The Last MT-PAI Meeting

The Last MT-PAI Meeting

       On Sunday until Saturday, 24th  25th of February 2018, my muslim friends and I went to 3 Senior High School to celebrate the last meeting of MT-PAI. MT-PAI is a considered program that held by 3 Senior High School to increase students faith about Islam religion. This program gave the students some Islam lesson from the mentor, usually alumnus by sharing more about Islam.
       First we gathered in the old auditorium to do the opening ceremony from the event. There, we already wore costumes depended on our characters. Those characters were mother, father, driver, security guard, high school student, junior high school student, kindergarten student, and servants. Some teacher gave their speech about the last MT-PAI meeting event, then the senior told us about the rules and the activities that was going to be held in that event.
       The first activity that we did was playing a game. The name of the game was Game of Life. This game was like a normal life that we have, but we had to play the characters. I played a role of a kindergarten student, the youngest child in the family. I only spent my days in the kindergarten, playing, drawing and colouring. It was fun. My character was not really complicated. It was different from my friendss character, especially the ones who played the mother and the father. They were confused because they were facing so much problems in life, like diphtheria dissease, counterfeit money, bank, that was on fire and inflation.
       This game gave us so many lessons, like the real life that we live is not as easy and simple as it seems, life is only a game because we will be eternal in hereafter, we always face problems in our lifes that forces us to always remember Allah, and dont waste your life by doing something useless.
       After played the Game of Life, we gathered again in the old auditorium. A senior made us watched a video about the real meaning of muslim. And then we took a break for pray Maghrib, ate dinner, and pray Isya. At eight in the afternoon, we did mentoring with some of our senior in class. Then we slept.
       In the next morning, we did Tahajud and Subuh prays. Then we had a break for eating breakfast. Then we gathered in the mosque for the event closing.
       It was such a really fun activity because I could spend my time with my friends in positive ways. Hope it will get better next year.

The Food Of Hell From Indonesia


Famous as one of the best tropical countries, Indonesia provides tons of uniqueness and excitement. Its nature, culture, and art always bring millions of tourist each year. However, this time we are going to talk about one thing, Indonesia’s cuisine, in particular Sambal.
Sambal or sambel is infamous among tourist as the food of hell for its undeniable ability to make the consumer produces tears and sweat when eating. Produced using chili as its main ingredient, sambal is indeed taste extremely spicy.
Chili is a kind of plant from genus Capsicum. The fruit can be classified as vegetables or spices, depends on how we use it. There are many types of chili that we use in Indonesia, such as red chili, green chili, Cayenne pepper, chilli gendot, and peppers.
Sambal is made by grinding ‘cabai’ or chili, along with several complements such as onion, cherry,  tomato, ‘terasi’, sugar, and salt. The ingredients are grinded using traditional tool made usually from wood or plastic. The texture is smooth with a vibrant color of green and red, depending on which chili you use.
Sambal is a kind of food that can be stale easily, so there are several things that we have to concern when we make sambal, like we have to use healthy and fresh ingredients, we have to use clean tools, cook the ingredients first, cook the sambal with a little oil, and then keep the sambal in a clean container and put it in the freezer.
Infamous among tourists for its spiciness, many tourists avoid it. However, some of them are challenged and try to eat it. Those who dare to try usually will get stomach ache or turn very red and sweaty in the face. Though super spicy, locals eat it in almost daily basis as their main meal.
But, not many people know that the truth is the spiciness of sambal can be measured. There are many level of the spiciness of sambal, depends on what kind of sambal is it. There are two ways to measured the spiciness of sambal. First, quantitative and subjective. The spiciness of sambal can be measured by Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) scale. This scale was found in 1912 by Wilbur Scoville with Scoville Orgaoleptic Test Metode. The metode was very simple, it was only ny mixing the chili with sugar water.
Sometimes, sambal can be more spicy than we think and guessed. Usually, people will drink water, milk or yogurt to decrease the spiciness on their mouth. But, the truth is it won't work. We can decrease the spiciness by eating rice or bread.
People who doesn't like spicy foods might not gonna eat sambal ever. But, not many people know that sambal has substance that will work as antimicrobial and fight against the bacteria and virus in our body. So it might be that people who like sambal can live longer than people who doesn't like sambal.
Sambal has many other benefits, those are sambal can decrease body heat, be vitamin A and C source, scars healer, and can make us spared from cold.

Should be erased:
1. Plastic
Because the sentences says traditional tool made usually from wood or plastic. But, the tool that made from plastic is not traditional.
2. Cherry
Because there is not sambal that made by cherry,
3. Many tourist avoid it
Tourist actually try to find it.
4. Main meal
Sambal only the complementary of main meal.
5. Extremely spicy

The sentences said sambal is extremely spicy but there are also sambal that not really spicy and there are also sambal that taste sweet.
