MC Rayyan - Part 2

Genius Aulad just posted about last weekend's event in their blog: geniusaulad.wordpress.com

These were photos of Rayyan captured on our camera while he was waiting backstage right before the start of the event...


These are photos I stole from Genius Aulad's blog.. hehe


More photos from the event...


It was fun to watch the how the kids performed.... as mentioned by Genius Aulad Executive Director... "it's imperfect but we certainly cherish their imperfection.."

Can't wait for Rayyan and the rest of the 6 year-olds to perform on their graduation day at the end of the year...

MC Rayyan

This afternoon was the day where Rayyan became the MC for Genius Aulad's musical showcase. Together with his classmate, Risha, they were the only kids from the 6 year-old class in the event at the Dewan Jubli Perak, SUK Selangor building in Shah Alam.

Sepatutnya only 3 members of the family yang dialu-alukan untuk datang. It turned out that 6-7 people per kid yang masuk auditorium tu. Just imagine... the musical showcase was performed by more than 600 kids (4 & 5 year olds) from 10 Genius Aulad centers. How did you think the auditorium fit in all (or most) of us? There was hardly any standing room!

Just edited some videos and uploaded them below.








Will blog more about it later... :)

DIAAAAM!


Hahaha... lately we've been hearing that a lot from Rayhana's mouth. DIAAAMM! and on other occasions.. DUDUK DIAAAM!... and STOP!

We never say those words at home.. so I guess she must have gotten it from the nursery.. and most probably those words were addressed to her! hahahaha

Just a couple of days ago I noticed that Rayhana has started to say "complete" phrases and sentences... like "papa what's that?" "what's this?", "mama nak susu mama..." or "mama nak tetek" instead of "susu nak", "tetek nak", etc... and she is VERY the mak nenek now... membebel ntah apa-apa.... hehe tak larat pulak nak layan.. haha.. we believe that Rayhana cepat belajar from Rayyan.. asyik ikut je apa abang dia cakap... but not as fond of TV shows as the brother though... Rayyan learned a lot of english from TV. We'll see how this 19 mth-old girl turn out...

Anyway, Rayyan's rehearsal gig was posted on the Genius Aulad blog at geniusaulad.wordpress.com . Here's a photo I curi from the blog..


Hopefully he does well this weekend, insyaAllah... :)

Rayyan's gig rehearsal

This morning was Rayyan's MC gig rehearsal at the auditorium in Shah Alam. No outsiders allowed. They were supposed to be there from 8.30 and be back to school by 12pm. Bila I went to pick him up the teacher said pukul 1 baru nak bertolak dari sana.... sheesh.. balikla gi ofis.. bought some lunch and then kona balik gi rumah... rasa macam pening2...

Then at almost 2pm I went to the school to pick Rayyan up... rupa2nya baru sampai... okla..

Asked Rayyan how it went. He said ok. He said the teachers said he was ok. I asked if he held a mic and the script in his hands.. he said mic yes, both hands.. no script.. he got it memorized... wah budak ni.. betul ke? Will only find that out on the day of the event itself.

Been trying to get Rayyan to practice the script he "memorized".. but he always said he will only do it "at the stage".

Okaylaaaa.. terpaksa la tunggu... so proud of him already. There will be 600 four and five year-old kids from 10 Genius Aulad centers performing on stage and Rayyan and Risha (a girl from his class) are the only 2 six year-olds handpicked by the Genius Aulad management to be the MCs. For that I'm proud gila babi already hehehe... tu belum tengok dia jadi MC betul2 lagi.. hehe

I always gauge Rayyan's accomplishments to what I experienced at his age. YUP, I have an elephant's memory. At his age I participated in nasyids, and was 1 of 2 representative of my Tadika At-Taqwa to go to an agama quiz kinda thing peringkat Wilayah Persekutuan... won some trophies... hehe.. had that photo somewhere before but I believe it no longer existed after the incident where my mom burned all photos she could get her hands on... coz masa tu adala dia terdengar mana ustad ntah kata gambar-gambar ni haram.... but that was ages ago.... when the ustads were not as open minded as now... coz obviously they have not seen the ouside world for them to make any informed judgment.

Anyways, I figured, if I turned out ok going to an Islamic kindie, Rayyan should also follow what I had gone through by going to an Islamic kindie like Genius Aulad too... hehe.. and so far obviously, so good... :)

Got a million bucks?

... or know anyone who have a million bucks to give away and not expecting anything in return?

Introduce them to me! hehehe... got loads of ideas that I need to convert into action.. and the only thing that is limiting me is TIME. I am slowly working on things that I want to do and because of me doing it alone, it will take ages to see my ideas bearing fruit... so to make sure the pace picks up several notches, I need MONEY!!

Maybe not a million bucks in one go.. but in several installments... I would settle for RM20k monthly... purely invested on business... not to be used for upgrading my car or whatever.. I'm pretty much happy with my Wira & Kelisa...

People from all over the world I've met who have seen my work and know of my capabilities like and support what I do. I just need some kind souls who would invest in me expecting nothing in return!

I don't wanna put up any hopes for the investors 'coz my ideas COULD fail, although I don't see how when I get the all the help I need. I will definitely return the favor by giving back the money to them in small amounts gradually... or better yet, allocating a certain percentage of the profits from my ideas to charity under the investor(s)' name(s). I have plans to involve NGOs and charitable organizations as well in most of my projects.

Why don't I take up business loans?

Don't want to pay interest. Don't want to be worried by the fact that I have to service the loan every single month at a fixed amount. Don't wanna be slaved by the bank. Don't wanna be limited by the amount they would give out, obviously 1 million bucks over a 5-year repayment period would be something that I would not be able to repay monthly.

So far what I've been doing for the past few years was a lot of thinking and more thinking, and building up on my ideas, researched on a lot of stuff (which explains my countless hours of web browsing), and making things work bit by bit, only to be limited by my own effort, time, and money. EFFORT & TIME - I can definitely put in , but definitely need to apply the multiplier effect by getting more people to help me out. MONEY is something that even the ASB could not give the multiplier effect I need.

I think it's high time that I resign from "SENDIRI" Sdn Bhd (I know Nana & Mozard will be laughing their asses off hehehe) and concentrate on making Shakespot Sdn Bhd really happen big time!

The potential investors should NOT ask for any report or paperwork/presentation or whatever with regards to what I plan to do or how I plan to execute my ideas.... those stuff are all in my head and putting them on paper is such a waste of my time. I do lots of paperwork in my head.. my head does the editing as well, improving on the ideas as I see more positive enhancement to them.

So... does anyone have and/or know anyone with a million bucks to give to me and expect nothing in return?
