This one as shared on starians9296 mailing list… jari dah kebas so I won’t re-write:

So aku sampai agak lewat sebab tayar pecah somewhere around Tapah. Ada sorang mamat India ni stop macam nak tolong (ulat le ni)… rupanya tolong tengok je… terlepas la aku nak tengok opening. Sampai bebudak dok lepak kat Lot 10.

Bebudak yang aku ingat ada…

Stone, Mc Sex, Aku, Hadi, Sam, Hasril, Bedah, Bodent, Komeng, Katik, Ayam, Nyok, shasha, Efi, Derek, Robot, Capang, Sadao, GE, Adipek, Rizman… lagi aku tak berapa ingat… opek (nasib baik aku tak lupa)…

Then kekucar kaciran terjadi masa registration - gile ampeh takde system lansung. Then mahal RM150. Dapat beg, termos, batu kristal 50 years, magazine aturcara (aku rasa), tag ngan Cap. Aku rasa baju+termos+batu kristal tu kalau diorang tukar bagi baju kemeja lagi bagus. Ke neck-tie ngan pin ke… boleh gak guna hari hari…

Then aku chow sebab nak check in. Then aku, derek, boden and family gi Kinta City makan lunch. Pergh dah lain lah Ipoh. Selalu aku datang terus gi STAR je. Roundabout dah takde dah, infact dah ada fly-over kalau dari north-south h’way tu boleh naik flyover turun depan gate STAR. Pekan ipoh pun dah lain sikit… parkson dah takde. Kat Ipoh Dynamic still ada… tempat Im (Ibrahim - black) cuba mengorat awek dengan ayat skema. Tapi aku rasa dah kecik. Aku ada dinner kat TKK ngan family that evening - makan kat Ah Seng… ramai gileeeeeee budak STAR. Batch yg lebih senior pun ada, diorang pun layan Ah Seng rupanya. Dia nye Lai Chee Kang still ok tapi dah kurang ingredient (maybe costly). Jam kat tengah tu dah tak jalan then memang la ni ada taman permainan yg boleh bebudak main kat situ. Kamdar still ada lagi… Lido ngan satu lagi panggung wayang tu dah jadi restoran ngan kadai baju… tu tempat faveret robot + aku + chot gi layan wayang every weekend (chot cam biasa tak layan wayang, tapi follow).

Pas lunch + check in, gi tukar tayar kat TC then masuk tengok sports. Ada khemah main paintball (aku tak main pun)… ada clown, belon2 untuk family (tapi penuh ngan student star)… then gi white tengok Katik, Megat + Bedah rehersal. Bedah dah macam anak 10… dahi jendul gile… anak berkepiiiiit je ngan dia. Aku rasa dia takut tengok muka brutal abun (hehehe). Then gi basketball court jumpa Cikgu King… dia kata dia tau dulu masa PPM Perai curi2 melados =).

Then aku gi padang ragbi tengok STAR vs STAROBA. STAR menang 7-0. Opek main… 2nd half tak full time. Tapi old boys menang cheer… bebudak STAR aku rasa cheer pun tak tau. Kat padang hoki diorang layan main bola… announce kat surau suruh turun cheer tapi haram nye cheer… setakat jerit cam orang gila tu budak SamTet pun boleh buat.

Then balik dinner ngan family and later that night join dinner. Dinner paling hampeh sepanjang ingatan aku… makanan dining hall 100X lagi best. Ramai yang konplen… ada senior yg siap nak ngamuk ngan organizer tapi last2 cabut je makan luar. Bukan tu je, artis pun hancur - Shayla… tah minah mana tah perasan bagus tapi hampeh. Seating arrangement berterabur…. Mc Sex menang kettle walalupun dia target menang keta savvy for lucky draw. Pastu battle of the band mula lewat gile (aku rasa sepatutnya takyah si Shayla tu, terus je band)… budak batch muda called themself The Scuff nyanyi lagu tah hapa tah… macam kena dadah je bebudak tu. Tak berbutir… nanyi apa… then of course the show saver, band of 36! megat and gang (katik, bedah, stone + ayam) with m nasir medley menerima tepukan gemuruh - best show of the nite. Then after that batch of 87 - ok la, tapi coordination takde… singer dia feeling gila babas… aku lupa nak cakap, agak memalukan bila diorang buat laser show yang nampak tak ubah cam old DOS screesaver… ada ke patut masa brass band buat lagu dinner, laser show tu tunjuk citer earth evolution… asteroid jatuh, dinosaur mampus, etc etc etc…

