Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor Lecture Series

The Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor Lecture Series is an anuual series of lectures organized by the Malay Girls' College / Tunku Kurshiah College Old Girls Association. Each lecture will be presented by an invited speaker who is a distinguished 'old girl' of the MGC/TKC. The lecture series is named in honour of, and launched today by, Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor, wife of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, who is also an 'old girl' of Tunku Kurshiah College.

Of course I was there to watch this special event :) Took one day leave just for this occasion :P

Hmm.... well, not really :P

Another reason why I had to take leave was to visit my sister, Dr Na who was hospitalized at Kajang KPJ Specialist Hospital, after an operation to remove some fibroids (kebetulan it was her birthday - aiyoo... why la chose your birthday to do this operation sis :P ). Alhamdulillah, she was getting better. By 10:15am, I left the hospital for Putrajaya. Luckily Kajang to Putrajaya is just a few mins away :)

Jom layan gambar... :)

Was quite early arriving in Putrajaya, pusing2 cari OGA Building around Jalan Diplomatik, Petrojaya ni (Been here a few times! Tapi masih tak hafal jalan... huhu!) Then I saw this banner. Ohh... there you are! :D

After registration (saw my name was under table 'Mawar'), since I was still early.... sempat lah jalan2 area dining tu to take pics :)

The arrival of YABhg Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor.
And oh yess.... I did shake hand with her. Twice! ;)

Emcee for the day - Kak Khairiyatun Azlina :) Great job (as always) Kak Lina! :)

Opening speech by OGA YDP - Puan Sri Datin Seri Fauzah Mohd Darus

Launching speech by our First Lady, YABhg Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor

For this first DPSRM lecture Series, the lecture was presented by the distinguished Professor Dr Adeeba Kamarulzaman (batch 7580). The title of her lecture is 'Needlessly Dying : The Twin Epidemics of HIV and Substance Abuse in Malaysia'. Sounds so serious kan? But I must say it is quite an interesting topic! It is sad to accept the fact that most Malaysians who were involved in drug abused are Malays :(

Kak Adeeba presenting her lecture

The OGA Hall was full - not only with the old girls, but also with representatives from the media.

Departure of YABhg Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor. She was late for her next appointment, so she had to skip lunch with the OGs - just too bad.... huhu.


The rest of us on the other hand... enjoyed the lunch!!! :)
Lunch by Kuzie Catering - superb food!!! :)


Menu for the day - opss... sorry a bit blur...

The "Mawar" table - this is just "part" of the food served ok! Lots of delicious food was served! Sampai tak larat nak makan.... huhu! Kenyang sampai malam... I tell you! :)

My tablemate for this event - Kak Ajue :) I was so glad and happy to have a familiar face sharing the same table for lunch. Kak Ajue dear... we had so much fun, kan? :)

There was a fashion show during lunch. Some OGA girls were modeling clothes designed by our very own designer, Kak Ita (if I am not mistaken) -

Kak Fuziah modeling one of the 'OGA look' fashion collections... Hmm.... nice design. Siap ada batch OGA tu.... tapi tak gamak lah nak pakai... takut kena kutuk with those friends of mine yang 'anti-tkc'.... alaaa... diorang tu jealous kan?! :P

Left Putrajaya around 3pm.. siap tapau a few lauk.. hik hik!! :D The lauks are for my mom who I left at Kajang KPJ Hospital with my sister, Na. Kesian dia tau... tak makan nasi lagi. Left Kajang by 4pm. On the way back, dropped by at my eldest sis' house in Sri Damansara as my mom wanted to pickup 'something'. Got the chance to lepak2 for a while with my bujang college-going-nephews - Ashraf and Farhan :)

Such a wonderful day I had today.... *bliss*

Can't wait till this Sunday... another OGA event - The long awaited OGA Day!! Woohoo!!!! I am soooooo looking forward to meeting the girls again!! Can't wait!! :D
