnin on becoming the mother in-law to another son-in-law. Hope I will still be invited for her other children's wedding receptions in the future.

Actually I attended three receptions, the other one was of a cousin's daughter. After three rounds of continuous eating, I am sure I am already fat by now.
