All I can say is ...what a turn out! I think this must be a sort of record so far with about twenty-eight alumni, family and friends showing up for the dinner. No hiccups with the reservations this time ..

I think everyone had a great time, eating and chatting, meeting old friends and making new ones. We welcome back to the fold Dr Pan Kok Chang from Batch 20 who was MIA for a while and turns out he was in PJ all this time! Of course, it was good seeing the familiar faces from the older and newer batches. 

Oh ya, we also had guests all the way from Japan. Mr and Mrs Yamashita, IATSS volunteers, who are currently on an extended holiday in Malaysia also joined us. 

Who attended the function: (in alphabetical order)
Azlan, Foo Chee Thong, Cheryl, Christopher, Daniel and wife Megumi, Faezah, Jayakumar, Jayanthi, Jenny, Johnny with wife Izumi and daughter Erin, Kian Foh, Nursheena, Pan Kok Chang, Priscillia and guests, Rozaila, Soraya, Tan Ju Nah, Wong Li Za, Zalina and last but not least, Zuraidah.  

(Ashizawa-san was in Malaysia from Jan 14-15 to interview candidates for the 33rd and 34th IATSS Forum Programme participants.)
