I think it’s now the 2nd week of the real preparation for the upcoming Penang Free School Class of 1999 1st Ever Reunion Dinner after Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Currently the crew who has been tirelessly attending meeting, doing designs and promoting are:
1. Lee Choo Meng
2. Ridhuan ‘becks’
3. Wan Nor Rashidi ‘Shidi’
4. hazairi ‘Jay’
5. Munies
6. Nik Nazree
7. Mahadhir
and every other individual who has helped in promoting this event and contacting our long lost friend. I can hardly believe we already left school for 10 years now. Somehow the memories are still fresh in my mind.

Organizing an event is not an easy thing, especially if it involves a lot of people and resources. Thanks to the passion of these guys to see it become a reality, things has started to picking up. Promotion has been going thick and fast, programming also has started and finalising of the guest list is almost complete. Hopefully by the day itself, our target of 100 pax. will be met, with God’s will.
To be honest with you, I first got the idea of organizing this kind of reunion in 2005, that was 4 years ago, but it never materialized mainly because work commitment and lack of spirit maybe. So the paperwork has been kept in my hard disk since. But finally this year the proposal came to light simply because 10 year is seen as a benchmark, a decade of long lost memories that needed to re-live at what ever cost.
There are some friends that we meet everyday, some were lost completely, some we met once in a while and some has become enemy. There are also a set of individual who are so passionate and proud of the school and the attachment to it’s history, and some think the school as just a learning place. There are people who, in their school time, defy teacher’s advice and break the rules and now becomes a teacher himself! How ironic! I heard a friend who in school I never saw drawing anything, is now a graphic designer, and some are so clever at school now are just a plain joe because the brain has absorb everything too much too early.
That is why we are the Penang Free School Class of 1999 students. We are different, we are passionate, and finally we are the brave and for the the true!
Fortis Atque Fidelis
