ATTENDING THE WEDDING RECEPTION OF MR MUHD FAIZ YUSOF

    18th JULY 2026    ~ Right after the event in Sanglang, Pontian [READ HERE], I drove homebound to attend another wedding reception in the Community Hall at Taman Pulai Utama. It was the wedding of an ex-student's, Mr. Muhd. Faiz Yusof.

I arrived at about 2:30 p.m. expecting to be one of the latecomers but there were still many guests in the hall.

The food was still aplenty. I was still full from the feast from the previous event, so I just went for the "kuih", cakes and dessert.

There were some ex-students who were also present and I met one ex-colleague with her husband.

Thanks Mr. Faiz for your kind thought of inviting me to your reception. Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, happiness and countless beautiful memories. May your journey together be blessed every step of the way.

ATTENDING THE WEDDING RECEPTION OF PUAN YUSIDAH'S TWO CHILDREN

A wedding reception today was held for two pairs of brides and grooms who are the children of Puan Yusidah Mohd. Yusof, an ex-colleague of SMK Taman Universiti. Both the siblings, Miss Najwa and Mr. Zikri, are also the ex-students of the same school, as well as the wife of Mr. Zikri.

Two friends were leaving as I arrived

The event was held at the Community Hall in Taman Pulai Utama.

I arrived at the hall after 2:00 p.m. and the place was not that crowded anymore. Still, I got to meet many ex-students and ex-colleagues there.

There were still reunions happening outside the hall as I was leaving the place.

the parents and the youngest son

Congratulations to the parents and the newly wedded couples. Technically there is one more similar event for the family and hopefully I will still be invited.

I think this would be the last reception before the arrival of the fasting month of Ramadhan. I will then take a short break from eating too much at such event, at least for a few weeks.

VISITING AN EX-STUDENT WHO IS NOT WELL AT HOME

   10TH FEBRUARY 2025    ~ I was asked by Mr. Aziz Omar whether I would be interested to visit his ex-schoolmate, which should be my ex-student [of SMK Taman Universiti], who was at his parents' place in Taman Pulai Utama. I got to know about the health condition of Mr. Anas Omar from his sister's post on Facebook when he was in Shah Alam a few weeks ago.

Since he was here in Johor Bahru, that should be the best time to pay him a visit. He was in the middle of a massage therapy session when I arrived. I was glad that he looked healthy and recuperating, and was already mobile, even though the movements were still limited. He had made a lot of positive progress after these three weeks.

We had to excuse ourselves as it was already getting late [almost 10:00 p.m.] Hope Mr. Anas Omar will get well real soon and we could go out for coffee when I see him next time.

ATTENDING THREE WEDDING RECEPTIONS IN ONE DAY - PART TWO

[CONTINUATION OF PART 1]

   WEDDING #2   

   6TH JULY 2024    ~ The wedding reception of the son of Mr. Mohd. Nurji bin Zaini, an ex-colleague of SMK Mutiara Rini. His son, Mr. Fahmi Nurji, the groom's youngest brother, is an ex-student of SMK Taman Universiti,

The reception was done at the Community Hall at Taman Pulai Utama.

I met many ex-students and ex-colleagues of SMK Taman Universiti there.

There was also an ex-colleague of SMK Dato' Jaafar with her other family members.

I sat at the same table with someone who happened to be the father-in-law of my neighbour's child.

   WEDDING #3   

The last wedding reception of the day was held at KPIP Hall at Taman Universiti. It was the wedding reception of Ms. Zainab Abd. Mobin. She is an ex-student of SMK Taman Universiti and it is interesting as her other 8 siblings attended the same school. In addition, her brother-in-law is also the alumnus of the school.

There was a reunion of TEN ex-students on the bridal stage that afternoon which rarely happened.

Three receptions in one afternoon had surely made me fatter. At the same time, I got to see a lot of people from school in one day, and that made me happier.
