SPLASH before Ramadan! + Potluck

It's been a while, so let's make this next event extra fun! We are going to bond over water fights before Ramadan comes at Wet World, a water theme park located in Shah Alam (directions below).



Date: 30 July 2011 (Saturday)

Meeting place: Wet World entrance at 10am. Even if you arrive later, just buy a ticket, enter, and follow the group with the most noise :) As much as possible please keep the attendees limited to alumni only, please :)

Price: RM12 (pay on the spot)

How to go:
- By Car - check Google map - 'Wet World Shah Alam'. Parking is free! It's next to an aquarium/fish shop.
- Public transportation - [By rail] Get to Shah Alam KTM Station, then get taxi to Wet World (shouldn't cost more than RM10 - come with fellow returnees and share the cost :). [By bus] Bus U80 (RM2.50 one-way from KL Sentral) will stop in front of SIRIM Shah Alam, then you can walk to the theme park :)



Attire: Shirts and shorts/sweat pants are allowed. If possible wear AFS shirts so we can take some nice pictures.

To bring:
1) Towel and change of clothes.
2) Food (potluck and smuggle in style! - bring something that everybody can enjoy!)
3) Flip flops
4) If you have water guns, BRING IT. If you have balloons suitable to make water bombs, BRING IT.
