Back to School Again
Yes, tomorrow morning I will be travelling with my no.2 child, Ayi (20) back to our hometown Kota Bharu. Why? Because apart from some family matters to settle, I will be going back to school on Sunday, 29th July, for some activities organised by my alumni, SEMESTA.
To be precise, SEMESTA is organising a Career Day at our alma-mater on that day. Some 25+ alumni will be there, to participate in the program. Even though this is not my first time going back to the school for such programme, this is the first time the alumni of several batches, go back in full force, for a whole full day program during a schoolday! Previously we went during the weekend, or even if we went back during a schoolday, there were not more than 10 of us.
The programme will start during assembly on that morning (being the first day of school) with the plenary speech by our own legend, Rosli Hussein aka Pakda. He was the first from the school to be awarded the school Colours for Sports. During his prime days, he was one of the strikers for the Malaysian soccer team, way back in the 1980s. Now Pakda is the general manager of Dale Carnegie (Malaysia).
Later we will be conducting parallel sessions of various career fields. I am so grateful to my felow alumni who have agreed to come along to make this event a success. They represent various fields of engineering (civil, EE, mechanical, electrical), law, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, finance, accounting, architecture, just to name a few. Ah, yes, we will also have two pilots too to grace the event! Each of these sessions will consist of seminar-like presentation on the career as well as Q&A sessions. There is really no set format- it's up to the respective alumnus/alumni how to conduct the session.
We will end up the programme by having lunch together with the students in the memorable Dining Hall together with the existing students :-)
Many other fellow alumni who could not join us, but have instead contributed some souvenirs to be given out during the programme. Salute to you guys/gals! And to those who could not make it, don't worry... we will have other programmes* too in the future that will provide you another chance to go back to our beloved alma-mater.
I really hope this programme will turn out well. Wish me luck!

We plan to go back to school again on 1st Sept 2007 for some fun activities such as friendly matches with the students/teachers!
We also have our annual Raya (Aidil Fitri) Gathering on the 3rd Day of Raya, At 3pm, in the School Hall! All alumni are invited to this function, FOC!
