KL Old Edwardians Reunion Dinner 30 Nov 2013


The old boys association of the KL charter had organised a reunion dinner on the 30 November 2013. It was held at the Mont Kiara Equestrian Club.

Invitations were sent out some two months ago and some 12 "boys" of the 1978 batch registered.

I went to the dinner with Lt Col Sanuddin and Ikram, who are my neighbours.



Approaching the entrance of the function area, I was greeted by a junior whom I have not met since I left school, Noor Suran. Suran is now a Police Officer and he appeared very much differnt from the that "small boy" when he was with the School Band many years ago.

Another junior who greeted me was Roslan, who played the clarinet.

My cousin from Matang, Din Majid, was also there.

There was a counter selling T-shirts and a special designed short-sleeve shirt with the school badge (made to order). I made an order for the short-sleeve one. I was told it will be delivered to me in one month time.

After the opening speech by the KL president, Organizing Chairman and the new School Principal (himself and OE), we began to makan.

The food was a mix of Western and local - spaghetti, fried rice, lamb chops, satay, fried calamari, grilled fish, salads and vegetables.

The entertainment was by a Police band from Seremban, courtesy of SAC1 Wuzir. We were all allured by the hottie songstress. As usual, the audience were called upon to participate.




The night was further filled with laughter from the jokes by Professor Joginder Singh. Only, this time he look a little bit frill unlike the previous years.

Several of the "boys" who came from out of town will be driving back home that very night. Azman and Sham (Zamzam's brother) were to drive back home to Taiping.

After the dinner function ended at 12.00 midnight, some of us went for tea or coffee at a stall near Sri Hartamas.

We chatted right until about 1.30 AM at which time we bade our farewell.
