Allahuakbar

"Sekiranya kau berpenat dalam melakukan kebaikan, maka ketahuilah penat itu akan hilang, kebaikan yan kau lakukan akan kekal selamanya"
- Saidina Ali



6th Feb. '09

Halal Food Festival of Islamic Awareness Week. Tyrah & I were incharged of the promotion part. What we were supposed to do was find volunteers to cook for the food fest, and promote the event. To be frank, I didn't came to the meeting expecting to be given any sort of responsibility. I thought I was just another helping hand. When I was told what my duties were, i kept cool, but i didn't expect myself to actually do anything at all. I know, I sound seriously irresponsible for a dreams+teams young leader.

We had two weeks, to find cooks and to promote. The first 3days after the meeting, I didn't care at all. Sunday, I started feeling guilty when this playback of the meeting of Hijaz saying "Ni lah event paling penting dalam IAW tu". I didn't want the event to fall to pieces just because of my irresponsible act and laziness! Others have worked really hard, so I have to work just as hard as them.

Tyrah and I had LOADS of help, Alhamdulillah, and I'd like to thank each of those who volunteered to help. May Allah bless and give barakah for every single thing that they have done to help make the event a succesful one. Without them, I would probably be crying in the toilet alone, blaming myself because i kept on thinking "The food is not enough! THE FOOD IS NOT ENOUGH!! Your fault you didn't call enough people! Didnt promote well!!" Some tried to calm me down, but it didnt work. So I sat outside instead. Didn't dare to look what was happening inside.

Our Irish classmates came, which was a very pleasent surprise.


Ok, i gtg shower+sleep now. Its 2am. I have the hijab fashion show thing tomorrow. Yes, it has runways and sparkling lights on the sides of the runway. The set up is like those typical new york runways, in a smaller scale. And un-pro models. So , gnite!
