It was only my third attendance at the MGC/TKC Annual (now Biennial) Fund Raising Dinner and it was great to meet up again with friends and teachers of our school years. This time the venue is the Shangri-La Hotel in Jalan Sultan Ismail, KL.
Before the dinner, there was the chance to mingle in the lobby with old friends, senior and junior. There was of course the usual "Teka ni siapa?" Guess who?, because some faces are unrecognisable with the passing of time. And we are talking some forty plus years of lifestyle changes since we left TKC Seremban.

Our TKC 64-70 group sat at two tables, generously sponsored by RT. Thank you for the very kind gesture that enabled the twenty of us (+ our ex-teacher

The food was Western fare with salmon as main. The entertainment was Adibah Noor singing and there were dances too, including by the 'old girl TKCians'. The highlight of the evening was the launching of the book "The Legacy; Tunku Kurshiah College Seremban", by DS Rosmah, the wife of the Prime Minister, also a 64-70 TKCian (the wife not the PM, obviously). In fact the PM also gamely stayed on for the after dinner
One 'Red Carpet Moment' of the dinner event that I need to record here was meeting up with our ex-biology teacher, Puan Hasnah Ali. Most of us had not met her since we left TKC in 1970, so it was most nostalgic for everyone. She may not remember every single one of us because after all we have become grandmothers, but we all certainly remember her and the biology lessons she taught us then.
