MGC/TKC 60th Anniversary Dinner

This year our alma mater celebrates it 60th Anniversary (1947 - 2007) and to commemorate the ocassion, a grand dinner was held on 18th August ... and I was there :D he .. he .. he .. Hey, come on! We all know what the college means to us all and how it has partly shaped our lives so this is something that I can't let it pass.

The theme for the night was Diamonds are Forever and true enough a number of those present had their bling-blings on. There were 21 of us from the Class of 74 in all our fineries.

Oh heck! I am not good with words like Kasma, so I'll just let the picture tell the story.

Shidot, Norsiah and Tiger were there

... and so were Zaininah and Nin

Kasma and Haizan did not wan to miss it, too.

Here are Sherry, Zah and Jon

And another one of Sherry with Normie




Pah and Sham came


and Jay and Shamp.

Edah, Dilot, Ani Salim and Atel were also at the dinner, but I must have missed taking their photos. Sorry about that girls.

Besides royalties from Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Perak the special guests on the night were the pioneer students of the MGC when it was first opened in 1947.


Our ibu-ibu - calling them kakak just doesn't seem right
(please excuse the back of the chair in the picture, couldn't get any closer without getting in front of the royal table)

The entertainment for the night were by the old girls themselves from the years between '57 and '99. They certainly have the punch still, swaying with the rhythm in their dance performances. There was also performances by the current girls of the college.

As usual, the night will not end unless the floor is opened for the fling with the artiste Shahrizan getting the crowd moving and grooving starting with the song All Night Long.

With her busy schedule as the national organ transplant co-ordinator, we can understand Lela wanting to let her hair down

but .... what can you say about this? .... this lady certainly has still got it in her ..

And I think it didn't just stop at the dance floor. As I was leaving with Edah and Atel, a group of girls followed Ani up to the hotel room ..... for some midnight supper I guess. I wonder if any of them decided to squat in the room for the night.

But overall, everyone had a great time .... we can almost excuse the bland menu that was served for dinner. Hopefully it will be better next time.

Good job with the camera, Jon! Hope the others with cameras that night will share their snapshots too.

It was great meeting everyone again, but I was a little under the weather that night, so mostly duduk diam diam kat meja saja, taking in everything and enjoying every minute of it.

Will try to post soemthing on the night, as sson as time permits.

Ciao!
