For this instance, I could not agree more. A soul, an event organizer, saw our henna artwork from Simply Elegant fan page, sent us a private message and invited us to do henna at Heeren. It’s not for a one time-off thing, it’s for 3 consecutive weekends!! Alhamdulillah. Ka-chings!

Neither my partner, Nana San, nor myself know this person. But yet Allah had planned that one of our sustenance will come through her. MasyaAllah! And to top it off, the deal was made quick and easy. Again, I couldn’t thank Allah enough for giving such ease to us.

So on 18 June 2011 at 6 pm, there we were … ermmmm … actually I was there all alone for the 1st 2 hours as Nana San had prior appointment for her bridal services. Frankly, although I have been doing henna artwork for so many hands already, this event still sent goosebumps to me. Erk!

Immediately after I sat down, the first customer arrived. My hands were shaking! Shaking especially hard since I’m always doing henna as duos, and there was I, all alone (self pitying mode… Heahea~).

Anyway, that was really a big challenge for me! Especially when you have no one beside you to assure you that everything is fine and you are doing great. My mind was totally blank. Not a single idea of what to design on her hand.

So I kept on telling myself,

“Ok stop being a freak Zah! You can do this! You have been doing this so many times already!”

That’s how I comforted myself. Finally I took a deep breath and GO!!! Well, the hands shook alright for the first few mins but then once the brain started to focus, the henna cone just went on smoothly. There I was … in my own world! Khekhe!

The response to the henna design was AWESOME! People were queuing and waiting patiently for their turn. In fact, the organizer was telling us that our booth had the most crowds. 3 hours just passed in a blink of an eye. So was our 2 weekends. Alhamdullilah. This week will be our last weekend. And again this time round, I will be there all alone. Nana San is out for her bridal services. InsyaAllah the hands won’t shake as much after that first experience

By the way, if you want your hands to be henna-ed, do come down to Heeren from 6 – 8.30pm tomorrow! If you cannot, don’t be afraid cause I will be there on Sunday too, same time and same place! The best part… It is totally FREE! So come… come… I’ll be waiting!

Meantime, you can check out the designs we made at the event, the fun we had and the satisfaction from the customers
