I am thinking of ‘closing’ down this site since we have one on Facebook which is very active. If you are not on facebook, do sign up as it is FREE. And then join the group Seaportians United:

Anyway, the school (now called SMK Sri Permata) is organising a reunion. Details are as follows:
Date: June 14 (Saturday) <-- That's tomorrow
Time: 0900hrs
Venue: Seaport/ Sri Permata school
Quoting the Facebook mail I received (which was sent on behalf of PTA vice chairperson):
"Dear Friends of Sekolah Menengah Sri Permata.
… This letter is basically addressed to all the friends of Sekolah Menengah Sri Permata. You are called friends because you have passed through this great school as a former student. You would have in one way or another benefitted from this institution be it in a big way or even in a small manner. By virtue of the fact that you have spent a great portion of your early growing up years in this school would have left you with lovely and fond memories. Though for some it may not be that pleasant going through some difficult moments with your most “hated” Geography or Mathematics teacher. But as you now reflect back you would certainly want to thank those “difficult and no nonsense teachers” for literally wanting to force-feed you with facts that is so unpalatable. Memories such as good friends who have helped you or challenged you to aspire to score better in your Chemistry paper or your most favorite Physics subject.
To all of you that we firmly believed make up the bulk of the Friends in the Face Book, we would like to invite you to join us, the Parents Teachers Committee and Teachers of your alma mater on this 14th of June 2008 to relive some of those wonderful memories and renew your friendships with your Friends. We would also on that day officially launch our Walkathon 2008 with the wonderful tagline “Walk For Comfort”.
We warmly welcome you.”
Now not only does the school have a website, they also have a blog (http://sripermata.blogspot.com/)!
In case you are wondering what is the difference between this and the alumni… I really don’t know.
Good idea. This site should not have existed. In fact they should also close off Seaport School. The organisation has been there for too long. The building itself is worth quite a bit of money. There should be a shopping mall or condominiums at that Seaport site. Or even a business center would be goood.

Would be good to see that one day, Seaport will be a condominium with swimming pools and a gym.

then 5 years later, Seaport shall be forgotten. 10 years it shall be a folk story. People would say like “Hey long time ago there is a school called seaport.” people would like at you with a ?? face. Then the teacher’s will try to tell people about their story. It shall be a distant memory.

Just watch Jumper last week on dvd. I just dislike lining up at the cinemas. Reminds me of those dreadful days when we have to line up every morning and listen to Rahimah bitching. 5 years of talk can be summarised to “IT IS ALL UR FAULT. YOU ARE THE CAUSE OF MY BAD DAY.” Can’t she just say this and get over it. Duh ! So should seaport be demolished ??? Yes It should go. And hopefully they build a mall on that site with a cinema, so that I do not have to find parking, queue in the jam and worst LINE UP to buy the tickets.

So someday, I would be going to this mall and sit in a star bucks store and look this used to be The Prefects’ Room, hahahahaha. And hey this used to be the teachers’ office turned IT avenue selling PC Hardware. Good Good Good. Then going back to school would be great fun. Hahahaha.
