Our little JJCMM2 led a donation drive initiative for our ATPN88 batch. Someone shared Raja Shamri's call for flood kit donation. As usual, kalau dalam group yang ramai hanya akan ada comments like; "Jom buat", "Jom, jom" and nothing gets done. So, our friend Ude suggested we take up the task and we all agreed. Geng JJCMM2 kan mostly either entrepreneur, work from home, or free-lance. Boleh lah commit masa.
I created a banner since I was forced to volunteer myself as the treasurer. We did a 14-day campaign and alhamdulillah by Saturday last week, we managed to collect RM1,800. Our initiative - to create flood kit for ladies. We planned the "rewang" activity last Sunday. Sempat pergi KL dulu jumpa our friend Ikin aka Toncet for breakfast before heading to Subang to buy the stuff and later on to Jay's house. The day sounded simple but the actual effort was tiring and crazy. I said to myself - nak cari pahala sebenarnya bukan senang. Mesti ada cabaran. The cabaran was mostly the waiting game, the finding the right stuff game and the tunggu-kawan-entah-kat-mana-korang game.
Jumpa Ude and Ikin kat Masjid Negara dulu. The day was hot and I walked a long way from KL train station (via this route which happened to close that I had to go one big round instead... sigh). So, pardon the oily and sweaty face!
Selepas makan nasi lemak Tanglin, jumpa Ies dengan Linda kat parking. Oh ya, nasi lemak Tanglin? The nasi lemak kat pasar malam Seri Putra is 10x more awesome. Seriously. Just give it a pass. Nothing special.
From Masjid Negara terus ke Mydin Summit. Ies dan Linda fetch Jay dulu. Then, Shake joined us there. Beli barang kat tingkat borong. Memang best sebab orang tak ramai. Tapi agak seksa sebab certain items are stored in their storage which the assistants took ages to find.
At Jay's house. We were joined by Tuty, Syiqot and Rose - who happen to be blessed with the gift of getting generous sponsors in the form of kain batik :)
We managed to pack 120 flood kits. Not many, but still quite an achievement for us. Ude sent a message to Raja Shamri with our photos and he posted on his FB page. Nope, that's not the "perk". He personally replied with a beautiful doa that makes out efforts so meaningful. Semoga Allah merahmati beliau and menganugerahkan beliau dengan sebesar-besar anugerah atas usaha-usaha yang beliau lakukan. Pesan dia simple saja - jom buat baik!
