OFFICIALLY BIDDING FAREWELL TO TWO [MALE] COLLEAGUES

25TH FEBRUARY 2022 ~ Two male colleagues of SMK Dato' Jaafar are moving away to other schools for the coming new school session in March. It is customary for us to throw away a farewell gathering so as to say our goodbyes officially. The eating place chosen was Kapten Steamboat & Grill but a few could not make it this time as the school break had already started.

Wishing Mr. Mohd. Mustaza Lamli and Mr. Mohd. Asraf Suhami the very best of luck in their new schools and hope we will still keep in touch after this. Once a Jaafarian, always a Jaafarian.

JOHOR BAHRU'S CHESS TEACHER'S [ANNUAL] BARBECUE DINNER GATHERING

my starter

15th SEPTEMBER 2019 ~ A group of teachers (and family members) who are actively involved with the Johor Bahru Chess Team and Tanjung Puteri Chess Clun gathered for a barbecue dinner at Kapten Steamboat this evening. A few group members were not able to make it this time though.

A lot of chatting and drilling/barbecuing/boiling, and eating - all happening at the same time.

We had to stop when we felt that the tummies could not take any food anymore. And the restaurant staff were already seen busy clearing up the place.

We seldom have the time to meet up and get updated so this could be one moment when almost everybody could sit together. To be able to do this once in a year is actually already an achievement. Thanks everybody for coming and thanks to the person who paid for the dinner. Till we see each oher again in the next chess competition.

A SPECIAL FAREWELL GATHERING FOR THE RETIRING TUAN HAJI MOHD. SABRI

17TH NOVEMBER 2016 ~ Some friends, the male teachers and staff, from my recent school SMKTUN, decided to throw a special gathering for the retiring Mr. Mohd. Sabri this evening. The get together was held at Kapten Steamboat & Grill Johor Bahru.

Actually many people from this group had already met the day before at almost the same time for dinner. However, when it came to good food with the company of friends, we were all happy to find excuses to be present.

There will be more gathering and eating sessions that I have to attend this week and the week after next.

Is there any gym which offers aerobics for men in Johor Bahru area?

A FAREWELL GATHERING AT KAPTEN STEAMBOAT, FOR ME

9th October ~ It was another farewell get together for me. Initially, like what we had been done before, it was supposed to be attended only by all male friends but there were still five ladies in the party but I was not complaining. The more, the merrier. 

They chose to meet at "Kapten Steamboat" and many had taken the trouble to get to the chosen venue right after the school's "Solat Hajat" event that was carried out at the mosque at Taman Universiti.

just a coincidence

There was a cake that was given by another group of friends. 

By 11:00 p.m. everybody had eaten whatever they could eat and it was time for me to be parted once again from my friends. 

All I could say is: Thank you everybody for the time, food, company and most importantly for everything.

sound health; the value of it

is seldom known until it

is lost."
