Run, Don't Walk

In The Name Of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
Recently we just had our Running Muslimah 2.0 in Kursk, where the girls and I were among the organisers. We had our first RM about 4 years back so we decided to make a comeback with bigger locations to cover.

I wanted to play, but just the thought of me running makes me feel I should just be a station master instead. (I don't run, yeah)

So here are few pictures with few words!

Opening + A little tazkirah about Women. :D

I was glad we could start pretty on time; I've may mentioned before that I didn't like waiting. So we started around 10.15 am, with a little bit of introductions of ourselves; cos some of us didn't know each other. We had Adiba and Shazreen (our netball guru) to lead some stretching and light exercises. Then we played a get-to-know-tennis game; whereby we throw the ball around and whoever caught it, must tell others 1 fun fact about themselves.

About 11am the Activity Master briefed the teams about the games and gave them the map of the route.

The route was given ahead

My station was with Afeq;
We had the girls tested of their anatomy knowledge. We held out the card with the labelling, and they need to tell us what it is.

(this was said to be one of the difficult station, haha)

Afeq and I
my partner in crime; hehe

Food Station ; test your senses!
we had two cups of coffee; one of it is with fish sauce
two cups of orange juice; one of it is with chilli
and two scrambled eggs; one is dark coloured

they were rewarded with roti canai!

happy kids :)

testing your patience;
you have to move the items to your plates using the chopsticks

it could be candy

it could be corn

some had rice grains ><

testing your basic Islamic knowledge
while getting it right altogether
if you got it wrong / one of your teammates got it wrong,
you have to drink kefir.

kefir is some fermented sour youghurt milk

we had one stations where you need to blow the flour in order to get the write papers - written of good akhlaqs. here's the outcome.

We then tried to play the game ripping tag game. Unfortunately it got so violent and there was so much adrenaline (and maybe rage) so we changed the rules a little.

Then one of the girls had some accident so we decided to call the game quits and the organising members called for an urgent meeting to decide what shall we do in order to determine the best group.

worried worried!

this is more violent than it seems, haha

calling it quits!

how we settled it? with a game of rock paper scissors!

yeah, just that.

but it was still a moment of palpitations!

congrats to purple team! :D

best runner goes to : Syakira :D
look at that Golden tag, will you?

we learn not to play the tag ripping game ever! it was so violent. omg. it seems all cool and fun on tv, but in real life it's so much harder. I was told the cast member of runningman even got badly injured and had some operations done due to their health that was compromised.

in summary, it was all fun and well time spent, indeed. I'm so glad I get to be part of the team and had this wonderful experience with these amazing girls.

jazakumullahu khayran :*

love love love you all ❤

Thank you girls! See you in the next event :)
