Early Birthday Part 2

So on Sunday March 8, after church, Christine, Jnel, Susan, Zhi Shu, Joon Gil, Chun Zhong and me went to Church HQ to help prepare stuff for the event. Before that Christine called us all to ask if we can help to be staff for the event, Peace Convocation : Power Of 10 Sen Gaza Dibela. We all agreed and met after church and went to HQ. At HQ, we did allot of work, pack the power of 10 sen donations box, cut the registration form, staple the form, make the name tags and decorate the big power of 10 sen donation box. We were all exhausted after finishing the tasks, it took us 8 hours and we were all very hungry. So we quickly arrange the stuff to be brought to tomorrow's event, clean up the place, and then we took our bags and went to buy food. After buying the food, we went to a member's house to eat our dinner and wait for our driver to bring us to NTC. After eating, everyone gathered outside the hall and asked me to come out from the kitchen, and when i reached there they took out a piece of cake and started to sang Happy Birthday. Oh my gosh, again ! I had a present on Saturday and then this surprise on Sunday. It's the second time, the first was last few years in a church workshop. It was dinner time and they gathered everyone in the hall and then a uncle say someones birthday is coming soon and we are going to celebrate his birthday today, and they bring in two buckets of KFC. Then now this year, again, you guys really don't have to do this, really really unnecessary. But thank you so much, and to all please don't ask me to pick up the candle with my mouth ever again, i don't kiss candles ! But it really wasn't a 100% surprise, i suspected it, because when we were working at HQ, they keep using weird codes, vegetable and rice. It was very obvious, because they are talking about that and excluding me, so it was something to do with me, and this month is my birthday, i though maybe they where going to do something for my birthday, but then it was too early. I also though maybe they are gonna play some prank on me, with the vegetable or something. So guys, next time be more smart, so that people can never ever think what you all are gonna do, not even a thought. 

Okay, after that our driver arrive and we went to NTC and head straight to bed. We were too tired. On the next day, the event day, Yuyi, Johnson, Takatoshi and Billy came and join us, also to help with the event. At the event, we were staff at the Power Of 10 Sen counter, it was very confusing, messy and exhausting. We carry the stuff to the counter, stick the posters, set up the place, prepare the brochures, greet people, ask them if they would like to donate, prepare more brochures, store up the ushers bags and others. We were all very busy. The host of the event was Juliana Ibrahim ( the host for So You Think You Can Dance), many VIP came, the deputy prime minister's wife also came, Suki and Jaclyn Victor also came to sing. It was a great event and a great experience to be staff (although my whole body hurts after the event), and I hope that all the money that is collected can truly help the Gaza children. Even though it's 10 sen, but if every single person in Malaysia donate 10 sen a day, imagine how much is that. So why 10 sen you say, why not 1 ringgit or more. Because everyone can afford to give 10 sen, 10 sen is so little that people think it to be ridiculous and will therefore be inclined to give. Little drops of water make a mighty ocean and little 10 sen coins can build up into a meaningful amount able to feed many mouths in Gaza. The Power Of 10 Sen.
