2024 Apr 16-30 covid, was MCO-F5-51, the accompany-ing FOTOTEKS-es, topping the previous COVID-MCO-es. Covid was very quiet these days. 
Apr 20 Sat 11 Shawal 1445H, B-DAY-73. It was in the middle of DRV-JERTIH, seeing NA's brothers and sisters, and nephews and nieces, in Abg Jamil's place, Taman Permint Impiana, Kg Raja. NA arranged for a KEK to be delivered by one of Abg Arif's daughter to the rendv house. While in Jertih, seeing the plants in P-RIMAU, P-PANJANG, and T-BUGIS was always an excitement.

Apr 16 Tue 7 Shawal 1445H, a raya-time with Dr Abdullah, and Mohaimein in off RAHSIA.
Apr 17 Wed 8 Shawal 1445H, RAYA NAM, ziarah kubur, a home coming to Kalang Arang, seeing the land I was born, and grew up before venturing to distant school, and MELAUT. Not many contemporary kampong folks had left. Nonetheless, re-acquainted with several of their offsprings.
Apr 20 Sat 11 Shawal 1445H, DRV-JERTIH, seeing NA's brothers and sisters, and nephews and nieces. And the plants in P-RIMAU, P-PANJANG, and T-BUGIS. Some flowers eventually appeared after the recent long rainy season.
Apr 22 Mon 13 Shawal 1445H, DRVKUL in TAV with NA. As recently frequent, took the beach route up to Dungun, stopping in Marang for some goodies. And some more along the Ru Muda. A snack in Che Lijah was worth a repeat. The surau break was in Kuantan LB. The weather and traffic were favourable untill crossing over the Titiwangsa. KL was very wet, traffic was not bad though on MRR2, but unreasonably congested on the Sg Besi Serdang short stretch. Homed in Sg Merab just before dark after 9h of real time drv.
Apr 24 Wed 15 Shawal 1445H, DRV-SEREMBAN for a legal matter in KPJ. It's been a long time not in this town. The last perhaps a passing in 2011-s. The most frequent was during Malini F1-F5 in TKC 1993-1997. Seremban had changed the manner other towns had changed. Even a lunch in Ampangan did not bring any reminiscence.
Apr 26 Fri 17 Shawal 1445H, ALYA arrived from JB at near subuh. And SB at near garib, after Ruby et al, Malini et al were already in. Makan2, and settled with a KEK-ing. Alya returned to JB the following Apr 27 Sat mid-day. Zidni et al, Muzani et al, completed the evening through the night for another KEK-ing. And ngecun-ing.
Apr 28 Sun 19 Shawal 1445H, NA's day of gathering her ank-sedara who stay in KL-vic. Che Lloh and Dr Abdullah Sipat et mems, especially the latter were the VIP. As well as CG Ros et ank-cu2. SB DRV-iKEROH at time to reach before m-night.
A lot had to be done post Shawal in Sg Merab, after a neglect during entire Ramadan. But at current Apr end the evening downpour had never missed.

2024 Apr 1-15 covid, was MCO-F5-50, the accompany-ing FOTOTEKS-es, topping the previous COVID-MCO-es. Covid was like no concern any more even to the authority. It seemed that quietly everyone, bottom to top, felt a dose of covid. 
Apr 4 Thu 24 Ramadan 1445H, a quick visit to pasar Bangi. And then Maideng in Pr-15 to gather some accs for the Shawal Day-1 in a week time.

Both would join the rendv in TRG Apr 13 Sat for a matter in Marang.
Apr 11 Thu 2 Shawal 1445H. DRVTGG in TAV with NA. CB-SB preceded in WWS. ASRI opted to stay back, he said he could not secure a leave on Fri 12. Weather-wise was favourable, although a bit hot in the east coast. A congestion was heavy on MRR2 nearing Gombak toll, apparently many had not been back yet for the Shawal. Beyond that traffic was clear. Arrived in W-Tengah home at sun set. Joined by CB-SB.
Apr 13 Sat 4 Shawal 1445H. AN EVENT IN MARANG. SB fetched Malini-Fifah ex-Darul Iman Kuza just before subuh. The fist rendv was in TJHOME for b-fast nasi-kunyit ex-Ayub. Next move was 0950, heading Marang. TAV, WWS, TTB, BLY, WWD. Lalu draw-bridge, and on. Second rendv at the destination proximity, with the waiting MAZDA, and WJB. Mek-Areh-Emi arrived in a Myvi.

Apr 1 Mon 21 Ramadan 1445H, DRVKUL in TAV with NA. The heat was milder for the last few days. For the last two nights, some moisture fall, wetting the top ground. Nonetheless in W-Tengah the betiks were left to mind the water by themselves after several days being dripped. NA opted to break off LPT2 at Kerteh toll for the lemang in Kijal. And thus, took LPT1 in Jabor. Weather-wise the drive and traffic were fine. Only in MRR2, the Ampang-Pandan stretch was rather slow. But the lights in Lot-10 handled a very heavy traffic.
Apr 6 Sat 26 Ramadan 1445H, in the very early hr, NA was hp-ed that Prof Hadi had passed on in KT Hospital, ca a week after being in unconscious. Apart from last Mar 31 Sun in HUNIZA, our last frolic with him was Nov 29 Wed 15 J-Awal 1445H on a DRV-KETEREH for his mission. SB returned in the wee hr, joining us at the sahur table, his unusual home weekend routine, saying to avoid the traffic congestion on the southern PLUS KL-ward on Fri night. The return was for the Shawal break as well, through to his matter in Marang on Apr 13 Sat. Zidni et al joined the iftar.
Apr 12 Fri 3 Shawal 1445H. Alya et al arrived at wee hr ex-Melaka ex-JB putting up in W-Tengah. Muzani et al arrived a bit later ex-Penang and put up in TJHOME with Ruby et al. Noted Zidni et al had also arrived but put up somewhere in PAKA. PokJo would also be joining, most probably direct on Sat morning at the dstination. Fri in Masjid Lipot was in extra full house due to the home-coming jemaah. After jumaat went to visit Dr Jamil in J-Pusara. 4-beranak, plus Alya et al. Ank-cu2 had a Muzani spree of ngecun frolic at night in W-Tengah after a dinner of kepala-jenahak Muzani cooked. And by m-night retired to their respective homing.
Apr 14 Sun 5 Shawal 1445H CB-SB in WWS left for KUL in the wee hr. The idea was to precede the Sun congestion on proceeding the Sat congestion. They unfortunately suffered a belting problem near Bentong, 1130. Muzani came over from Bangi on bike to rescue. WWS resumed, 1638, a 5h agony in the heat, plus another ca 4h wading the congestion through Gombak toll, and MRR2. The passing peronda was helpful in providing a cone. And an advice one would not expect. Taking the car to the w-shop, perhaps by insurance if towing is covered. Contacting Kurnia Insurance was of no immediate help. Contacting tow was quick in quoting the price, but it never turn up. Luckily the online transfer was pending the tow arrive at the spot. And thus it was sincerely cancelled. The most probable hang out was no driver wanted to wade in the super-congestion, unlike during normal traffic, tow trucks were lining the road side like those hawker stalls. In the while, gave TV a post-raya wash, and a lot of water to betik.
