We started from Johor Bahru a day before the much awaited day. Checked in at Hotel Sentral-KL on Friday 21.5.10. The Hotel was exactly beside the Monorail Station but unfortunately we do not hv the time to take a ride. I noticed that all the roads around this Hotel has Indian names, Jalan Thamby Pillai, Jln. Tun Sambanthan......etc Most of the stalls and shops were owned or operated by Indians.
On Friday Night, we took a drive to Mid Valley. Bought some tit bits for our stay at the Hotel (Isn't it normal to eat lots during holidays??).Had dinner at the Rasa Mas Restaurant. We were quite dissappointed with the "Ayam Warisan", were supposed to be a quarter chicken but turned out to be a small piece of chicken, more like a bird...........ordered 4 bowls of porridge, 1/4 ayam warisan, 1/2 Hainan chicken and 4 drinks. The total price is nearly Eighty Malaysian Ringgit. Would not mind if it were delicious but the only thing delicious was the chili sauce. Could have a dinner for half the price at KFC though. Anyway, what's done is done and we must be eat smart the next time.
Early the next morning, my son drove us to The TNB Headquarters at Bangsar for my Husband's function. Luckily he decided to take the trip with us or we would have to take a cab as we don't know our way around in Kuala Lumpur. We started off early, reached the destination at around 7.30a.m.and many of the Recipients and spouses were already waiting outside the hall. My son? Back to Hotel as he was not invited for the function (Only recipients and Spouses/representative) are invited.
At around 7.45a.m.,we were ushered into the function hall.I must admit that the Organiser had the Itinery well planned. There were a few committees to show us to our seats. The function starts at around 9.00a.m. and while waiting, there's a slide/video show about TNB and Electricity to keep us entertained. They even gave a mock presentation of how the Recipients are to receive their long service award , although I presume that they already knows how to do it since they have already done it during their 25 year award.
At precisely 9.00a.m., TNB"s Chairman Tan Sri Leo Moggie and his Wife Elizabeth Moggie arrived with the CEO Dato Sri Che Khalid Mohammad Nor and Other members of the Board. The National Anthem and TNB's song were played and after that , we were treated to a short sketch which really depicted the true life of a dedicated TNB Staff .Very Entertaining. After the relevant speeches were made, the Awards Presentation beganl. There were more than 600 recipients in the morning session and they presented it albeit like a graduation ceremony.

Staffs who were on "Standby".
It was all very systematic and well planned. My salutations to the Organisers and the staffs involved in the preparation and function of this Long Service Award Presentation. After about 300 Receipients received their awards, there was a break to which a Nasyid group and another small comedy sketch were presented to keep us entertained and to avoid anyone dying of boredom. Then it was back to the Presentation of the remaining Recipients. At the end of the function, a representative of the Recipients went up to make his speech and to end the Ceremony. All in all, it was an amazing and systematic Presentation and function, ending with a delicious lunch.
The Award of A 10 gm Gold Coin depicting the Years of service.
On behalf of my husband, I would like to thank The Management of TNB for giving my husband the opportunity to serve in this Prestiged Company who is immuned to Staffs' Welfare.
During this trip, we also had the opportunity to meet up with my Sister in Law and family from Taiping who co-incidently came down to KL for my niece's Convocation at Uitm- Shah Alam. We also caught up with another sister-in-law and family from KL and they treated us to Dinner at Muara Ikan Bakar at Port Klang. All in all, it was an enjoyable trip and I wished we would be able to go for another trip soon.
