Pesta Sahur Class of 94

Sebelum nasib aku menjadi sama seperti Pak Lah (iaitu menghadapi tekanan dari pelbagai pihak) sebab lambat menulis blog Pesta Sahur Class of 94, terpaksalah aku ponteng kerja nak update blog.

Things worth noting from last weekend's Pesta Sahur:

ATTENDANCE

Could have been better, I think it was around 25+ but did not confirm the final tally

Epit as the event organiser perlulah menerima hakikat bahawa as we get older, hanya orang2 yang tidak cintakan 10 Ramadhan terakhir yang hadir ke pesta-pesta lagha seperti ini

Attendance: Epit, Mpro, Chibiok, Badut & Red, Chamat, Fadhil, Kuchai, Shahid, Aiwa, Syam, Fido, Fendy, Azrin Madin, Ska, Kadak, Fadli, Syed Asrul, Radin, Fitt, Abon, Hairol, Idzam, Ein, Cop (sapa lagi aku tertinggal? Banyak yg balik awal without tunggu ambik gambo)

FOOD/VENUE

Actually it was better than PJ Hilton, but most of us were too full anyway (even Aiwa!) that for the amount of food we consumed, it was quite a steep price. Most of us only have one plate, so the bulk of what was paid went to the venue itself

It was very crowded (at least nampak sangatlah bukan kitorang je yang tak bangun malam nak beribadat, banyak lagi rakyat Malaysia macam ni) and very noisy (what with a Filipino band singing!) so we had to shout most of the time

SPECIAL APPEARANCE

The prize for the most priceless appearance definitely will have to go to Saudara Azrin Madin, a Sabahan whom we have not seen since 1994. He hasn't changed a bit - banyak lah yang ambik peluang nak ambik gambor takut2 lambat pulak jumpa (but then he's in Ara Damansara now anyway, tak payah nak trace ni)

En Kadaque mewakili geng JariMentega pun ada jugak hadir - tapi macam wakil rakyat ha ha. En Kadaque berjanji nak bagi signed poster Butterfinger (and album sekali kan?) as prizes for Mighty Ducks Cup in a month's time. Project Director (Mpro/Epit) - sila2 lah buat baik dgn En Kadaque selepas ini.

Fadli yang baru je landed from Melbourne (macam mana from Houston sesat kat Melbourne pun aku tak tahu) datang terus dengan ditemani Pak Tuan

DOOR GIFT

Door gift pada tahun ini adalah pau Yut Loy (ha ha) disponsor oleh Sdr Chibiok (dia ikhlas) and aku (aku tak ikhlas ha ha)

Kebetulan I was in KK on Saturday conducting this year's annual Scholarship Workshop for the Fifth Formers

I got a call from Chibiok with his usual keselambaan "eyyhh aku dah tempah pau kat Yut Loy for sahur, nanti kau pegi ambik"

The following SMS ensued:

"tp aku orang Islam, aku x makan pau Yut Loy"

"Chamat ckp kau boleh makan pau Yut Loy"

Maka berbekalkan fatwa dari Chamat, aku yang seumur hidup tak pernah makan pau Yut Loy (ye laaa kena lah jaga track record as bekas Presiden BRU) pun terpaksa berbuka dengan pau Yut Loy

Ha ha ha patut la orang beratur, the beef/chicken pau was really nice

Last2 malam tu semua tapau pau Yut Loy buat balik, malangnya aku dapat pau kaya yang agaklah kurang best

TRICK OF THE NIGHT

Badut bukak cerita sedih pasal team hockey koleq and suka-duka jadi Bapak Itik

Aku yang dok peghati punya lah nak gelak sbb nampak sangat dia nak meraih simpati (nasi tambah dia boleh tahan la)

Padahal ni dah dekat dengan zaman nak menagih duit - we need around RM5k each year around this time to last until February next year - so Badut buat buka kesian sebab lepas ni nak pergi mintak duit

Lepas ni banyak la yang dapat SMS mintak sumbangan ha ha ha

HIGHLIGHTS

Aiwa - the pictures are better than a thousand of my words to illustrate why apa2 function pun, Aiwa aka Wan Ismail Golok aka Sabri Yunus will be the highlight

Rancangan aku ngn Chamat nak print puzzle tu and distribute next reunion kat anak2 budak batch suruh diorang teka bontot sapa dalam gambar tu

Epit janji tahun depan kita tak kacau malam 10 terakhir Ramadhan ha ha. But it was good catching up, I personally was too tired to eat or to talk much, since I was awake for the last 24 hours by then and had to endure 9 hrs of standing and speaking in Hargreaves Hall masa bulan puasa, before driving back all the way to catch up with the sahur event.

On a different note - Jita could not make it last minute because his wife delivered a baby boy that night :-)

ps: Calon utama nak kena buang batch - Bobo @ E81. Aku call dia malam tu sbb dia janji nak dtng, dia tak angkat. Esok pagi dpt sms "alamak sorry tertido, aku baru bangun ngn wahida he he" pukul 11 pagi.
