Sg Petani, Sarawak PRN, and The Flood in Kelang Valley

Dated 2021G Dec 31 Fri 26 J-Awal 1443H

Arbitrarily assigning MCO-v3-18, for Dec 16-31, to round up the 2021, topping the previous measures of COVID-MCO-es. In the media the BOOSTER, i.e. the 3rd dose was drummed up to combat OMICRON variant.

Dec 18 Sat 13 J-Awal 1443H, DRV-SGPETANI, Kedah, 4-beranak, bye-ing ALYA et al in Sg Merab for another night. It was wet almost through out the drv. And a crawling outward from the capital. We eventually arrived in SG PETANI, staying in the EMERALD PUTERI, TAMAN SEJATI INDAH, I supposed a newly developed area. Perhaps this was the second time, or the third time in Sg Petani, the previous being during the chitosan time mainly of the 80-90-s et seq. In Sg Petani the matter was that of NA's KIK batch. They have successfully build a SURAU from collection among themselves, the surau was part of a TAHFIZ, MRIQ, currently in rented building in town. And today, Dec 19 Sun, they were receiving the premise from the contractor, and they would move here soon.

Alya hp-ed that they were leaving for JB. In the media it was shown that Selangor was sunken by the non-stop rain since Fri morning. And in the media also, it was clear that GPS, the Sarawak-BN-version, had gained a landslide majority in the PRN.

Dec 20 Mon, DRV-KUL, homeward, but while in SG PETANI, detoured to TANJUNG DAWAI the site of SEA PRODUCES, equivalent to the Seberang Takir asal. Noted the originality was preserved, the modernisation being added when necessary only, unlike the Seberang Takir.

Dec 21 Tue, got the BOOSTER at PK-Cahaya in P-8. The place was not a PPV, it's a purely private clinic perhaps being outsourced. No wonder now the noises of the vaccination had died down. And understanding that millions of CT-zens were to be vacc-ed, no wonder during the early vac days, the noise was so thunderous.

Dec 28 Tue 23 J-Awal 1443H DRVTGG with NA, after an on leave from TGG since Dec 3 Fri. When we left KL was still wet, but the weather was fine. Sunny with scattered white clouds. And in fact the weather throughout was fine including in TRG. And the traffic was fine too. Light even in MRR2, except at the never-ending BTS mega construction.

TRG was dry when we arrived, blue sky with spotted clouds, but signs on the road indicated that it's been raining sporadically. In W-Tengah the compound was such neglected, the grass was tall since during the last return it was not mowed due to raining. Thus mowing in W-Tengah was a task.

Dec 30 Thu 25, NA went for the booster KLINIK KOMUNITI (formerly KLINIK 1MALAYSIA), Tanjung Jaafar. It was deferred from the appointed date of Dec 21 Tue, just like I was in PK CAHAYA P-8. However the appointment was in TRG in one private clinic IKRAM in Gong Badak. When we deferred, the KLINIK KOMUNITI instead hp-ed for the new date.

In the last day of 2021, Dec 31 Fri 26 J-Awal 1443H, the PINGITAN MARAS was visited in the drizzling of the early morning. Monsoon was knocking on the door of 2002. The high wave created by the strong wind pounded the beach for the annual feast of water margin. Torrential rain, skirmish drizzling, trumpetting blow of wind, a sunny peek, were weaving with each other.

Dec 16 Thu 11 J-Awal 1443H, ALYA et al returned for a home-weekend cum having a booster, both of them in IOI. And as always ank-cu2 gathered, Dec 17 Fri. Almost full house, 31/34 sans only Edi, SB, and Hanif.

The flood in Selangor was very bad. As bad as in Kelantan in 2013/4. The area kept on being mentioed in the media were Taman Seri Muda, and Hulu Langat. The damage done by the muddy flowing water was incalculable. The menaces called for national help, and the help were pouring non stop, from mostly the ordinary citizen, in national unity, challenging the power holders who were non stop in grabbing from one another and putting the blame but on themselves. Notably Kelantan, tagged as Misi Balas Budi Kuala Kerai, and Kedah, sent a convoi of unprecedented humanitarian mission.



Wet in Both East and West

Dated 2021G Dec 15 Wed 10 J-Awal 1443H

MCO-v3-17, Dec 1-15, was arbitrarily assigned, topping the previous measure of COVID-MCO-es. In the media the OMICRON variant was now flashing, silencing the DELTA, and the supposedly shield was the BOOSTER, i.e. the 3rd dose.

Dec 3 Fri 28 R-Akhir 1443H, DRVKUL. TRG was wet when we left. The bogged water was everywhere from the rain since yesterday. If we were still in TRG, it would be fun to see the water all over the place, and raining all day with sporadic lulls. It was drizzling through out the drive. It stopped only on climbing the Titiwangsa. KL was not raining, but cloudy like it's going to non-torrential rain. Traffic throughout was light, including in MRR2. Apparently today, Dec 3 Fri was a break day for KL, for winning the Piala Malaysia against Johor last two nights.

Dec 4 Sat, ANK2 gathering. Zidni et al arrived since late morning. SB home-weekend-ed, arriving in the afternoon, ex-Ayer Keroh. Ruby et ank2, Malini-sans-Munif, and Muzani et al were already in Bangi. Nontheless sans Alya et al who were in JB.

DEC 1 Wed 26 R-Akhir 1443H, DRV-JERTIH. It was a rather favourable weather. Almost all tasks were accomplished. Hopefully T-BUGIS, and P-RIMAU were in keeping warm under the sporadic sunshine, and were unaware that we were around.

And Dec 5 Sun, a makan spree 5-beranak in Bangi, NA said a belated celebration of ASRI 21st BD on Nov 23 Tue during which we were in TRG.

Dec 9 Thu 4 J-Awal 1443H, helped Zidni initiating in his lot in Sg Merab, encouraging him to re-opt the ideal way of settling. It would take times, many times, even an inch at a time. It takes a bravery to get convinced that a mole mountain at a time, over time, would make a mountain.

2021 is leaving in two weeks. Perhaps with 2020, it was the longest years as both kept almost every one at bay off the streets and h-ways. To many the pandemic was a mystery. It was more mysterious since political fingers were seen ticking during the thick of the pandemic. The booster phase of vac was all carried out in private clinics. And thus the guns fell silence.
