My dearest friends,

Sorry for the delayed update on the minutes of our first meeting @Padi Cyberjaya on the 12th of March 2010. Atie had emailed me a couple of weeks ago but I couldn’t find time to logged in to our dot com and update it. Works are piling up as always, but thank Allah today I managed to find time to update. Anyway, here’s the minutes and should you guys have any inquiries, feel free to leave a note in the comment box, and we’ll try to answer a.s.a.p. And to dearest Atie, I really (x100000) appreciate your effort; taking down notes during the meeting, and then typing them out nicely in a document. Next time we’ll paksa Firah to do that ok. Hehe. (Peace, Firrrrr!! ♥ ♥ ♥)

An official [sort of/hope so!] meeting will be held @Padi House Cyberjaya on Friday, 12th March 2010.
Please RSVP to my or Atie’s FB of mobile phone if you’re coming.
Details will be added later!

The poll is now officially CLOSED.  Thank you all for casting your votes, and to those who have not, let’s all assume that we speak for others too. Can we? And thankfully we have come to a unanimous decision. Our 10th Anniversary celebration will be held on:

December 6th, 2010.

I would like to thank Fozz,Nadz and Shazu personally for they have begun their part as the committee. On February 15th, Fozz and Nadz went to OGA Hall in Putrajaya to survey and see whether the place is suitable for our anniversary. OGA Hall is apparently a shop-lot. I’ve been told by an OG, Kak Ida Borhan that it’s not really suitable to have a gathering there. Fozz and Nadz confirmed that. I quote Fozz:

ok since dah after cny, lets just get the ball rolling, seperti kata nadiah.

so far me n nadiah dah tgk OGA hall kat Putrajaya tu.. it’s at a shoplot area. klu nak pk parking, mmg senang. but just the part its a shoplot tu yg tak sure ble muat ke x sume org..

so now like nadiah said, the most important thing is to estimate brape org nak dtg dulu on that 6/12.

 

So girls, OGA Hall is out. Shazu has surveyed Sime Darby Convention Centre and I quote her in FB message.

aku dh usha price SDCC..
since we’re budgetting dlm 80pax, so they’re giving us the function room..bukannya ballroom tu (yg zura razman kawen tu)..the food and what not, bilik etc and staff discount..dalam rm7k kot? kena check blk.

aku pon dh tanya ofis aku, diorg x bg quotation lg..but for Sime Darby staff discount, instead of ++, diorg bg nett la (aku x phm pls?)..for now diorg bgtahu RM65nett per person. ni pon kena check blk.

kena confirm attendance brape org, so that they can quote us for a smaller/bigger room.

sekian laporan.

I was shocked to read the RM7k part (lol) but as shazu said, we have to check again to see if we can get better deals. And friends, mind you this is just a suggestion. If you have any place that you think really fits to be our venue, feel free to voice out your opinion. I mean, you HAVE TO if you think you have better ideas ok. Hehehehe. No need to be malu-malu or whatnot as we need to confirm this a.s.a.p so that Kiau can begin her Chetti duty.

Hope to hear from you. Hugs.

Alhamdulillah, discussions were quite active both in tkc9600.com and Facebook. As per requested, and as promised by yours truly, now I’ll update on the not-yet-final conclusions from the discussions. I will also share with you the information that I got from OGA. But for today, we’re going to focus on only the date. And I hope we can come to a decision.

Date…

I think we have to cross out 10.10.10 from our list. It’s unanimous that everyone thinks the date is a HOT one. Hot as in hot foe weddings,engagements,attending weddings,attending engagements et cetera. Even though it means A LOT if we can do it on that date, but we’re gonna go for practicality instead. Afraid that there won’t be many turnouts on the day of the anniversary. But a small get together,an informal one can be arranged if we want to meet up on this date. That is, if we don’t have any weddings/ engagements to attend to that day (aku sanggup ambik cuti to come down to KL if anyone nak get together on 10.10.10).

Atie suggested 5.Nov.10 since it’s a public holiday (Deepavali) and seconded by Inamadz and Fozz. Ina suggested the theme "Colors of Rangoli" if we were to have the anniversary on that date. Though I can’t imangine myself wearing a sari (I dare not imagine!! Hahahah), but the idea is good too. It’s on Friday, so no one needs to apply for leave, except for the Doctors of our batch (Marr, Pau Ahmad tak cuti jugak ke on Deepavali? ).

