Finally it’s done. The 85th anniversary celebration was finally over. Last night was the final leg, with a concert at the Esplanade. In my 7 years of coordinating and managing concerts, this was my most extensive and expensive production

It took me almost a year of planning and coordinating between various units, departments and divisions. With lots of last minute changes and requirements, it does increase the pressure on me especially the last three months. However, I managed to remain cool and thanks to the support rendered by colleagues, friends, supervisors and loved ones.
As this could be my last project, I am glad it ends well….a nice closure of my career indeed…..I mean 2010.

Last week was also the final day of Didi’s wedding celebration. Preparation took many months with helps from siblings and in laws. Every detail is looked into and discussed. . On the final day, everything was well executed. Even the decoration was beautifully done. Its time and effort well spent.
.
The joyous ‘bersanding’ ceremony was attended by family members, friends and relatives.

Alhamdulillah. Didi’s nikah is over. It was last Saturday and the day starts with heavy downpour. With His blessings, the rain stops just before we leave home for the Japanese Garden for the akad nikah and reception. The event went on smoothly till the end. All those that were invited came for the reception and my siblings, nephews and nieces help us through out. Not forgetting friends of my daughter as well.

My sister Anah and sister in-law Rafiah came early morning to cook for us and our guests at home. Fahmi drove the bridal car, Irfan and Fahris took charge of the car park, Yanti, Tini, Sarah, Nadiah and Nani manned the reception counter and ushering guests assisted by Sandy my wife’s niece. Two of Yantis friend were stationed at the entrance near the MRT station to lead guests coming in from there. My brother Razni and Brother in-law Osman were the witness for the ‘akad nikah’. Brother, sister, in-laws, nephews, nieces and friends, we appreciate your helps. Thank you.
