Hussain Bin Yaacob, ’94 writes that, “it was good to hear from Pam. It reminds me of those happy moments when we were at CDE.I still remember my first winter there. It was bliss and cold lasted about 3 months. I especially loved seeing my kids playing in the snow in our front yard. Everyone would then huddle around the heater afterwards, cheeks all red, sipping hot chocolate by the window while looking at the snow hitting the pebbles on the ground. I wish to return to those happy days. There were unforgettable too, when we were almost had an accident due to the slippery road on our way to Berkshire Mall. Thank God everyone was safe.

Currently, I am working at the Prime Minister’s Department as a Deputy Director at the Economic Planning Unit. For your information, I now have 7 kids (4 doughters and 3 sons). They’re all grown ups now. The elderst has started working after finishing university, the second one is in her final year at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia and the third is in her second year in University Malaya, Kuala Lumpur.The forth and fifth have just starting university in July this year, while the last two are in high school in Putrajaya.”