Idya suggested 10.July.10. It’s on Saturday. And those in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu need to apply for leave at least for Sunday,the day after. Unless, you can bear it, then go ahead and work the next day. Hehehe. I know I can’t. LOL. I will be busy with preparations for UPSR during this time,though.  Not that the show can’t go on without me, but I’d be extremely devastated if I can’t join in the celebration. TT_TT

The last one is 6.Dec.10. To be honest, I REALLLLLLY agree if we go on with this date. It is so SIGNIFICANT with our batch since 6.Dec.95 was officially the day most of us first stepped on Bukit Merbah as TKC9600 (those yang ada visit kakak-kakak tak kira ok?). It will be on Sunday Monday,so those in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu, imho, definitely need to apply for leave, but the day after is a public holiday (Awal Muharam). It is the 10th anniversary, so I personally think it should have some significance to our batch,no?

Can we have a poll then? And can I officially CLOSE the suggestions for dates? If not, we might end up with other suggestions and in the end won’t come to a decision. So, only these three dates,ok? Cast your votes now. This poll will end on 13 Feb 2010.

A few days back, Firah has messaged me and a few others in Facebook. So for a few days, we have been discussing roughly on the committees and what to do during the reunion. But before I proceed to the point, I’d like to apologize for not updating our blog. I’m not going to give any excuses because for sure it’s going to be cliché and lame,so I’m hoping you guys would accept my apology. ♥ ♥ ♥ InsyaAllah, God willing, I’ll update this blog as frequent as I can.

In part 3 of our 10th Anniversary entry, I wrote about the committees for the reunion. A few have suggested me as the Director in that entry. And again in the Facebook message. Accepting it comes with a big burden of duties, so I’m hoping we can all work together to make the reunion a successful and memorable event. Here’s the list of the committees that we’ve roughly discussed. Kindly voice out your comment if you think this committee needs amendment.

1. Director – Fizzy
2. Assistant Director – Atie
3. Secretary – Firah
4. Assistant Secretary – Shambie
5. Treasurer – Kiau
6. Assistant Treasurer -Ninie
7. Accommodation – ??
8. Food – Idya,Marr
9. Sponsorship – ??
10. Programs/Events – Fozz, Nadiah,Jaja Farizan
11. Souvenirs – Shazu, Inamadz, Idya

As you can see we still have a few posts empty. I’d like to nominate Nana, but don’t know for 7,8, or 9.. Nana please volunteer for one! Hehehehe.. And if anyone thinks she’s up to the challenge, please nominate yourself. No need to be shy or whatnot, because this is for the benefit of our batch. Plus, time is running out!! We have to have the committee a.s.a.p so that we can work on the plans.

For now, we kind of decided to have a “mini gathering” during OGA Day on the 1st of May 2010. Nothing specific has been planned, for now it’s just like a normal visit to Bukit Merbah. But if a number of us gather in one place, you know it won’t be NORMAL anymore,right? It’ll be LOUD. EXTREMELY LOUD!! Hehehehe. And the date for the reunion I assume it’s decided on Sunday, 10.10.10? Unless Shambie decided to tie the knot that day [jeng jeng jeng], I think for now we’ll be using that date as our benchmark. Am I right?

So girls, I think that’s all for now. Will update more once I get your feedback.
Take care. ♥ ♥ ♥

i’m so sorry for the lo—–ng silence here. i must admit, and i’m sure everyone would agree, that we sort of need something to “push” us to write here. like the last time it was because of we went back to college during OG Day. all of a sudden the “college spirit” filled our hearts and all we could talk about was college, college and college. heheheh. hence the multiple posts in our dotcom at that time. when we don’t have anything to reminisce, somehow the ‘feel’ to write is just not there. or is it only me who think that way?

anyhow, i’d like to thank Miya for her effort to upload our photos in FB. seriously my dears, it’s a MUST SEE!! click here and prepare to have a good laugh till your officemates think you’re crazy.. heheheh.. yesterday i laughed the WHOLE day, looking at the photos and reading the comments. then i got home after work, laughed some more. the comments just keep on coming i couldn’t keep up!! LOL. and today?! well, let’s just say Miya’s doing her job REALLY well. most of us would end up getting a six-pack each after this,i think. hehehhehe.

