Okay first of all i was kinda sad bout this cus for sure he is my sultan of my state and besides that he was like my 'atuk' after all. I have met him when im in form 3 i guess when im attend the wedding of Tengku Bendahara Johor and this wedding is private, just the people that have been invited can come to this wedding. My dad has been invited to come there. So well my dad bring me and my family to went to the Istana Besar Johore . And it was a wonderfull night. The first time i met him and i saw his character and it was so cute, adorable and sweet. I said to myself oh u should be my atuk. I salam dye time dekat Istana Besar. And he asked me "r u still schooling?".. What a memory i have.
Sure you guys were like asking to yourself how can i went to the Istana Besar right !? Ouh its because of my dad people. My dad was the Johore hockey team manager. Every year we have been invited to went to 'Raya' at the Istana by the Tengku Bendahara Johore. And i got duit raya from him. But unfortunately not every year we went there. So yeah! Thats all i can share with ya. Others i just cant. Sorry.
