THE 12TH DAY OF EID 1445H

Two people who came visiting this evening came all the way from Bangi, Selangor. They were Puan Wan Noorziah, an ex-colleague of SMK Taman Universiti [1997-2003] and her husband, Mr. Zakaria, an ex-teacher of SMK Tanjung Adang of the same period.

The last time we met was at a wedding reception in Kajang a few years ago, but just had the chance to say "hi" and "bye". One hour of Eid meeting was definitely not enough so we hoped to see each other again some other time.

Thanks Kak Wan and Abang Zack for coming. It was an honour to be visited.

JUDGING A PUBLIC SPEAKING COMPETITION

SATURDAY, 27th April ~ My name was suddenly in the list as one of the judges for district level Public Speaking Competition. The event was held in SMK Tanjung Adang, Johor Bahru - 40 kilometres away from home.

I also managed to meet two old friends who are now teaching at SMK Tanjung Adang. Pn Zaharah is now the Head of Department while Puan Hajah Fatimah Hadi is now the Principal.

Everything went well and I actually had enjoyed myself observing and evaluating the contestants from the chair of an adjudicator. But still, I don't mind if someone else is willing to take over that place next year.
