It's the August de javu
Looking back at my august 2008 posting and it's de javu cos Syed Azmi is back in town again for his annual holidays. Spoken to him once but haven't got the chance to meet up yet. He's busy with family get togethers and unwinding at island resorts. Guess some people have all the luxury. Anyway, here's wishing everyone a blessed ramadhan and hope to meet up some of you during raya.

Syed Azmi is back in town again!
Well, it's the time of year again when our 4-seasons dwellers return to their kampungs for the relative warm and sunshine of their hometowns. Welcome back!
Last I heard, Syed Azmi indicated that he would be back for his annual holidays here in KL. So, I hope he can contact any of us for a mini-reunion now that the grand reunion is not anywhere on the radar screen yet.
Also, our veritable trade envoy to Taiwan, Mr WAG was spotted at Chan's daughter wedding on 26th July with his charming spouse. In all, we had a mini-reunion of sorts at the weddings of the sons and daughters of MCV75 throughout this year. Something to be proud of or a reminder of the times that had gone by - we're all (most of us anyway) celebrating our golden anniversary this year (2008).
Another wedding on the horizon is the wedding of Manan's daughter on 16th August in Kota Bharu. The wedding card and map have been posted to group list. Hope to see those who can make it there.
Guess that's my rambling for now as lunch is approaching and I'm starving on this hot Saturday afternoon. Bon apppetit for you too!

Dear all,
Woke up late one saturday morning and upon checking my email
found lots of mcv75 messages in my yahoo inbox. Wow! mcv75
members getting active again following long slumber during the
world cup. And interesting talk on world cup, gay marriage, biz
and the old standby of religious sermons.
Anyway, i would to remind members of our coming shotgun
reunion next saturday, 22nd July. Those who have the intention
and able to come, please confirm your attendangce with me or Salim
so that we can do a proper headcount for logistical purposes.
Which brings me to the topic of my mail ie about Syed Azmi a.k.a.
"playboy". He's back in town for his once-in-a-decade or so "balik
kampung" routine and will attend our reunion dinner. It seems he's
on a return trip to visit one of his sons working in Subang Jaya.
So, those who want to catch up with our celebrity "atomicman", don't miss this coming reunion dinner, hehehe... I guess you can talk biz, physics,
football, religion, the good ole days or whatever with him.
Anyway, for those who can't or unable to make it for the dinner can still
talk to him in private (hmmm, no gay talk, okay). How? I'll give you his
temporary mobile no. (valid until August 4th) for you to say hello. The
number to call is: 017-607 4859. Rest assured the number is valid and
genuine as i just spoke to him this morning to confirm his attendance at
the reunion do.
That's all folks for this glorious but otherwise dull saturday morning here
in KL. Catch up with you next saturday in Shah Alam, okay.

Life in passing or passed lifes
Salam~,
Suddenly this blog is more than a month old. How time really flies when you're having fun and time is a drag when you're having challenges. So much so i was not able to keep my resolution of having blog posts every other day or so. Not even every other week now, so perhaps every other month will do. Sorry folks but it's hard to be a one-man editor on this blogsite. i have been kept busy by one thing or another such as ...
The previous weekend i spent some time in my rural birthplace visiting my ailing grandma. Although a lot has changed on the surface but in substance much remains the same. Watching the mists rolling in the valley fronting her house and on the riverbank brought realisation of relentless change all around and we become the silent observers. A frail old lady lying on tattered straw mat, a few years short of a century in life, has made the call to descendants to meet before her final departure. Losing hope but not senses, only a flicker of life remains that has yet to pass. One goes at the end of one's time and that is life, in short.
This weekend i attended the wedding of the wife's cousin in an upmarket, city suburb. A standard, modern reception at a relative's residence for quick and convenient reception of guests, local and out of town. Guests come and go at their own time until the final hour and we were among the late comers. Privilege being, having our meal with the bride and groom as they joined our table for their long awaited meal. The bride (wife's cousin) is a year short of half century and the groom well past his half century, make a joyous splendour of a new life starting together. Wish them well on their matrimonial journey starting with a honeymoon in a 5-star chain hotel.
A life can be at the end or starting anew. Where we are, is half as important as what we do with it. The river of life flows taking all in it, as bystanders or active participants immaterial. However, what end it brings depends on the choices we make or fail to make today. We hope the life that has passed will add to the life to come and enriching us in every way. So, that's life in passing or has passed as the case may be.
Wassalam.

