Dec 23 Mon, DRVTGG, in Nissan, with NA, CB, and ASRI. It was an afternoon drive, arriving at night, with a good, sunny, weather. Traffic-wise, BTS and FLAMINGO still constipating. CB and ASRI had not been in TRG for some times. Obviously SB even longer. Made the three together in TRG with SB taking an OD SZB-TGG to-and-fro over the weekend. It was sunny in TRG, blue sky, white clouds, and sans rain. It was unusually dry by Dec norm. 
After the bridge, a drive to RAHSIA in Jln Budiman for a small gathering of throwing back the FUN TIME in the KOTA. In particular with Dr Abdullah, En Wan Musa, Dr Zubaidi, and Roslan. The year 2010 was the climax in Kota, then we were scattered to KGB in 2011, then to TEMBILA in 2013. In 2014 everything evaporated.

Dec 24 Tue, NA captured an impromptu invitation of makan2 in TELOK MENARA, of her colleague. Not far from Manir marketplace. Perhaps I had passed this road from Manir to the interior a couple of times, but a long time ago.
And at night, venturing the night time at THE BRIDGE, noting how it was admired, no less by the locals. On the K Nerus side, a big vacant-parking area was made available to the night-stroller. When I was a boy this place was called HUJUNG TAJUNG. I used to come here to appreciate the natural triple-phase interphase, accompanied by my cousin, the late Ahmad Yusof. The air, the sea, and the sand were baked together harmoniously in phase equilibrium composition by the light energy of the sun. It was in this vicinity in year 2000 I had a bad luck of losing the fishing boat. It sank by the sand dune, on the way out for a trip, in a fine sunny morning of a Dec day.
Nonetheless, the gift of 2019 arrived at the eleventh hr. The Cu2#18. The #18M#5F#2M. Dec 30 Mon 0320 wee hr, in JB, of ALYA-FARHAN. |
Dec 27 Fri, SB joined in W-Tengah direct from Denai Alam by an OD at 1910 from Subang. With that all 3-beradik were in TRG in closing the year 2019. Dec 28 Sat, all three of them were with their grandma in Tok Jembal. And at night, CB-ASRI returned to Sg Merab by an MH. SB, in turn, returned to Denai Alam Dec 29 Sun late morning by the same OD via Subang. The remaining two days Mon-Tue of 2019 was apparently recovering from a demam, got it since Fri evening, and was rather intense on Sat and the following Sun.
A Walimah in Kota Damansara |

Dec 14 Sat, DRVKUL, in WFV, with NA after her TRG BAR meeting. In TRG it was very windy in the morning. Fast-changing cloudy sky sans rain, sporadically blue, changing to rainy as the day rolls. Practically it was a wet DRV in LPT1 and LPT2. It was an agony driving on h-way at night in the rain especially in the vicinity of haulers. The roads were dry only on the western side of Titiwangsa. And at 11 pm in Gombak, MRR2 was very clear. The pounding constructions fell silence. 
Dec 19 Thu, the PT3 results came out. It was PMR, and in my time it was SRP/LCE with the results usually announced on Dec 26, or the day after if it fall on a public holiday. In my case in 1966, it was on Mon. The results obviously had arrived earlier than that at the respective school, most probably by post. Congratulation to all the candidates who had successfully been through it.

Dec 15 Sun was a Walimah in Kota Damansara. The wedding of the son of the late DOLLOH, the younger brother of the late MOHD, the eldest among the sibling. One of the sibling, JUSOH is married to my younger sister, MEK MAZIAH. MOHD, in late 1976, together with a cousin's hubby, ZAINI-TEH, took a great leap in migrating from their rural life in Petai Bubus to Kuala Lumpur. I gave them the initial shelter in Damansara Utama. When they started standing on their own feet, initially as security, they moved to nearby SG ARA. When the place was possessed, they squaterred in SG RUMPUT, which in turn was possessed. They were offered to buy a flat in KOTA DAMANSARA where they seemed to have made their lives. It was in Sg Rumput, Dolloh joined his brother. It was in Sg Rumput the two brothers, respectively, married the fellow settler. Unfortunately, in Kota Damansara, both passed on, preceded by the younger in 2002? followed by the elder 2006?, leaving widows and several children respectively, surviving, amazingly by themselves, very infrequently in touch with their TRG paternal connection. Zaini-Teh, who then was in a full family, worked so to remain in Sg Ara, passed on last year 2018, survived by MOK TEH, and children, all have married with relatively successful children.
Dec 22 Sun, a frolic with ank-cu2, of Ruby, Zidni, and Muzani, in SG BERNAM, close to Tanjung Malim. It was a ca 2 h drive, point to point. It was kebun durian along both sides of the river, weaved with that of rubber and oil palm, old, appeaared from which the kebun were originated after a massive replantation. The place was rather on a flat land, but very fast flowing water. Other than the distance, the place is viable for re-visit. Nonetheless, when city dwellers start to swarm the leisure places like this, the serenity would instantly disappeared.
