O..no..this is not a romantic blog..I don't do "romantic", sorry. But when I heard that I was supposed to handle an event and I was given only ONE, numero UNO week my heart just dropped. Can I pull this off? In my head there were millions of things going on in one shot I could hardly breathe...The only good thing that went through my mind was, "Hey! I get to see my OLD school (1983-1985 and thats really old)!". All of a sudden I was motivated! I was also motivated with the great food that I had not tasted in a darn long time.
On the 27th May,2010 my colleague and I made it down to this little town used to be known as Bandar Maharani (Queen's City). Now it is called MUAR! It took us approximately 2hours+ driving there from Kuala Lumpur. As we approached Tanjung Agas where my OLD schoold is, a sense of 'proudness' started to creep in. I went slowly and glanced..WOW Sekolah Menengah Sains muar is looking good! A lot of GOOD people came out of this school like ME! Bwah! Hah! Hah! (Psst..my ex schoolmates please cheer).
My colleague suggested we grab a bite to eat before our appointment. I was not THAT hungry but as soon as I saw the "Mee Bandung" and the succulent looking Satay..I literally pigged out. I also took the opportunity to buy sh**loads of 434 coffee. One of the best coffees I have tasted in this entire planet ;-)

1st June we went back to Muar to do last minute preparations before the event. As we tried to check in into a hotel and as I predicted I would have a little falling out with the hoteliers..not worth to mention the reasons in here...so we moved hotel LOL.
The next day it was crazy setting up and rehearsal. It was a "fire-fighting" day. Some printing mishaps, glasses shattered, insufficient decors, last minute changes..yada yada yada...However, thanks to my colleagues, we pulled through. On the 3rd June, the event went well and I was proud to be a part of (in a smallest way) the new court house in this small town. The guest of honor also mentioned this event in his blog ---> Majlis Penyerahan Kompleks Mahkamah Muar
Briefly talked to him and as long as he was happy and as the rest of the VIPs..my job was done...
I wish I had the time to visit my school though. As I was driving back, I glanced again at the school. I smiled as I was thinking about all the great times I had in that school. To ex-SMS Muarians, I miss you guys and we should call for a reunion soon.