Life's a dream or live your dreams
Salam~
Yeah, got a few comments on the blogsite and on the topics that was written. I actually wanted to blog every other day but missed it yesterday, so here's the replacement. What I found amazing was that when I published the blog, within minutes if not seconds, it appeared on the web clips of my Google Desktop. I wondered if it was only my desktop but someone from class of '60 got wind of it, made a comment to visit his blog and link our blog to his. Even our "alley oop" (a blogger), made a comment and it showed this thing really goes to world wide web in real time! Such power of technology that we have now is the dream of yesteryears.
Next, nazi found a website belonging to the late Kasim Junit and forwarded it to us. Thanks. The site talks about his dreams amongst others but the premature (or is it predestined) death in less than a year (after the dream was conceived) put an end to it all. That really put a perspective on life and dreams, at least for me, on where or when one stops or begins another. But then, it's a question of intention and one will be rewarded for starting it and leave the end to the Almighty.
So, is our life a dream or do we live our dreams; is up to us to answer and realise it. After all, getting bullied by seniors on our very first day of registration is a dream now (not a nightmare huh, mas & nyff) and getting to bully seniors in the corporate and business world is an option now (if you have the clout). However, you may want to check out Kasim Junit's website on options to make your life a dream instead, as I did but prefer for now, to stick to my current activity. Of course, you'll get to know when my dreams come to true and I am living my dreams (God willing), in the coming pages of this blog and in real time! See you then...
Wassalam.
P/s: I've made changes to the blog and have added the prayer time for KL (at bottom of page), so when in KL, you can use this site to check it out. Also, I intend to put old photos instead, so if you've got any worth putting up, just email me.

Our first day in MCKK or just another day in passing
Salam~,
Looks like a slow start to this blog thing. I have sent out invitations to members to become contributors but only two have responded and one registered. Guessed the rest are blur about this or just don't have the time or inclination for this frivolity but i'll march on.
So far no one has responded on the exact date of the day we first set foot in MCKK. Hmm, docs nazi and adris, i'm sure you guys have got great memories, that's why you got to be doctors in the first place - just kidding. I'm sure someone has record of the date but needs to be coaxed to respond.
Anyway, moving on with the new hijrah year, let me share on why i'm motivated to setup this blog. Two days ago, I was checking my mail and browsing blogs and saw the message about Kasim Junit, our senior, being in coma due to serious brain haemorrhage on 28th February. Members of his batch were communicating his status updates through their blogsite. I spotted his own posting dated 15th February, that "BRU is still alive and kicking..." and by 2nd March he has passed away.
So guys, life is short and precious and one could be alive and kicking one day but two weeks or two days later transitioned to the other world. As he is only one year older than us and some of our batchmates are in that age too, shouldn't we be looking to ourselves and wondering who's next? Alfatihah to allahyarham Kasim Junit, may his soul be blessed.
P/s: Anyone has recollection of how he was in college? I'm totally blank here as he could be one of the quiet ones who didn't bother us that time and all I was told he was a short, fair guy from Kuantan.

Start of MCV75 Blog - March 0n!!!
Salamun'alaikum or Peace be upon you all,
If i remember correctly, we first stepped foot in Malay College in March 1974 though the exact date escaped me. If anyone can correct that, we can have that date on record as the day our lives and times are intertwined.
In view of changes in technology and to keep up with the times, made me as of today, 1st March 2006, start this web-log or blog for short, for members of MCV75 to share what is left of their lives and times and to preserve memories of old times for posterity, hence the name of this blog.
I welcome you all to this new mode of communication and we just might as well shutdown our e-group list in favour of this. This may end past episodes of malicious postings and compromised systems.
We can link with other related blogsites so as to enrich the experience - so, start your posts now!
Wassalam.
P/s: For a start, suggestions and recommendations from members on the form and format of this blog are welcome and we'll take from there as i believe this medium is more dynamic. March On!!!
