ATTENDING MR. IZZUDDIN RAHMAN'S WEDDING RECEPTION

I was at V8 Hotel, Johor Bahru, attending another wedding reception of the son of Ustazah Raja Ainurraziyah, an ex-colleague of SMK Taman Universiti, Johor Bahru. The husband, Mr. Abdul Rahman Ngah, who is also a teacher and a senior assistant, is no stranger to me. Four out of the five children attended SMKTUN too.

As usual, wedding reception is the venue for small reunion to happen. Even though I was actually late, arriving there at about 3.00 p.m., there were still some friends I managed to see.

The one who just got married was Mr. Izzuddin Abd. Rahman who were in SMKTUN before he went away to his father's school when he was in form three, if I am not mistaken.

I was glad to see old friends and ex-students too once in a while. I should thank the parents of the grooms for the invitation.

MEETING AN OLD FRIEND FROM COLLEGE

19th September 2016 ~ Puan Nurhanim Hassan is in town. She is a friend from UPM TESL batch 1993 and the last time I met her was in 2010 in Leeds, when she was studying there. She, who is now lecturing in Taylor's University, is participating in an event/exhibition/a competition held in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai. I took the chance to meet her at the hotel where she and her students are now staying as I am afraid I might not be able to see her before she goes back to Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday. It was just a short chit-chat session but I am always happy to see an old friend once in a blue moon. We definitely need more time to gossip so hopefully we will be seeing each other again some other time in the future.
