A chance to repay society


RECENTLY, I attended my university alumni reunion dinner. It was the first time I had gone for a function of that nature even though the alumni has existed for the last eight years. I don’t know what exactly made me go. Other than the social aspect, what’s a reunion for? And apart from the Australian friends I had made at uni, I didn’t know many Malaysians alumni members that I wanted to meet again. Still, I was coaxed by an old friend into purchasing two tickets. The money would go to charity, he assured me. 

As both my sister and I had attended the Adelaide University in the 80s, it made most sense to rope her in as well. So we both went to the Hyatt Regency Saujana Ballroom expecting a good dinner and maybe to see a familiar face or two.
