SELANGOR: KEBUN MIMPI @ GITA BAYU, SERI KEMBANGAN

On 15 May 2022, my wife and I attended the Hari Raya Invitation and Reunion of ex-High School, Setapak which was held at Kebun Mimpi @ Gita Bayu in Seri Kembangan Selangor.

The travel distance from our house in Lembah Keramat to Gita Bayu is 28.5 km and takes 29 minutes.

Kebun Mimpi @ Gita Bayu is a clubhouse with a steeply pitched roof typical of traditional Southeast Asian architecture. Built next to a man-made lake and garden, it is perfect for nature lovers.

Seri Kembangan was previously known as Kampung Baru Serdang in 1952, a Chinese village that was evacuated by the British during the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960) due to frequent communist harassment.

Mrs. Tan Aik Mong, the teacher who taught me during my school days, is still healthy.

On the left is my former classmate Fadil Buyong, younger brother of Dato' Khaidir Buyong, former Selangor football player and coach.

"Kambing Golek" (roast lamb) and "Kambing Bakar" (grilled lamb) are fast becoming a favourtie of ceremonies and events in Malaysia now. Marinated whole lamb with special herb served with black pepper sauce and coleslaw. 

This meeting is in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri and also the Reunion of former students of Setapak High School (1974-1978). How fun it is to be able to meet up with school friends again and even more fun to meet up with former teachers who are still healthy and who used to teach us.
