PPN - a friend in need is a friend indeed..

Bismillahirrahmanirraheem
Alhamdulillah, after days & weeks of stress & rushing to beat deadlines, there's some free time to at last update this blog. it's been sooooo long!

PPWN & PPN are finally over,alhamdulillah. Good remarks & responses keep our spirits up, at least till the post mortem, hehe.
It wasn't so bad actually except for a few hitches here and there. Biasalah tu... Keeping cool is of utmost important when having to deal with last minute 'requests'. Everything looked good & in order - my part at least! Tried my very best to keep things up to date - registrations, payments, photostating etc, and was quite pleased with myself :)

Then the desperate call from Nahdia... 'makcik, was it me who was supposed to handle the cenderahati??' She must have missed the discussion! poor her, what with work inPJ, kids and all in Hulu Kelang, and... the new boss!
Alhamdulillah we made it in 2 days! after running around getting all the materials during the day,on the first night, we were all still in PKJ came midnight! A BIG THANK YOU to all the JIM AJ ladies who came in drove to help - after getting the S.O.S SMS!
Getting the stuff ready wasn't the end of the story... there were 12 big & HEAVY boxes to be taken to Darul Puteri!!

I thought all was nicely planned! kita rancang, tapi Allah juga rancang ,& perancangan Allahlah yg terbaik!
our original plan was : Friday Lan will send me to DP for PPWN, then he'll take Fairuz to LCCT for her flight to Kemboja. Ulfah, Zharif & Filzah need not be registered for aulad & nursery progs - baba wil be around!Nice plan, though i forgot that it'll be on a friday!
Then one week prior to PPN, Lan told us he had to go up to Genting Wed-Friday for a seminar! Alright! we'll all go up! Thursday evening he'll send me back & i'll drive to DP. Fairuz?? she'll be arriving wed afternoon...we'll pick her up before going off. Good ol' anca', she agreed to come over & spend the night with Fairuz while we are not around - only for one night, as i'll be back Thursday insyaAllah. He he i've even made arrangements for yaton to send Fairuz to LCCT,now that Lan won't be around.. smart me! all settled!

Came wednesday,there were still lots to settle! Goodbye Genting!
wrong info from asma' - Fairuz won't be here till Thursday! Thank you anca'!!
and we spent our wednesday night at PKJ ....

Another hectic day, and after maghrib Thursday,off we went to DP for the rehearsal, and another looooong night.....finally, past midnight we slowly climbed our way up to the second floor... the seven of us were really looking forward to a good night rest in the 7-bed urusetia room.. hee hee, but it was not to be... 4 beds were already taken!! perwakilan outstation who arrived early were put up in there... not to worry, the four budak2 muda Karisma went down to the van to get the comforters that i brought, just in case.... lesson learnt, be prepared, life is full of "in case's"!

Registration was smooth despite the 'no-show' of PPWN tags!!
We thought,let's just sweat behind the scenes, pray hard nobody notice!
But of 'cos the KW WILL definitely notice, and boy! will she be mad! More calls, more sweat.

Finally the tags came and discreetly distributed . Some were surprised! Yes, they hadn't noticed (yet!) that they had the PPN tags on!!
From then on, for me, time to concentrate, tunaikan amanah dari ahli - i was the perwakilan.
and THANK YOU Jawaher for taking time off to send Fairuz to catch her flight. Really appreciate that. Moga Allah rahmati & berkati kerana melapangkan urusan saudara mu - a friend in need is a friend indeed!