Malam tu, Venny ada datang - so korang yg tak datang melepas le… she’s still hot as before! really! =) Then Mano, Pak Cheng, Harmain, Tan Teong Leong, Dawa, etc…

Then after Megat’s show, kitaorang gerak benteng… sembang benteng. Banyak la gak diceritakan - Alab dengar kata nak dapat baby… balau nak kawin (jeng jeng jeng) dan banyak lagi le… around 1.30AM, aku gerak balik while bebudak bujang dan yg perasan bujang (for that one nite) katanya nak gi layan karaoke….

Next morning, dekat tengahari baru sampai… nothing much in the morning. Aku beli buku 50 tahun STAR ngan DVD pengkisahan - ada orang cakap DVD tu 2nd piece sound quality out! (kena rip off lagi)… baju aku tak beli sbb mahal but Komeng borong boleh tahan… aku melawat Blue… as suspected, macam kena bom. Sepah gile! Bebudak cite form 5 duduk asing… yg lain duduk house. Kiub dah pecah - except for some house (tapi dah dikunci). Mini marathon dah pupus… Tapak gym tu cam kena tsunami… gi dining hall nak lunch… organizer tak sampai… so kitaorang makan dulu. Yama baca doa… cam biasa kitaorang amin je… makan much better than dinner - ada air soya … heheheh.

Then organizer pulak buat cipan cakap grand prize nye cabutan lepas AGM… shit… majority of the boys chow time ni.

So overall, it’s great dapat jumpa Cikgu… Zul, Harmain, Pak Cheng, Dawa, Mano, King, Venny, etc… dan of course jumpa bebudak batch yg lain cam Abun, etc…

But the event itself, sorry to say nothing to shout about. Poor organizer… poor logistic and execution. Such as waste for 50 years/gold jubilee…

Nanti ada masa aku add gambar… orang lain boleh tolong add to the comments…

Alhamdulillah, our Angkasawan is back to earth. I’m sure most Malaysians glued to the TV set today. I saw the coverage on channel 588 with commentary from Capt Gibson (from NASA). The flight back is much shorter in terms of time compared to the trip to ISS, but there was so much science into it as much as the excitement. Getting someone experience like Capt Gibson to comment is a good move - if not, it will be a wasteful 3-4 hours. One of the most amazing is the blackout period which happened around the time the capsule hits earth’s air. It causes friction and high temperature that generates electrical charge or plasma. This causes interference with the communication from the capsule down to earth.

It’s a glorious day and Malaysians will be awaiting Dr Shukor to share his experience soon!

News from BBC

Around 9:20PM today, a proud moment for Malaysian as we saw the first Malaysian took off to space.

The launch was successful and I personally congratulate Dr Sheikh and hope that the country investment is worthwhile that he will bring in new data from the 2 weeks research at International Space Station.

One thing that amuse me is the media coverage for this event - it’s somewhat unprofessional and kinda funny at times. At the very moment when the Soyuz lift off, they should pass the voice to the com center in Baikonur but instead Mahathir Lokman was comenting on it (no offence - he’s good but this is not his expertise).

Nevertheless it was a good show and hope that in the next few days the broadcast would be better - not like today… after the lift off program, the following program was a cartoon! - I watched channel 588 of course and expected something better, at least a National Geo documentary on something about space.
