CHKL 90TH ANNIVERSARY GRAND DINNER

First of all, thousands of congratulation to my dear ex-school CHONG HWA INDEPENDENT HIGH SCHOOL (CHKL) had reached a milestone of 90 years old. It had served this country for nearly a century and producing a lot of good and highly educated students including me of course. It was not easy to maintain a school without the goverment support and thousands of thank you again to those who supported CHKL for past 90 years. Hope the school woll continue the good job for the following years.



This was a top view of CHKL. Located at Jalan St. Thomas, Off Jalan Ipoh, KL.





To celebrate the grand anniversary of the school, the board of director had a great plan to held a grand dinner at the school. Why was it called a grand dinner? This was because about ten thousand people will be attending the dinner with purchasing a ticket for RM50 and the money will be donated to the school improvement fund. As an alumni of the CHKL, of course I will give some support to the event of the year with action, purchased tickets for the charity. Actually, I wasn't planning to attend this event, but last minute plan again. Thanks to Teressa again, rang me up for the dinner. Of course the same things happened, I was late again. Picked her up sharp at 6 pm and heading towards the school.





When we reached the school, it was so packed. The guest coming in were more than the students studying in CHKL. It was awesome. The teachers and staffs were busying for the day, walking here and there, helping some parents to find their table and ushering the VIP to the grand hall. The red polo tee was a teacher on duty on that day. She was the BM teacher during my fourth year in the school.


See the crowd. CHKL had become the the busiest place of Jalan Ipoh for the day even it was a holiday.



Actually. the dinner named as 万人宴 in chinese, means that 10k people feast. Of course CHKL got enough space for the 10k crowd. 7 basketball court, 4 volleyball court, the hostel canteen, the parking area, the grand hall (VIP) , every compund of the school was occupying by tables and chairs covering with tends.


Projector and ampifire was everywhere to let the whole school compund what was happened in the grand hall. Let them watch the love performance through the projector and hear the specch by the VIP.




The menu of the night

1. The Five Happiness
2. Crab and sharkfin soup
3. Prosperity chicken (not mcd one)
4. Thai style fried fish (sek nad)
5. BBQ pork knuckle (I thought halal one, Lmao)
6. Boiled Ming prawn
7. Ikan Bilis fried rice
8. Longan Ice (dessert)

You can get those progamme of the day by viewing this handbook. I regret that I never stole one for rememberance.


And the highlight of the day was, I met her. She was one of my closest friend during my high school days. We had not meet up for a very very very long time. She was very very very busy with her assignment, until I feel guilty to call her out to have a cup of tea and chit-chat. Thanks for accompanying me the whole night, if not I will feel freaking boring through the night.

You know why our prime minister Najib photo was hung on the main blokc of the school. Because CHKL was proud to invite our beloved PM for the grand dinner. Of course they are serving halal food for the VVIP. I got no chance to shot a photo of our PM, because I wasn't a VIP that night. I think cash is the only way to make you into the the VIP area, because most of them sitting inside were donating more than don't know how many thousands Malaysia Ringgit. I just earn a chance of sitting far far far away from Najib (PM was sitting in the grand hall and I was sitting on the edge of the school next to the KTM railway off the fence) by paying just RM50.

Hope to attending the feast again in the coming anniversary and I will be sure that I am sitting the table beside Najib (if he still leading Malaysia) and take photo with him.
stay tuned!!!
