The Flood of November End |
Dated: 2024 Nov 30 Sat 28 J-Awal 1446 |

2024 Nov 16-30 covid, was MCO-F5-65, the accompany-ing FOTOTEKS-es, topping the previous COVID-MCO-es. Covid was really very quiet indeed. Monsoon was honking sporadically on the horizon. In TRG the sky was always cloudy, rainy in the evening or in the wee hr. By Nov end the flood ravaged Kelantan and Terengganu. Tens of thousands were evacuted. In Sg Merab, non-rainy evening was sporadic although afternoon was always under scorching heat. 
Sg Merab home was rather quiet. Nov 17 Sun 15 J-Awal 1446H A quick gathering of #1d, #2d, #3s in the evening for pisang-goreng feast x-PRimau. Nov 19 Tue 17 J-Awal 1446H. A visit to Pasar Bangi, shocked by the santan price of 19rm/kg from our last visit ca 1 month ago, 13rm/kg. Followed by a nasi-dagang in Masjid Hasannah. Um um, ok with a bonus of an acquaintance with the seller, Yus, who said his home residence was in J-Golf in the vic of Sempoi. Instant lunch date with Dr Abdullah, and CheLloh in the lauk-flooded Cantik, S-15. In the while weaved with tidy-ing the periphery of SMHOME. Noted the missing singkong in the orchard, traces were neither signs of feral menaces, nor the intimidating kera.
Nov 23 Sat 21 J-Awal 1446H, Alya has a booth to co-man in Putrajaya, leaving Adam-s to be accompany-ed. Ruby brought Afiah to accompany from the afternoon to the day end. SBHANIS drv-iKeroh in the morning. Visited the evening so-called Pasar Malam in Tenera, with every body noted of being swarmed by non-M-sian speaking visitors, quite a fraction of the sellers included. And another visit Nov 24 Sun 22 J-Awal 1446H morning the so-called Pasar Tani, which was rather dearer, and thus less getting attracted. Nontheless the homemade roti was attractive. Alya-3-beranak drv-JB just after b-fast.

Nov 16 Sat 14 J-Awal 1446H, DRVKUL after a rather long 18 days of absence from Sg Merab. Carried missions though. One in Dungun, visiting Zali, a TGG buddy perhaps since Y1 school, through out, and one of very up to date regulars in Alumni PM 67-68. And another in Kemaman. The walimah of a NA's close buddy, the wedding of her #3daughter. Weather-wise in TRG was excellent, sunny and hot. But very contrasted on Titiwangsa, both sides were wet. Eastward, it started just after Temerloh. Westward it was wet all the way to Sg Merab. However, in spite the wet, the traffic was clear all the way, and unexpectedly on MRR2. It was dark when we reached home.
Nov 22 Fri 20 J-Awal 1446H, a KEK-ING DAY, for ASRI tomorrow BD-24. ALYA-3-beranak, returned in the wee hr, and SBHANIS at near sun-set. Others gathered in the evening through to the night. All were in except Arifah, Aidah, Farhan, for obvious reason, and Niza of work-related engagement.
Nov 26 Tue 24 J-Awal 1446H, 4-beranak, went to MYDIN P-Diplomatik for a routine kitchen stock up. And ending with a treat of beriyani-gam off Uniten Stalls.
Nov 30 Sat 28 J-Awal 1446, noted in the media in TRG and Kelantan the monsoon had turned to flood and raging with ten of thousands had been rescued to temporary shelters. Sunken roads, and houses under the water. Jertih was effected as much as always. And in a lesser coverage in Kedah too. Media sources for WT-HOME was limited. In the past, TJHOME, and SPT-HOME were not harmed.

The Monsoon was Honking |

2024 Nov 1-15 covid, was MCO-F5-64, the accompany-ing FOTOTEKS-es, topping the previous COVID-MCO-es. The Monsoon was honking sporadically in the distant. 
Nov 2 Sat 30 R-Akhir 1446H, another walimah, in town, in the dewan of J Sutan Omar that of NA's court acquaintances since her career beginning. Incidentally the groom was an Imam in Raudah Sect-3 of PokJo and Edi acquantancy. On the way home TAV met an ill-fate. The fan belt tore up right in front of KMI. Limping in search of a pomen. Eventually found one opposite of Grand Cont J Tanjung. Waited. Commuting to Surau Hj Awang of Tanjung Kapur. It was a wait of 1344 to 1800. The surau reminded me of 1965 visit to the late CG Halim Hassan, in the vic, taken by his younger brother Md Nor Hassan, a year senior, who was my close friend in Padang Midin early years. Noticed something while in Surau Hj Awang. An old big well with a lever-bar by which the water could be fetched in a big bucket. The counter weight at the other end of the bar helped the operator. I remembered during my growing up time, one such set up was in the old all-wooden mosque of Masjid Kalang Arang.
Fishing started Nov 3 Sun 1 J-AWAL 1446H. In PKB it was said that the LORI had rarely appeared. However, at the other end, at the misc stalls, plenty of fish, apparently brought from as far as Penarik. It was very quiet in PTJ. Nov 4 Mon 2 J-Awal specifically attended to TJHOME which needed a perimeter care. The following two days, Tue-Wed, accompany-ed NA in care-ing AdikKakZi all the way from JB to clear her matter in the court. NA accomplished it well on Nov 6 Wed 4 J-Awal in the M-Court, then being picked up by an ank-sedara to Jertih for a good day rest and night sleep.

Nov 1 Fri 29 R-Akhir 1446H, driving WLU solo to Ketapang bazaar the first thing in the morning. Had not been here for years, since the much nearer Maras bazaar could well serve the Fri morning needs. Nonetheless, the fish was as tempted as in Manir bazaar. AbgJak et al dropped by on their way home from Panji Alam fam-day, just before jumaat. Ended the day with a walimah of UKM x-student Bukhari in Ngabang Telung. His last Feb 11 similar event at the same place was also attended.
Nov 11 Mon 9 J-Awal 1446H, a drv to Kala Berang, accompany-ing NA to extract a land doc. Visited Pasar Tani, and homeward by hinterland Kuala Telemong. 
Nov 12 Tue 10 J-Awal 1446H, a DRV-JERTIH, a rather early pre-routine DRVKUL. All tasks were accomplished in P-Rimau, notably a super full-spec kelat-siam, and a pull of ubi-kayu, plus a bonus of selective mowing, but in P-Panjang, the batu-peranggang still failed to get located. Home at dark. In the following few days, the WT-Home was kept for the leave.
