SMK Puchong Permai

I was invited once again by the school counsellor of SMK Puchong Permai, this time with a specific focus on Road to Success as part of the SPM 2025 motivation programme... the session aimed to provide early preparation and mental readiness for students who will be sitting for the SPM examination this year... the majority of the students came from B40 family backgrounds, and many shared real and challenging life situations - some plan to enter the workforce immediately after finishing school, while others are already working part‑time at food stalls and eateries until late at night, sometimes as late as 1.00 a.m., before attending school the next morning in a state of exhaustion... these realities highlight the significant challenges faced by students today as they juggle financial responsibilities, work commitments, and academic expectations... through the motivational activities and sharing session, I sought to help them recognize their potential, build resilience, and strengthen their sense of purpose... it is my hope that the motivation delivered can ignite their fighting spirit, encourage them to stay focused on learning, and inspire them to persevere despite difficult circumstances as they journey towards success in SPM 2025...

Microsoft Excel Training

I was required to attend a 2‑day training session at UNITAR International University College in Kuala Lumpur, and I took the opportunity to travel conveniently by accompanying Naja to and from using the LRT via Taman Melati to KLCC... from KLCC, it was only about a 10‑minute walk to the training venue, making the commute comfortable and familiar... the journey unexpectedly stirred nostalgic memories of the past, back when I used to commute regularly on the LRT from Taman Jaya to KLCC with Christopher Xavier during our time at PERNAS Hotel School... we used the very same walking route from KLCC towards Menara Kenanga, a path once filled with youthful conversations, ambitions, and shared dreams... walking that route again brought back vivid recollections of those formative years, turning an ordinary trip for training into a meaningful reflection on how far we have come while retracing footsteps from a cherished chapter of the past...

Abg Man Open House

I met Abg Man during Ami Mohd’s open house, where he warmly invited me to attend his own open house later on... it was meaningful to learn and be reminded that Tan Sri Syed Azman bin Syed Ibrahim is my second cousin, and he had been especially close to my late Abg Mohsin, which added a deeper personal significance to the visit... being there allowed me to finally gather with extended family members, catching up after a long time apart... the open house was gracious and welcoming, filled with familiar faces, heartfelt conversations, and a sense of togetherness that truly reflected the spirit of Raya... the atmosphere was calm and respectful, yet warm and familial, making the occasion a valuable opportunity to strengthen family ties and reconnect with relatives in a meaningful way...

Ami Mohd Open House

it was my first time attending Ami Mohd’s open house after being invited so many times over the years, making the visit especially meaningful... all of my siblings had attended before, and I was the only one who had never managed to make it - this time, I finally went after being gently persuaded by Walid... the moment I arrived, it felt both familiar and touching, as I had the chance to meet my uncles, aunts, and cousins from Tok Bibi Zaharah’s side... many of them smiled and asked, “is this Munir?” - a simple question that clearly showed how long it had been since I last appeared at their family gatherings... the open house was warm and welcoming, filled with conversations, laughter, and shared memories, creating a pleasant and sincere Raya atmosphere... despite the long absence, the reception was kind and heartfelt, making the visit feel worthwhile and reminding me of the importance of maintaining family ties, even after time has passed...
