21st Anniversary Charity Carnival @ Darul Ma'wa

assalamualaikum, readers. 

Last Sunday, I put aside some time for this Charity event even though, I had a long day for the past two days. I still managed to wake up early and go to Bugis for this event with my aunt. Its been a while since I last volunteered for an event. I agreed to help and alhamdulilah, it was a success.

Let me enlighten some of you, readers, about Darul Ma'wa. Darul Ma'wa is also known as Jamiyah Children's Home is a Voluntary Welfare Organization (VWO) established by Jamiyah Singapore(Muslim Missionary Society Singapore) which a full member of the National Council of Social Services in Singapore. 

For this charity event, it is to celebrate their 21st anniversary and its like a bazaar where the public can rent the stalls and the earnings/profit will go to Darul Ma'wa. Instead of using money, we used coupons instead to buy the items and the vouchers are everywhere, of course, you need to find the relevant officers. They will hold on to the vouchers and you can purchase them. 1 voucher is $5. And after using the coupons, you can put the voucher in for lucky draw. Who knows, you might win something? Hehehe. No, I didn't win anything. oh waaaaait, I did win something. I win an experience. HEHEHE, got you! 


Back to the charity event, the owner of the stall was my aunt's friend, she was selling fritters. 6 types of fritters. Banana, Sweet, Vegetables, Anchovies, Prawn and Onion. And, I am the assistant. Of what you ask? My aunt cause she was the one who mixed all of the ingredients. There were packets of flour for different type of fritters. Super busy on that day. Flour all over the place,  flying vegetables, water everywhere, messy but it was worth the hard work. The fritters were gone the minute after they put on display. Some even reserved because the fritters were still frying when they wanted to buy them. 

There were many food stalls like burger, banana fritters, cupcakes, churros, drinks and more drinks(cocktails) and etc. Sorry, its fasting month and I am here listing the food they sold there. Sorry okay?
So, overall, you know what bazaar is like right? They even have song request booth. A band called "Jentayu" set up a booth and the member of public can just request or even sing with them, provided you have a good voice or confident of your voice. Confidence mau lebih! 

Besides that, they had prize giving for the children, specially for those who done well in school and also performances by various artistes to grace the event. 





And, alhamdulilah for the event and also, I can checked this on my bucketlist, weeeeeeehoooo~
Well, I love this kind of events, not only you gained experience, you might get to know new friends, and dapaaaaat pahalaaaa tauuu(rewards!). Do attend this kind of events in the future, okaaaay? (: I have another volunteer event on 12 July. Look forward for the post! 

till here,
Ramadan Ya Kareem to all of the muslim friends
in the world. 
(:

assalamualaikum, readers. :) Aida Azlin asked in the Sisterhood FB, my biggest lesson this year so far. And I said that, "I learnt that the dua you made at a certain point in life which you really wanted at that point of time, does not need to be answered immediately because Allah has better plans for you in the future. And to get to the things you wanted or even better, you will have to go through his tests and he will reward you greatly. And this year is the year that almost of my dua has been answered. Alhamdulilah for all the blessings he gave me. "  This year was so good that I did not mange to write them down. Allah gave me a job that I fell in love with. I got 2 upcoming school trips. I got to be involved in Introspeksi 2018 again but as a crew which often people overlooked. But it is important as it is. I tried Netball again, a sport I left for 11 years because of aurat. I assist the kids in Netball ECA. Do you know how happy I was? To rekindle love again for

Hong Kong Day 2-4.

assalamualaikum, readers!  Day 2 post for Hong Kong is finally here. The month has been hectic as Ramadhan is here and also, in between, I run out of energy fast as it was spent at work with the kids. Back to this, basically, Day 2 was just Disneyland. The rides are mostly family friendly meaning more kiddy rides than thrilling rides. I have never been to Disneyland so I decided to start my first Disneyland Journey in Hong Kong. And, ohh, when you saw the train to Disneyland, you know you were going to a magical place. The insides of the train were cute too. From the handles, to the statues and even their windows, how can I not fall in love?  10 April 2018   Hong Kong Disneyland Lantau Island, Hong Kong $88 via Klook App. The park was big and thus, lots of walking. Upon reaching, I knew that I really want to eat the Mickey Mouse waffle as I had been seeing on other people instagram and no, it was not that extraordinary waffle that had fireworks in your mouth,

Dear Nenek Bibi.

assalamualaikum, readers.  I am sure you've heard the recent natural disasters that happened and also, prior to that, I have friends who lost their loved ones and I have been sending my love and condolences to them. Losing the people we love and when it repeatedly happen, we have to keep coming to terms that they are no longer here on this earth. No longer that figure that we see often at home or during gatherings/hari raya. I lost mine in the midst of having Terminal 2 rehearsals and she was someone that I looked forward to meet when I went to Batam. Every single time I saw her and had conversation with her, my heart just swells with lots of love and happiness. Whenever we parted ways, she always say, "datang selalu, kenal saudara nanti kita dah takde, dah terlambat. Doa untuk nenek ye, jadi kita boleh jumpa lagi. " and that, left just words. I looked up to her because she always on her zikir count. Wherever she was, she always zikir. She never forgets Allah at
