Peace Be Upon You...
Jumlah saya menetap disini, di Kampung Plymouth khususnya di University College Plymouth St Mark & St John (panjang namanya) ni sudah mencecah 2 tahun cukup2. Makanya menjadi tradisi pelajar2 disini ialah setiap tahun mereka akan mengadakan Festival Malaysia atau lebih dikenali sebagai Malaysian Festival. Makanya dua tahun saya berada disni makanya, 2 kali sudahlah saya terlibat dalam menjayakan Malaysian Festival ni dan pada masa yang sama turut serta bergembira sebab inilah satu-satunya event besar yang kami ada disini hehe. Namun disebabkan tahun ni merupakan tahun terakhir kami disini pelajar Malaysia mempunyai 2 batch, makanya ini adalah Malaysian Festival yang terakhir akan kami adakan sebelum the last batch will be back for good nanti iaitu tahun depan, 2013. Disebabkan Malaysian students kat sini tak begitu ramai seperti universiti2 besar lain si UK ni, maka acara kami tidaklah sebesar dan semeriah event uni lain mcm Nottingham dan lain2.Tapi disebalik semuanya, I really have fun during this festival which were held on the 3rd May 2012.
Untuk menjayakan Festival I was put under Exhibition division yang tugasnya secara kasar ialah untuk menyiapkan peralatan2 dan bahan2 untukdipamerkan pada hari tersebut. Dan tugas saya pulak khusunya untuk jadi tukang lukis inai. Tak pernah-pernah pulak saya sepanjang usia 23 tahun ni melukis-lukis inai kat tangan orang tapi apa nak buat orang dah tugaskan kita jadi kenelah berusaha menyahut cabaran dengan hati terbuka, maka saya pon belasahlah hehe. Buruk ke cantik ke memang x jadi hal sebab memang dah tak ade pengalaman.I was lucky to be given 2 assistant on that day that will help me through the event. But unfortunately one of my assistant could be at station on that day because her parents came to visit from Malaysia so most of her time were taken to entertain her parents instead. Tak kisahlah sebab jauh tu mak ayah dia datang jadi saya pon bagilah dia time untuk bersama keluarag tersayang. At first i thought that they wouldn't be too many people will be visiting our booth but when the festival actually starts at 9 quite a number of people swarm our booth. Lagilah ramai org berkunjung untuk diinaikan bila tahu yang the henna painting thing is free of charge, awesome gitu you!! Luckily we manage to do this with only four hands, walaupon agak kelam kabut sebab pelanggan beratur tunggu giliran. At the end of the day, my hand tremble so much as i used my energy to press the henna tube..hehe...sampai my pelanggan asked me, 'Are you okay dear?" Malulah pulak sebab sampai terketar2 lenguh memicit inai but that was the most exciting experience i ever have.
Saya rasa sangat2 gembira bila lepas siap tangan seorang-seorang tu diiinai, diorang cakap, awesomw,brilliant. Rasa berbunga-bunga hati bila orang puji macam tu. Padahalnya buruk ajepun kerja tangan saya tu, tapi biasalah mat salleh ni semua pon diorang cakap cantik. Yang tak boleh tahan pulak, sorang-sorang tu ada yang datang 2-3 kali kali sebab nak penuhkan tangan masing-masing. Yang ni biasanya budak2 sekolah sebab diorang jakun sikit bab2 ni, xpernah tengok jadi bila kita lukis satu tangan diorang datang lagi 10 minit lepas tu bagi alasan ter-smudge lah tangan dia pastu mintak i fix his hands and the next asked me to draw on his other hand la pastu suruh tambah lagi on his wrist la. Macam-macam anak orang puteh ni but i had a really great fun that day. Bukan saja saya yang seronok but my friends as well. We really had fun that day, we even have a tradiotional Indian dancing group showing off their talent as well, silat and few other great events going on. Dan antara booth yang mendapat sambutan hangat selain henna painting booth is the Calligraphy booth where they offered service writing your name in Chinese calligraphy and Khat. Ramai sungguh orang mengerumuni diorang untuk ditulis nama. Sampai x menang tangan diorang duduk menulis. I was so happy that most of my lecturers took part as well in our Festival this time aound. My programme leader,Katy Salisbury was my first customer on that day and she very supportive of what we were doing. Bila event berakhir sekitar pukul 2 petang, I was like drop dead tired and went straight back home and after solah, couldn't do more except sleep until i missed a meeting with our accomodation officer at 5 hehehe
