Yours truly was blessed to be one of the few in attendance for an "out of the world" evening with our national astronaut, Dato' Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor . In the spirit of Ramadan, Angkasawan Communication along with Capri by Fraser Kuala Lumpur as well as a few other sponsors gave 40 orphans from the Rumah Amal Limpahan Kasih in Puchong an evening they would not forget.
It might have been 8 years since our national astronaut, Dato' Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor did us Malaysians proud by being the first (and only up to now) Angkasawan to travel to space and and experience how it is like living inside the International Space Station (ISS), but the experience was a truly unforgettable one never to be forgotten for him. As a matter fact, Dato' Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor feels like "it was yesterday".
Sad to say, not many of us Malaysians can understand the purpose and contribution of that historical journey to space, especially the younger generations....so Dato' Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor is planning to hold his 8th Celebration in the form of the Malaysian Astronaut Exhibition (MaEx2015) on 9th -11th October 2015 with three other astronauts from Germany, Japan and Russia...( the venue is yet to be confirmed)
All those present were fascinated by videos shown of how Dato' Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor (who was present with his lovely and supportive wife, Datin Dr Halina Yunos and their adorable two daughters) time in training and space. We were also treated to a few minutes view of the revolving planet earth from the International Space Station.
See Instavideo
Then the orphans were handed their duit raya and gifts...
And they got the opportunity to take a picture with Dato' Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor
and his family...
Here are a couple of photos of Dato' Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor with his family, the General Manager of Capri by Frasers, Mr Tony Ho as well as the other sponsors...
Among the sponsors.... Empire Furniture, Commune, Tino's Pizza, Chatime, Jubahsouq, AVON Cosmetics, Swift Transportation etc....
ANd yours truly here naturally cannot miss the opportunity to take a couple of pictures of the very beautiful family...
Datin Dr Halina Yunos is not only beautiful but also very approachable and friendly. There are some women married to famous men who are snobs, but she is definitely not one of them. Do you know she is also a part time blogger? She blogs at http://barelysupermommy.com
Food was plentiful and the buffet here at Capri by Frasers is delicious....
The orphans lining up to get their food....
And here are some of my selfies.... heheheh......Sorry... I just could not resist...
