Old Edwardians Reunion Dinner 23 June 2012

Made a trip home to Taiping again on 23 June 2012 for my school Sports Day and the highlight of the evening, the Old Edwardians Reunion Dinner.

Arrived at the hotel by 2.45PM. After checked-in, I went to the school field to watch the sports. It was drizzling when I arrived and the  march past was just over. I met old friends Ban Heng and Siva. They invited me to the school hall for tea. Other friends who said they would come have not arrived yet. Hariri, Raymond, Ramli and Azman arrived finally and we chatted awhile. We talked about another of our friend, Rahim, who had just been discharged from hospital. We decided to pay him a visit that afternoon.


We arrived at Rahim’s house at around 6.00 PM. He was glad to see the five of us. Over tea, we chatted of our good old school, the teachers and of other old friends. By 7.00PM, we bade farewell to Rahim to prepare ourselves for the reunion dinner.


The reunion dinner was the usual function protocol. At my table was Kuldeep Kumar and his two brothers and Dr Kumar with his son. Ramli, Azman, Raymond and Hariri were at another table. I met another school friend which I have not met since we left school, Mutalawakiten. The school band’s ensemble provided the entertainment.




After the dinner, we adjourned at Restoran A. Rahman for more chit-chat until 1.00 AM.

It was good to meet up with old friends.
