THE FAREWELL LUNCH WITH UPM TESL FRIENDS

   24TH SEPTEMBER 2026    ~ It was only a short staycation trip for ladies of UPM TESL Class of 1993 in Johor Bahru. They stayed only for one night and before going home, we all met again one more time for lunch. The venue this time was Chamek Kopitiam in Taman Universiti.

Fried Rice

Mee Bandung

I had Mee Bandung this time and even though the gravy was not that thick as it should be, the taste was still good. There was not too much food ordered as the girls were still full from their buffet breakfast at the hotel earlier.

Mushroom Soup

Fried Sweet Potato

I met three ex-colleagues of SMK Taman Universiti who were having lunch there before leaving.

Two people were taking the train back to Kuala Lumpur while the other lady took a flight to Ipoh right after. Parting is such sweet sorrow. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant reunion session cum gastronomic adventure in Johor Bahru. Hoping they would stay longer if they decide to visit the city again next time.

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.

THE SECOND FAREWELL GATHERING FOR A RETIRED EX-COLLEAGUE

   15TH DECEMBER 2025    ~ Another party was thrown to bid farewell to Puan Hasliza Abd. Rahman, the Head of the Language Department of SMK Dato' Jaafar who has retired and will be mowing back to Seremban real soon. This time the people involved were the other three Heads of Department who are now in different schools and another one is a retiree, and the school ex-Counselor.

Hopefully this was another memorable event for Puan Hasliza before she leaves for Seremban. May she not forget us here and may we still be connected at least on Facebook.
