A FAREWELL GATHERING FOR RETIRING MR. SHAHBUDIN YUSOFF

A farewell gathering was held for the retiring Mr. Shahbudin Yusoff, the Principal of SMK Kangkar Pulai at Mak Jah Cafe, UTM. The small event was attended by teachers from SMK Pulai Perdana and SMK Taman Universiti.

Mr. Shahbudin was one of the teachers in Taman Universiti for quite some time before he was promoted to become a principal in Segamat (if I am not wrong). Then, he was sent to SMK Kangkar Pulai and ended his teaching service there.

Mr. Shahbudin was my teacher in SMS Muar back in the 80's.

We wish Mr. Shahbudin a happy retirement days ahead and may he stay healthy and happy as always.

ANNUAL LUNCH FOR KAA CLASSES

The KAA students (form 1 - form 4)[translate: special religious classes] held their annual lunch (I don't think I could call it a party) at Mak Jah Cafe in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. I had been there a few times before so I knew the food should be good.

It was rather a simple event which was good. It started with a "tazkirah", then a short speech by the Senior Assistant 1 and finally everybody was allowed to eat. They also had a lucky draw session at the end.

Thanks to the KAA teachers for inviting. I seldom say "No" when it involves eating, if the time permits.

THE SCHOOL ANNUAL LUNCH 2011

Another annual event for the school was held today at Mak Jah Cafe located at UTM. As the school holiday has already started, quite a number of people were not there. That was actually a blessing in disguise as the restaurant was quite small and would not be suitable enough to accommodate to many people at the same time.








The event started quite early, at 10:00 a.m. so it ended much, much earlier. As usual I was the unlucky one in the lucky draw session and the worst of all, I had to sit at the VIP table so I could not move around to socialize and take pictures. That would explain the limited number of photos posted in the blog. Congratulations to all the KEBIRUS [Kelab Bilik Guru and Staff - translate: Teachers and Staff Club] for organizing this event and to everybody who was present. We should start thinking who will be the next chairman for the club next year.

PREFECTS' YEAR END HI-TEA

I was invited to another event which involved eating delicious food in a large portion. There was the determination to watch out for my diet but the spirit was not strong enough to fight the temptation. The chosen venue was Mak Jah Cafe at Rumah Alumni, UTM.

The hi-tea was organized in a way to bid farewell to the senior prefects who will be leaving school and also to say thank you to the prefects' hard work in maintaining the school's discipline well being.

The place was quite small for a large number of (noisy) people but the food was very good. So there was not much to complain. The event started at 5:00 so I could not wait longer but still managed to capture some happy moments with the students. Thanks for inviting and thanks for the assistance given in school.
