2 years ago, during HOME@St52, an annual carnival organised by PPIS-Jurong FSC, i took part in the free flu vaccination exercise.
2 years later, i got a really bad flu bug, conquering my immune system, few days before HOME@St52.
Sux?
Kinda timely....
A full circle of humaira's screwed up internal system.
Other than that, i've been busy with work (what else is new), missing my family (esp my cousins), attending weddings (witnessing BEAUTIFUL brides *smile*) and of course, being happy =D
Life's a bliss.
Alhamdulillah.
Should my life be portrayed as a musical, i would be dancing kewl moves, upbeat tempo and rapping away happy words! And of course... romantic songs too.....
As i'm swooned over by the beautiful songs from Puteri Gunung Ledang, the musical.
Excellent Eastern love story.
A STORY which authenticity is sooo secondary.
Cinderella wasnt real. But its still one of the most popular fairy tales ever known to children, isnt it?
Let the Puteri be the Eastern Cinderella then.
And Hang Tuah?
Hmmmm.....
Call me judgemental, i never like him (the character) ever since i picked and read sastera Melayu during Secondary school. Blind obedience to the leader, with no insight and incapable of having independent thoughts, as portrayed and analysed from the literature. However, the portrayal of Hang Tuah is different in PGL. Handsome, suave, pandai berpantun, good with words....[yawnzz] I still prefer Jebat, a no-nonsense man, cunning, creative and most importantly, assertive in standing up for his opinion. A challenge, and ideal for modern women *wink* Should Jebat be the Hero in PGL... hmmm, i wonder if the ending will be different.....
Should my life become a musical, i'll get tired of hitting the high notes. Hence, welcome the colourful pills that 'beautify' my life.
Technically speaking, my health has been a disaster of late. I have noooo idea what causes it, as i swear i took care of my health prudently (ie, sleep before 2am, eat fruits, eat... basically) But the flu bug wasnt merciful to its target. It hit me with the highest temperature of 39.8deg. Virus spread to gastric system.
Alhamdulillah... the colourful pills help combat the bug. As much as i hate swallowing the bitter cure, i have human beings surrounding me nagging endlessly to ensure the 8-hourly activity.
Now that Humaira's great wall of immunity is built up, insyaAllah.... i cant wait to get back to work and continue my pursuit to ensure the success of the carnival. Can't wait....
Fundraising activities...
There are few ways people can do:
The short and smart way, with minimum manpower, or
the huge and traditional way, with maximum resources and manpower.
Both work.
In Social Work, the latter seems to be more preferred.
Fundraising is not only about the output of the funds being raised.
Its the awareness, the amount of energy being galvanised to support a particular cause.
Its outcome: priceless.
Therefore... as much as people cry, tired, get fatally sick out of organising a fund-raising activity, we ALL know, every tear, sweat, vomit and pills swallowed, is for a cause. The tougher the journey... the sweeter the victory. Its ALL part of the process bebeh~
Hence, do not underestimate traditional fundraising effort.
On that note, i invite you to share PPIS-Jurong FSC and our beneficiaries' sweat and effort in our pursuit to raise funds for Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund. Dont let our children miss essential education only because they have no money for transport or food to eat during recess time. Its UNTHINKABLE in a modern and civilised society like ours. Unthinkable!
I'm appealing to your compassionate nature to support this cause.
Lets Seed HOPE so as to Realise their dreams.
Begin with supporting School Pocket Money Fund.
Hope to see y'all there!
