Our Schools are So Different...

Spent last weekend to visit mom..Well that weekend was different as I had a mission to track more ex schoolmates to join the gathering. I got few alternatives such as knocking their parents' door and asked for their contact number or just hang around the place 'org PD' always go on Saturday.."Pasar Malam Batu 4". It worked - I met Mikail's brother at one of the stalls. Well he gave me Mikail's contact number. Lucky me..after few minutes, I saw Baduriah Hamzah...I recognized her as she has not changed at all.

On Sunday, as promised I went to visit Ishamawarti, who came back for the school holidays. We discussed about the gathering and who else is missing from our list. Guess what...we looked at the school pictures and we had a good laugh and Isha asked me if we should scan and post them on the website..haha definitely no...I bet you wouldn't want to see them too. Well....as to refresh your memory I still provide some pictures, not the old pictures but the current pictures of our schools.

SDASA


The signboard to our school, right after the traffic light of Jalan Pantai.











A brand new school entrance. It only exists after we left the school..but it's cool..





















Our Science labs - bio, physics and chem







Last but not least our school hall where
we had our last battle before we officially left the school.








SMR Sirusa


The school was renamed to SMK Bukit Saujana..hmm..we miss the old school..

More Challenges to Come....

I have a good laugh today. I don't blame if everyone lost contact with each other because one of the twins* from our school claimed that he lost contact with his brother who currently works in Singapore. Managed to talk to Ho Wong Wai and tried to get hold of his twin brother, Ho Yong Kin, but he said he's not sure and has to ask his parents when he goes back to PD this weekend. In a way, he has also totally lost contact with his cousin, Ho Swee Cheng...Can anyone help then??

Yesterday, I managed to send an email to Norazam Jamil who is currently attached to Qatar Petroleum. Got his contact number from Irfan. Irfan, a one year junior, did not attend our school but we agreed to adopt him as part of our schoolmates as sometimes we'd treated him like a twin brother to Hozir.

Today, I'm quite happy to see our list of friends. I got 50 people in the list with 40% still MIA and we hope to add more to the list..This weekend I'm going to see Aziz Ibrahim's mom, Norsiah Sukardy's cousin to find out where they are.

May be next week we'll move to the next challenge which to confirm the date of gathering: Raya ke 2 or Raya.....

* The twins in our school - Ho Yong Wai & Ho Yong Kin + Khaizatul Zaida & Khaizatul Zaika.

"Jejak Kasih" Time..

We managed to bring in few people in a forum and from there we built up our contact list.

Many friends are still missing but I strongly believe, we will get people together before the gathering..

Looking for:

i) Amiruddin Ayob
ii) Aziz Ibrahim
iii) Hozir Irawan Yahya
iv) Ho Swee Cheng
v) Ho Yong Kin
vi) Mikail Mat Aris
vii) Norazam Jamil
viii) Suresh Michael
ix) Norsiah Sukardy
x) Rozana Ibrahim
xi) Teh Wei Chin
xii) Teh Thian Chai
xiii) Siva Shankaran

and many more.....

We will share the directory once it's 50% completed.

It's a great pleasure to hear from Teoh Cy Kuan and Pang Chear Loong..also managed to get Ho Yong Wai's contact number and that means we'll be able to track Ho Yong Kin, his twin and Ho Swee Cheng, his cousin. It's getting more exciting!!

really miss you guys!

Plan for Gathering - 2nd Day of Raya in Port Dickson

Hi there!

It's been 18 years since we left school. This is the time for us to get together and to remember the good old days in school.

With the requests from the old friends, we are looking for the ex-students of

i) Sekolah Menengah Dato' Haji Abdul Samad, Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan (Batch SPM 88/89)
ii) Sekolah Menengah Rendah Sirusa, Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan (Batch SRP 86/87)

to celebrate the Hari Raya together this year!

Wherever you are, we believe you will "balik kampung" to celebrate Hari Raya with your parents and this year will be more meaningful as you'll have your old school friends together!

Dear people, if you are the former students of the two schools or you know anyone from the schools, please let us know!

Our Raya gathering will be 2 months from now (14th August 2007)!
