From feedback so far, the door gift (mug & shopping bag) were well received, the buffet spread was delightfully sumptious, the hotel's FOC birthday cake was fantastic, the drinks were sufficient to keep drinkers happy throughout the night, the hotel facilities & service were excellent.

In response to feedback from our previous reunion in Feb 2008, speeches were kept to a minimum. Principal Mr Wong gave a quick & informative update on the school's achievements, being among the Top schools in Selangor & have overtaken our erstwhile rivals in KL. The Brasserie was open until 11.30pm & the bar & foyer until 1.30am to allow maximum time for fellowship. The last guests left the foyer about 2.00am. Those who stayed at the hotel were also happy with the hotel's facilities. The 10 persons who stayed at Maya Hotel continued the party at 9.00am the next day over breakfast.

Due to the overwhelming business of fellowship that night, we were not able to appeal for support from fellow classmates to join as members of the MBSKL Alumni Association, for which Chiang Quan is the current President in the 2nd of his 2 year term. We attach herewith a membership form & would appreciate those of you who are not members yet, please print a copy, complete it & send it with your cheque to the address stated in the form. Please write your name & address at the back of your cheque & email me when you have sent your form & cheque. Our group supports the Alumni & quite a few of our classmates have joined. Any enquiries reagrding the Alumni can be directed to me.

The Organising Committee would like to thank everyone for your co-operation & wonderful spirit of fellowship for a successful reunion. Our sincere thanks to the spouses for their patience, understanding & supportive spirit.
