Much as I did for my family members, I induced the same kind of program to inculcate closer relationship for my x-jsedc friends. Recently in conjunction with the Eidul Fitri we organised a Hari Raya gathering on 12th., October, 2009 at MSuites Hotel, Johor Bahru.
About 10 'xjsedc' friends and 7 family members attended the occasion. Those present includes Tn. Hj. Abd. Jalal Basimi & wife, Tn. Hj. Ahmad Jalaludin, Tn. Hj. Alias Ismail, Tn. Hj. Esa Mamek, Tn. Hj. Harith Hamid & wife, Tn. Hj. Hassan Mustaffa & wife, Tn. Hj. Jaafar Yusoff, Tn. Hj. Md. Said Awang & wife, Tn. Hj. Mohamad Ramli Yasir & wife, and Tn. Hj. Sabtu Abu Bakar , wife and son.
We all had a good time together, rekindling ourselves of Ziggy Marley's 'The Good Old Days', recalling Barbara Streisands' 'The Way We Were' and expressing Pink's Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here' to those friends that could not attend.
On the auspiscious day, we had the opportunity of updating each other of where and what we are doing now after so many years of 'out-of-sight and out-of-mind', while not forgetting to offer prayers and 'sedekah Fatehah' to our xjsedc friends who had passed away over the years namely, Allahyarham-Allahyarham Abd. Rahman Hamid, Abd. Rahman Mohamed, Ahmad Ibrahim, Bahaudin Paok, Basir Ismail (Tan Sri), Hamzah Bakar, Hashim Mohamad (Dato’), Hussein Mohamad (Dato’), Ismail Uda, Mohd Ali Buran, Rais Abd. Aziz, Shamsuri Hj. Ali (Dato’), Syed Aziz Othman and Yasnon Pakeh.
To cap it all, we all agreed that we should organised such get-together in future Hari Raya on the third week of Syawal and crave to invite as many more xjsedc friends as possible. InsyaAllah.
WARISAN YAS ....menjana kerukunan keluarga bahagia