those were the good times, right girls? i sincerely won’t trade it with anything in this world. no one can ever compare what we mean to each other.. the memories are so hard to forget,no?? and after reading those comments, i was even more amazed that some of us still remember the very little things that i don’t even think is possible to be remembered..haha.. perhaps those little things that made our 5 years there more meaningful.. [though most of the time it's about something that's not 'life-threatening' or important at all..] hahaha.. i’m afraid people might think differently towards college after this. i mean, we did portray college as a FUN place to be. not a place to STUDY. LOL

one thing for sure though.. at least we had a LIFE there. these days, collegians are sooooooo busy with books! just imagine, studying Biology while watching basketball match! WTH?!!! and doing R&D during school years?! like, H.E.L.L.O?!!.. i think the most COMPLICATED academic-related stuff still vivid in my memory is when Maya had to “operate” a frog during Biology with Mrs Lee.. [and may i add it was YUCKSSSSS!!!? i suffered that day ok?!] that’s the ONLY thing i remembered. don’t even start to ask me about Physics or Chemistry classes! the LABS were merely a place to sleep! don’t you agree? hehehe. Add Maths?! i “blame” Encik Ahmad for being super nice to us back then and didn’t even get angry when me and Jasara slept the whole time during his class. LOL

oh my goodness, did i just ramble about the old times again? hehehe.. can’t help myself though. these past couple of days, i miss you guys horribly. all because of Miya! [dear, i mean it in a good way,ya..]

anyway, i can’t promise to update regularly as nowadays i’m busy with my students’ UPSR and my own examinations+assignments too.  feel free to update, guys!! if you don’t know how to go about it,  just give me a call or email me or leave a message in my FB wall. or better, ask SHAMBIE..[she who does not know what "nebes" is and how to pronounce it correctly..] hehehehe.. peace, love!!

so, i’ll see you guys later~

i’m terribly sorry for the long silence. i’ve been away for a couple of weeks because of the school holidays. yup, i made FULL USE of my school break, and really berehat-rehat sambil menternak lemak di rumah. even though during weekends daku akan bersama shambie. and last weekend we went to mizot’s before attending my friend’s wedding. managed to ‘update’ a.k.a gossip a little.  :lol:

ermm, about the 10th Year Anniversary Committee, thanks for giving your thoughts and suggestions. we’ll continue about it later. this entry is mainly to let you guys know i’m still around. and to give info about the TKCOGA’s activity next month. Firah’s colleague a.k.a our senior, Kak Fern asked me to put this up in our website and Facebook. so here goes:-

Salam OGs.

Le Tua de Alley is here again. Let’s get together, bowl some pins over & have fun!

We’ll be thundering the lanes on:

Sunday 5th July 2009
Time : 9:30 am
Venue: Sunway Megalanes

Come! Come! Jom pi bowling / tengok OGs bowl / cheer !

For team/participation registrations, please contact Cik Khairulbariah @ 012 290 4445. (4 to a team)

Hope to see you there!

Best regards,
Ida

yeah, i know we ALL HAVE NOT REGISTERED for TKCOGA yet, but it’s ok i guess. after all, once a TKCian, always a TKCian, right? if the kakak-kakak see Class of 2000 together, they won’t be in doubt. don’t you think? if any of you would like to bowl and represent TKC9600 [which you're most welcome to!], do contact the person in charge. Kak Fern told me they need to confirm the teams by 20th June 2009 [that's this Saturday!!], so if you’re interested please cepat-cepat call. and guys, don’t underestimate OGA ok, from our experiences that day, they are no different from us. still gila-gila.

one thing though, the event is on the SAME day as Idya’s wedding. i know i won’t be around for Le Tua de Alley. so are Atie,Shazu,Firah,Kochee,Kechik and others who are going to Temerloh. but, even if i get to go i know i’ll only be the cheerleader, bersorak di belakang-belakang only.

that’s all for now. take care!!

On your birthday,
I wish for you the fulfillment of all your fondest dreams.
I hope that for every candle on your cake
you get a wonderful surprise.
I wish for you that whatever you want most in life,
it comes to you,
just the way you imagined it,
or better.
I hope you get as much pleasure from our friendship as I do.
I look forward to enjoying our friendship
for many more of your birthdays.
I’m so glad you were born,
because you brighten my life
and fill it with joy.
Happy Birthday, my dear dearest Shambie!

No words can explain how grateful we are that our paths crossed. We hope that you’ll have a great birthday today and always be healthy. Take care, we love you.

