Stomach pain, sudden cold and sweaty palms - This is the condition whenever Raihana feels so nervous. Sue just texted a reminder of tonight's meet up regarding our course event: Archi Raya which will be held on next two weeks and guess what, I'm chosen to be the emcee!
I was delighted at first and I am still now, because it's going to be lifetime experience in university but somehow I feel so nervous and anxious at the same time that I'll be talking in front of ALL YEARS of students who take Architecture; Zafwah, Xander, Pasak - you name it!, ALL LECTURERS and the department staffs. Yep, this feeling will fade by right after I get my confidence back but as for now, this is what we're getting.
I've thought on some activities we could do at front to entertain the audience like do a sudden kuih raya taste test on random student and if he/she guesses right, will be rewarded some duit raya! Apart from that, exposing the culture of Hari Raya like showing some Raya video footages from my local friends ohhh and a Selamat Hari Raya wish in foreign languages with some culture-sharing speech like Zihao might have some dumplings on Hari Raya? Will attach a short lecture about the meaning behind Baju Melayu & Baju Kurung too it would be educational for everyone! Oh-ohhhhhh I just got a new idea where everyone is given a plain sampul and got to design it within 2 minutes with only A MARKER or A PEN and then we can do like a lucky draw at front and the chosen sampuls (at least 3 - 7 persons) , the owner shall be rewarded some duit raya as well!.
I really hope the performances from each year will be out of this world (AMEEN!), may my partner for the emcee / hosting stuff is hilarious and humorous so the event will not be like a dead-party aaaaa still in decision though for this part but despite of thattttt I can't wait to prepare the script asap for next week we have a hell ton of submission and not to forget to add lots of classic Malay pantun and fancy English poem lolllll.
Anywaysssss I am planning to don my mom's Batik Lukis - Baju Kurung and to rock some minimal make up, HAHAHAHAHAAH I NEED TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL THAT DAY WALLAH. May Allah loosen the knots from our tongues so people can understand what we say, may Allah bless us with fluent English and smooth communication, insyallah may He easeeeeee!!!
*Yes, slowly gaining my confidence back for currently I'm listening to Suci Sekeping Hati by Saujana , suddenly traveled me back down the memory lane where I delivered a speech when I was in highschool :) Those days were the best, I've been so at my highest (but not as high in uni, but still the best la) where I sang a piece of the lyric in front of everyone. Wishing to own the same level of confidence and calmness la during the Archi Raya insyallah hehe. :)
You got this, Raihana. That day will be yours!
