Occupied Weekends

Salam..

              I miss spending weekends at home lying down and wrapped in duvet with the earphones on. *lazy bum.  These past few weekends had been filled with events and lots of good stuffs . Just a couple of weeks ago I went to Ireland for a second time to attend a seminar. It was right after the last lecture that we took a cab to the airport and we even had our dinner along the way knowing there will not be enough time to do so before checking in. Regardless of the second visit, I still missed a chance to go to Giant's Causeways since each time I went to Ireland, it's always to attend a programme. 

Last week there was a muslimah nasheed event which was held in Leeds. I took part as one of the committees and opened up a food stall at the same time. As I was assigned as the prize officer, I was responsible to prepare the door gift for the guests. Maka malam tu bertungkus lumus saya bake kek coklat dan kek pisang plus our durian crepe together with Hidayah. We slept at 3 am. Tu pun atas sofa je and sambung buat durian crepe pukul 5 pagi. Letih. But alhamdulillah that our durian crepe and kuih sagu were selling fast. Everything went smoothly as planned and we even had much more participation if compared to last year.

Looks tempting right? They actually are. People kept asking for them even after they had gone off. Hehe.. Opening a food stall at any Malaysian events is a good idea I would say because you will gain a lot more profit than what you invested. Mesti laku punya.

There was also a nasheed event for muslimin been held yesterday in Sheffield. We went there a day earlier to take part as a volunteer in Sheffield Malaysian Games as they didn't have a good amount of volunteers to account for a huge number of participants. I had initially requested to volunteer in indoor games but my name was finally listed in Food unit. Hah..muka ni asyik jadi AJK Makanan aje =_=

I already knew the event will be flooded by a large number of Malaysian but I'd never thought that it was going to be that much. And guess what? I almost had my back broken to serve all those people. Nak duduk pun tak sempat. Tsskk.

Salah satu tugas saya kena bancuh teh tarik sampaikan keesokan harinya kalau terserempak dengan ex-customer, dorang dah bagi tagline "akak teh tarik". Ok fine.

Oh ye..masa ni dorang invite Khairy Jamaluddin gak. Sempat la jugak berborak masa KJ ni datang melawat stall. hehe

That's it for the Sheffield Games which left me to sleep for 12 hours on that night. haha. The next day we went to NEXT. They brought Faizal Tahir for this year's special guest artist as well as a judge. Overall, the event was awesome but I think the muslimah version was a bit more advanced in terms of their creativity and originality. Well it's just from my personal point of view.

That's all for now. Till then, Assalamualaikum.
