EVENT: Charity Birthday Project for IRM

Alhamdulillah, after about two weeks managing and organizing the small charity event. We managed to close transaction with a quite a sum. Honestly wasn't expecting it to be this much, even on the very last minute there was still someone sending in contributions, alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah ♥

One of the happiest moment of my life probably ❤
The whole gang on 31st August at Islamic Relief Malaysia Charity Shoppe including husband, Nazrul Hisham and my friends Kish Roslan, Yani, Natasha Hudson & husband Carleed. Thank you so much for all the supports that you've given for this mini project of mine. To IRM, I hope my small act shall create a ripple of effect that would bring goodness to our mankind, insyaAllah. Praying for the best.

Rambled on & on about don't know what during my improptu speech, seriously wasn't prepared for it.

Thank you so much darling Natasha Hudson for gracing the Charity Ceremony ♥

In the IRM Charity Shoppe there are a lot of books, toys, magazines, clothes (preloved & brand new), kitchen ware and loads of things you name it! All the items are sold at cheap prices, and are indeed very much can be used. Sometimes if there are people or kids who lives in poverty and came in for help, they simply just gave away the items to the ones in need. Otherwise the sales made will be used towards helping people all over the country and the world, regardless of race or religion without discrimination. Rest assured, your money spent here will make someone out there smile ❤ 

Best birthday surprise of the year, came from Islamic Relief Malaysia. I teared up when Country Director of IRM said one fine day in the world after he wish he would become my neighbor in heaven. Bawled my eyes out & ruined my eye makeup when they surprised me with the cake & sang "Allah Saves You". Of all people, I definitely did not see that one coming. Touched :") 

Potong kek pun nak emo, PANG!
