Meaningful Syawal...

Salam to all....

Today is the last day of Syawal; a month of giving away charities/donations for those who need, sharing and exchange food, visiting families and friends (or..looking around what are the new furniture and items in their houses.. keh!keh!).. even a time where the so called "silent war" occured for those who are married on the eve or 1st day of Syawal.

Here're some Raya photos rcvd from some of you... (these are not this year's photos.. but tak apa kan); from top.. my family and in-laws, below.. Azie's family (tembam betul pipi.. mesti terlebih soda bikarbonat), Mary & her 2 heros, and Yati & family (this is really an old photos coz now she is slimmer and additional of 1 more son).

As for myself, for the past weeks it was so hectic and stressfull as too many open houses that we (myself and family) had to attend.. gossshh!! Anyway, talking about open house I guess only Mary had hers.. and personally I feel so touched that your guests are the orphanages. Alhamdulillah.. Anyway, my apologize as I was not attending yours coz I did not receive your mail.

Okay.. we will soon have our 'casual' 2nd gathering. But before I do that, let me announcing some good news of our friend.. Cikgu ATIKAH KABOL.

Atikah is getting married on this coming 29 Nov 2008 to her soulmate; Hussein Hj Jamil. Her wedding shall be held at her hometown, Tg Karang.

Venue: Lot 1369, Jalan Tiram Jaya, Kg Sg Gulang-gulang, 45500 Tg Karang, Selangor.

I believe that some of us have rcvd her invitation and even to few may not receive it yet... anyway, bersabar kay. It is on the way....Worst to worst, if you gals still have not receive it yet from her you can have the attached map. So I hope to see everyone on her big day.

Together with her invitation card she is also promoting attraction places for our personal day out; Bukit Melawati, watching fireflies or dining at seafoods. I've been Tg Karang many times so to add on Atika's promotion, here in this "cowboy" town you can find the biggest satay (even Samuri's pun kalah). Location of the restaurant is next to bus station after Pasir Penambang. You will find long queues in this rest., but it is worth it to wait coz the size and taste... fullamakkk! So be there in the evening; around 5-6pm, to avoid the queue. To stay overnite, there are motels/hotels and if you want free accommodation we have Saniah's Hotel & Lodging.. kah!kah!kah!

Oh yes.. bawak hadiah yang besau-besau yee sebab you all pun dah besau-besau, kerja besau, kereta besau dan.. gaji pun besau.

I am looking forward for this time gathering.. see you then!

Also a few days after our blog was up, Ina called me all the way from Berkshire, UK (note: thank you my dear!! Appreciate your precious advice). She is happy with her bz life (surrounding by her adorable children) and her new role of being "Home Minister" for Izak's family. Below are her photos and her children; this is not latest photos coz I got these before we had our 1st gathering.

Are you gals still remember Yang Elina Shahnaz; tall and short hair with spec.? Still tak boleh ingat?? Okay.. she was from CBN? Remember??? I managed to get in touch when I received her mail with leaving her mobile no. She is now working in Puchong and live in Rawang. I will forward to you our latest contact no to you soon and if you have changed tel no etc, pls drop me a message.

You are most welcome to be part of the editor for this blog; to update latest gossips, photos, business/career opportunities (esp. for me.. will be jobless by June '09 onwards). Get the password from me.. okay.

Till then.. cheers and wassalam..

GATHERING 1, May 01 '08, at MARCHE, The Curve

Salam...

For the past 15 years, we had finally met and gathered on the last labour day, 01 May 2008, at MARCHE, The Curve.

The followings ex-ATPN '89 came for the get-together lunch;

CBN - AZIE & AZMAH.. the only one!

BBGS - IJA, NORLIE, ANI, PUTEH MELOR & YO

SRI AMAN - NINIE, MARYAM & SHEILA

ASSUNTA - IPAH, YATIE, MARY, YENREH, ATIKAH, SURI, BAHAI, CHA'A, SANIAH , INTAN & myself.. HAWA.

Here are the photos taken on that day.. thanks to our dear Norlie.. (Note: Actually, there were more than 1 camera but I can't recall all. Anyway, if you have some other photos from those in this blog, forward it to me so that we can share with others..)

Together with us for the lunch, some of us brought their families; lovely mom, charming husbands and adorable children, and of course being single for the whole day (wish that I could do that!! perhaps, for the next gathering).

We started with Al-Fatihah for our late jr, Allahyarmah NurZaimirawati Ramli, who had passed away somewhere in February this year. For those who can't recall her, Zai was one of the BBGS and Kak Intan's younger sis... timid and smart girl.

Then, we had a slides presentation of our old photos (Thanks to Yati and Ipah for borrowing their old albums.. sampai laa ni pun masih belum pulangkan..). We had so much fun and filled our time with catching up ourselves stories, personal updates, gossips (it is a must..), bla..bla..etc..etc. Just see how were we on that day....

remember these faces.. asal pagi minggu, mesti dia dok jerit dari bawah.. "Turun!Turun! PE!"

Dr. Ija, Ninie, Dr. Maryam (came with her children) and Bahai

See below 2 images... can you see the differences? Guess... Yes! You can see Yati on the first image but not in another image, same goes to Norlie and Sheila...mcm cookies; sekejap ada sekejap ada. Cuba recall sikit.. (mcm buah yang hilang kat dewan makan.. yea tak?)

At the end of the day, we had birthday celebration of Yenreh's son, Mohd Hazeeq, who turned to 2 years.

For those who were not able to join us; Yana, Zana, Ecah (congrats for your new baby), Harlina, Zue, Arminah, Ida and Ina (always in our heart...), don't worry coz there will be more to come. To Ina, whenever you are back here drop us a message we shall try to arrange one for you.

Till then... cheers.
