ANGKASAWAN 2007

Kelana asked me to write something about this historical event since I was there at KLCC (not Baikonur Cosmodrome eh) during the launching ceremony. I was there to learn and watch how the event was carried out. Although I was there as an observer, I've ditched the 'title' soon after the PM arrived and joined the crowd as guest...eheheheh.

I sat in the middle of students' table. So, it's quite happening hearing them cheering when the Soyuz lift off the earth. My feeling...well it's a mixture of excitement and anxiousness. The unfortunate event of Challenger explosion years ago clouded my mind. I think whoever still remember the event, would probably have thought the same. The crowd was cheering loud and deafening when the space shuttle left earth ground. I don't think that was a wise idea. Yes, we can cheer but keep it to a minimum. We should say our prayer and hope that everything will be okay. And thank Allah that everything went okay that night.

When the camera focused on Dr SMS's face, he looked so scared. I think he froze for a while. Well, who doesn't? I froze when on board a plane, especially during takeoff and landing. I hate flying. Even though the new Superman said, it is safe to fly statistically, I don't think so.

After a successful launch, the ceremony at home and Baikonur continued. Our PM and MOSTI's minister was having chit-chat through video conferencing. Before the launch, an American astronaut (forgot his name. You can read on the paper...hahaha) gave his side of the story about the journey to the stars. Exciting!

I went back very late around 11 pm that night. Overall...it was okay. Even though, there was a bunch of Muslim guys sat behind my table who did not even lift their butts to perform Maghrib, Isyak and Terawikh solah. Hmm...I have come to the other side of the corporate world which I sadly think very different from the world I have been for the past 5 years. Then, I have become the alien myself on my home planet.

    Aiyoo... muslims failing to perform their solah is sadly NOT sumthin new maa... especially in this home country... and the crowd cheering rather than citing prayers? It's Malaysia. To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia.

    And Superman can say what he said because he doesn't need any aircraft to fly. If he's in one that is about to explode or fll to the gorund, he wouldn't get a scratch! Ekekekekkekekek...

Kena cabut ke?

Oleh Izza Hani -
Aku selalu tengok iklan Petronas dan Shell mengenai keselamatan menggunakan gas memasak. Yang aku ingat tentang tips-tips keselamatan yang dipaparkan sama ada melalui Maria Tunku Sabri JJCM (Petronas) ataupun Raja Azura a.k.a Kak Engku (Shell) atau iklan daripada Filem Negara Malaysia (kalau aku tak salah ler) ialah cara bagaimana hendak memeriksa kebocoran gas dengan menggunakan buih sabun, jangan letak tong gas anda dalam posisi baring, jangan letak benda panas di atas tong gas, guna tiub gas yang ada cop SIRIM, tukar tiub gas dengan kerap dan banyak lagi. Malangnya dalam banyak-banyak tips tu, aku lupa sesuatu. Aku hanya diingatkan sebentar tadi oleh seorang rakan sekerja. Katanya, setiap kali selepas selesai menggunakan gas memasak, kita sepatutnya tutup gas can cabut kepalanya. Selama ni aku tak pernah buat pun. Masa balik kampung aje aku cabut kepala gas. Tapi kalau pergi kerja, masakan cabut, pusingkan suis kepala gas pun aku tak pernah buat. Kawan aku kata, kalau tak tutup kepa...

Aku memang tak berapa pandai nak menggoreng bihun. Selalu kalau balik ke rumah ibu mertuaku, biras yang rajin goreng dan mendapat pujian. Jadi aku tak payahlah nak tunjuk skil.

Kat bawah ni, aku kongsikan resepi dari blog beliau. Disebabkan aku copy pasta tulisan beliau, maka aku italic font tu menunjukkan itu hak cipta penulis asal...ngehehe.

Sambal hangit

Oleh Izza Hani -

Seharian menjadi fasilitator bengkel penulisan membuatkan aku keletihan dan selera makan bertambah sikit...er...banyak ekekekeke (bilalah aku dapat kuruskan badan sesaiz zaman belajar dulu ek?). Anyway, rezeki aku pun murah hari ni bila dapat bawak balik kari ikan tenggiri dan nasi yang berlebihan. Balik rumah terus panaskan sambal bilis kelmarin. Biasalah...sambal bilis hayat panjang. Oleh sebab aku leka mencuci botol susu kakak dan adik, tak perasan pula hangit sambal aku. Masa makan, baru perasan kehangitanya. Tapi taklah sampai pahit tak boleh telan. Tengah sedap mengunyah, aku teringat masa zaman sekolah di asrama dahulu. Disebabkan lauk asrama - nasi kawah, ikan jaket, asam pedas air hujan -tak begitu menyelerakan, maka aku dan kengkawan selalu bawa sambal bilis. Selalunya aku bawa sikit aje sebab tak mahu susahk an arwah nenek. Sambil bilis arwah nenek memang sedap. Sampai hari ni walaupun menuntut ilmu dengan dia sejak kecik, aku gagal meniru sambal bilis nenek. Dah bawa sikit ...
