Tuesday, October 9, 2007
“Alhamdulillah! RPMCG's Iftar Has Ended.. Thanks To The Organising Committee for their Efforts.. And Thanks To The Members And All The Guest For Their Participation.. Without You All, The Event Won't Be As Successful.. I'm Sure The Spirit Of RPMCG Covers The Unexpected Glitches.. I'm Quite Impressed With The Extra Effort Of All The Members.. And The Gotong Royong Spirit That We Had Was Very Commendable.. It Touches Me When I See People Working Hard, Running Here And There Just To Make Sure Everything Runs Well.. Kudos Everyone!”
~ by Muhammad Zulazmie, President of RPMCG
Salam all! ^_^
Adeih maaf ehk lambat post.. berat jugak keje reporting nih.. Nak mintak tukar can? Hehe =P Okay takpe, moving on~ here’s the first batch of selected photos from Iftar! Yeh!

Oooh here it is! An Iftar with a twist.. 'Cos we had Captain Ball this time around! Siap dengan Sports Court lagik woo~ Check 'em out in action! =)
And.. after that came the prize-giving session for the winners! Congrats2!~ But not forgetting a special speech on Ramadhan from our President Zulazmie and invited speaker Mr Terence Nunis beforehand. Note: Do Click Here for Zul's Script or Scroll down to the end of this post for the Short Video (Thanks Taufik!). Really amusing yet equally meaningful too~ =))
And while some were seated at the stage area, other MCG members quickly rushed off to the dining space & started preparing for the Breaking Fast! Bentang kain saprah, siapkan light meal semua.. whoa! It's a big2 gotong-royong time~ Best! =D
Alhamdulillah.. it was finally maghrib~ But a large group of us helpers were still busy preparing drinks for our guests. Mega rush hour! hehe.. Lepas semua dah dpt air, barulah hati lega cket.. & terigt nak buka puasa :D Memorable jugak time tu.. kongsi2 makan honeydew, watermelon & epok2.. Sweet! (Oh yes! Thank You 'Arifah for the really yummyy Bubur!) ^_^
So we all continued with our heavy meal after maghrib prayers, followed by Solat 'Isyak and Terawih soon after.. =)
Cleaning up time~ the Ladies were then busy packing away all the fruits & food, washing the dishes and even rolling the big prayer mats.. and it's Guys' turn next to carry them all.. Kerja keras semua yeh =)
Listen out to some of the witty extracts inside! Kekek sehh.. Haha =D
"And so, let me introduce to you this year’s theme for our Iftar. “With A Spirit”. (The spirit here is not the “Ghost” spirit but) the spirit here represents the strength of the heart, mind, body and soul. And I believe that during this holy month, Our hearts become more generous (Just like me, donate every time I can), our mind reflects on the happening around us, where some part of the world, people are suffering (We remember people who are less fortunate, like you all get a chance to play ball, they all play skeleton, they throw skull to play Captain’s Ball), our body withstand thirst and hunger (You all fasting but you all have the spirit), and we purify our soul by doing good deeds (Like what I always do, I always do good deeds, by feeding all of you). Something to share with you that I guess many people don’t know is that every part of our body is fasting. This means, our tongue must be restrained from gossips (Right Taufik? Stop Gossiping!).
The eyes must restrain themselves from looking at unlawful things. (Like just now you all look at different things, but you all don’t look at unlawful things) The hand must not take anything that does not belong to you (So, if the food belongs to me, don’t take from me). The ears must refrain from listening to things that we are not supposed to hear.(That’s why I don’t even bother to hear you all) The feet must refrain from going to sinful places.(And that’s why you all are in RP Iftar) In such a way, every part of the body observes the fast.."
