(C) OTHER BITS OF INFORMATION

Nasaruddin Dahlan

Nasa has suggested Kolej Tuaku Jaafar as a venue It is an international boarding school in Mantin. The college would be a good place to hold the reunion since it’s a school and we could do stuff we used to do. The golfers could also jump the fence and play a few rounds next door. To be held during our July school holidays.

Be Generous (for those who can)

One person’s small change may be another person’s monthly income. Maybe you can put a minimum amount, and those who wish to contribute more, are very much welcomed. Sponsor(s) are welcome

Preferred Location

Location tu I think best is KL. Kalau outdoors tu tak apa, tapi don’t have it during monsoon season. And to me lah, don’t have it for too long. Setakat dari lepas Zuhor to lepas Asar.

No 5-star hotels

KL Tower

KL Tower since Datuk zul is the CEO. Other that celebrating it sky high, we cud do other stuff there as well like the jungle trail, fly fox and also explorace kindda thing. . That is if we do not want to stay overnight.

Informal is Good

Of the few reunions I’ve attended, the one at carcosa stood out from the rest coz to me it captured the essence of a reunion, i.e. an informal affair that allows maximum interaction in a relax environment – so go easy on the “official/formal” programme. What essentially would happen is people will just break into groups and chat, thus would be great to fashion the reunion in that manner

So there you are folks!