XoX;

fizzy and all tkc9600, class of 2000.

pardon me for such a long silence. i have been busy with my students’ mid year examination i didn’t really have the time to post an entry here.  now it’s the school holiday, so for the time being i’m quite free [ have not marked the students' exam papers yet though~]. busy or not, the planning for our10th anniversary is still in my mind.

last week, i was online with some of us through emails to ask for opinions. and as promised, this entry [part 3] will be on the committee. after discussing among us, we have decided to form a committee consisting of the list below:-

1. Director
2. Assistant Director
3. Secretary
4. Treasurer
5. Accommodation
6. Logistic
7. Food
8. Sponsorship
9. Programs
10. Souvenirs

as always,your opinions and suggestions are most welcome. as much as we appreciate critics, we do need constructive comments too, i.e. comments that comes with suggestions to make things better. i do aplologize for making the decision after only discussing with only a few of us, but as  i stated above, if you have anything that you think should be amended, then please speak your mind. i’m merely putting up what we have discussed, but like always, this is not final.

on the other hand, if you think the proposed committee is o-kay, then i would like all of you to nominate anyone among ourselves [including yourself] to be in the committee. those who you think would do the job well. shaxu and idya have volunteered to be in the SOUVENIRS ‘department’ which include preparing stuff for goodie bags and souvenirs for teachers.

zack would definitely be in the FOOD committee, but we still need another one who’s staying locally just in case zack couldn’t make it [nauzubillahiminzalik!!] that day. this person will work with the director and secretary regarding the F&B on the day.

i would like to nominate ninie as the treasurer since that’s her forte. feel free to suggest orang lain though, this is not final. :-D we will be collecting funds for the celebration, but the exact amount will only be decided by the committee that we are going to form after this.

i think that’s all for now. will update if i have new info.

take care!

frankly, i’m not really comfortable writing about this since i knew about mida’s condition. it seems rather inappropriate to be talking/discussing about this thing when mida is fighting her pain. but i do hope everyone will be understanding. any news regarding mida will be updated as soon as we hear anything. so in the meantime, let’s continue our discussion on the 10th year anniversary plan now, shall we?

let me start off with the reasons WHY i would like/prefer the anniversary be held in october [yes, the school is STILL in session at that time] and WHY the celebration should be in college.

• as we would be turning 27 next year, it will be appropriate for us to have a sort of “give back” session with the present collegians. perhaps we can share some experiences with them about working world or life post-college.
• 2011, college will move to a new location, i.e. Nilai. So 2010 will be the LAST year our beloved college would be on Bukit Merbah.
• one of the itineraries i have in mind [to be explained later], involves EATING in dining hall, so by having the celebration during school holidays, we HAVE to skip that. [as i'm writing suddenly "SAUSAGE MASAK MERAH" came in mind..] *drool*
• i thought of inviting our teachers who currently are no longer teaching in college to the anniversary. at least if they are still in negeri sembilan [like Monsieur Amir-yes Nadz,he's teaching in SMAP Labu now], we won’t intefere their school holidays.

please bear in mind that this comes from a teacher herself.  if you ask me, i would definitely want it to be during school holidays so that i won’t have to apply for cuti, but for the above reasons, i think it should be done somewhere during school session. please don’t worry about getting permission or the place to sleep in college. as this is only the early stage of our plan, i will seek advice from the OGs [batch 8084] regarding the issue.

and like i’ve commented before, the overnight stay is OPTIONAL and is most likely/only applied to single people [like yours truly,firah,atie and shazu..err, shambie pun ke?!!] and the committees that we are going to have later [for persiapan tempat etc]. i understand the difficulties to those with child/children, that’s why the MAIN events will only be on 10.10.10 [sunday] so you won’t have to worry about leaving our anak-anak saudara(s)  and your better halves by themselves.

however, there’s ONE thing that i’m afraid of and the only reason why our anniversary WON’T be on 10.10.10. that is, if it falls during the PMR Week. i know “Bonda” won’t approve it and i also think it’ll be inappropriate [Bonda-that's what collegians call the principle, not like we used to call ours,"Rocky" ]. this can’t be confirmed until next year though, because exam dates are not fixed. but for the time being let’s just stick to the date, can we? the poll is still going. so, place your vote there ok. if you have another date to suggest, i.e. the same date as 2010 OGA Day, please let us know.

alright, now le’ts get to the itinerary of the day. mind you that these are just my suggestions and they are subjected to changes or improvements that you think should be done in order to have a complete one. ideas or other suggestions are most welcome too.

1. solat hajat & yaasin recital for PMR & SPM [if PMR dah lepas then utk SPM je]
2. film show [it would be a dream if we can have the one like we used to have, if not guna LCD je lah..]
3. dinner,supper [091010],breakfast,lunch,tea [101010] @ dining hall
4. basketball/volleyball match – interhouse or tkc9600 vs collegians
5. house meeting
6. college meeting/experience sharing @ Dewan Budiman
7. lunch with teachers [as in no.3]
8. slideshow [of our times in college - can be included in no.6]

please tell me what you think. these are not final. part 3 will be on the committees.

take care, girls!

Please pick/suggest a date for our 10th Anniversary!

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.
