Regional Recognition Rally, Melaka

Some of my friends envy my work when they gone thought some of my event photos. In fact, there are a lot of challenges that we need to go through prior to the actual event.

A project leader must be a person who equipped herself/himself with overall leadership, responsibility, able to work under pressure, analytical/critical thinking, problem solving and good communication skills.

Most of the time, i have sore throat problem due to non-stop talking with different levels and type of people.

Organizing a team is a big step to ensure a successful event. Irrespective of how a team is organized, it is important to remember that each member of the group should view themselves as a team member.

It is important that those who are on the organising committee take responsibility for their allocated areas. Regular meetings and communication between members and the cordinator/chair are essential at this point. It is during these meetings that the little things that make an ordinary event into a great event come to fruition.

Go Melaka!

Jonker Street is a highly recommended place for those who would like to discover Melaka in an interesting and interactive way.

Fairiz and Alia's Wedding

The 'King' and ' Queen" of the day - Fairiz and Alia.

For the Malays, there are certain preliminaries or events which must happen before the wedding bells chime.

The first group of activities, all of which precede the actual wedding ceremony, consist of (a) merisik, (b) meminang, and (c) the hantaran or the sending of gifts and part of the amount of money (wang belanja) for expenses (wang belanja) which the boy’s family give to the girl’s side that will be incurred by the girl’s family.

The second group of activities consists of 'akad nikah' and berinai, while the third group of activities consists of berarak or arriving in procession, sitting on a decorated dias (pelamin).

"Bunga Telur" is a symbol of fertility and it is hoped that by giving out the bunga telur the married couple would be blessed with many children.

During the bersanding ceremony, the bridal couple will be seated on the dais and sprinkled with yellow rice and scented water by family members, relatives and guests as a sign of blessing.

Fairiz and I are working in different department. Fairiz always call me "sayang" in the office. I was so surprise when he introduced me to his wife. He said, " this is my sayang". I was speechless and felt embarassed. To avoid any misunderstanding, i tried to explain. Before i opened my mouth, his wife laughed happily and said," oh, this is the sayang u always mention in front of me!"....

What a funny couple!..make me sweat!.

I sincerely wish Fairiz and Alia-" Forever Love"!
