FOTOTEKSES-92 is for 2026 Jan 1-15, topping COVID-MCO-es, the notorious has been. New year 2026 was in the HOME W-TENGAH, plus some maintenance task of de-anai2-ing in the HOME-TJ. Some walimah of 2025 spilled over to early this year. 
Jan 3 Sat 13 Rejab 1447H, DRV-JERTEH, mainly to attend walimah of a NA's buddy-colleague in Jabi on the wedding reception of his son, and the retirement of his teacher-jauzah. Next was NA to see a hibah-client. An impromptu attending of NA's cousin's son walimah on the wedding reception of his son, in P-Panjang. As always seeing the trees in P-Rimau, noting the pisang were fighting to survive the viral menace. The house making was yet to start.
Jan 7 Wed 17 Rejab 1447H, DRVKUL in TAV with NA. It was a drizzling day and windy, throughout the east coast, through to past Gambang. The first stop was in PRASING RR, rendv-ing with ASBIHANIS on their DRV-iKEROH-MARANG by PLUS-LPT1-LPT2, apparently to see HANIS's mother who was warded last Mon. Refuelling before resuming. Another break was in KARAK TOLL service for the washroom and smayang. Quite a congestion started after LIPUR LINTANG RR. Crawling all the way, climbing the Bukit Tinggi, through the terowong, and descend-ing. The epicentre was at the descending end of the terowong. An accident. It was dry in the western Titiwangsa. Clear traffic, MRR2 included. Home in Sg Merab as estimated ca1740.
Jan 14 Wed 24 Rejab 1447H, DRVTGG with NA after only a week in SgMerab. Jumping out of LPT1 on Temerloh-Maran stretch to roam the non-highway roadside. Singgah Sejid Temerloh, but too early for zohor. Singgah one eatery I thought was the favourite meal-stop in Temerloh for the KL-Kuantan drv in the 80-s. Finally singgah Sejid Maran on the hill for the smayang. Resumed re-into LPT1 by Maran toll. The rest were history. It was dry at HOMEWT. No sign of rain at all for the past several days. But the air was not hot and humid. Traffic was clear, and the weather was fine through out. Refuelling in Perasing RR.

Jan 2 Fri 12 Rejab 1447H, an event in PRIMULA. Trg Bar annual dinner with a slot of appreciation for those who had served 30 years, NA was included. In the while, liaise-ing with CheLoh, and En Wan Musa in one of the Batu Buruk stalls. Updating, especially clearing a WA-chirp that the one was neither me nor Prof Mohd Zakaria Ismail.
Jan 6 Tue 16 Rejab 1447H, a walimah in the interior of Pasir Panjang, in the vic of Masjid Hj Kadir, Gong Pok Maseh. The wedding of a NA's colleague. The place of the kind native to TRG suburb in the 60-70 which naturally evolved into a house-crowded residential area. NA noted some fellow lawyers among the guests. In the while WLU was taken KB TYRE for the various oil change, the engine oil itself was due by ca 2k km.
Lingered at home getting absorbed into the evolving environment. Including making efforts to maintain the house perimeter. Nonetheless Jan 10 Sat 20 Rejab 1447H in PUTRAJAYA Pr-8 accompany-ing NA for a legal matter, roamed for a meal. And Jan 12 Mon 22 Rejab 1447H in Land Office Salak Tinggi settling all the dues for this year, reminisce-ing the eatery that we frequently hang on during the KLIA-frequence-ing days ca fifteen years ago in Jenderam.
Jan 15 Thu 25 Rejab 1447H, fishing and mowing, the former in the stall, and the latter in welcoming the Shakban and Ramadan. Noted the sky was still cloudy, but the sea had returned calm, tempting a lot the speed-boat to start roaming the sea for this new year 2026.

FOTOTEKSES-93 is for 2026 Jan 16-31, topping the PARALLEL, since the notorious covid has been. Monsoon in TRG might have over without a serious menace. The sea was getting calmer perhaps in welcoming Shakban to open the Ramadan 1447H. Jan 17 Sat 27 Rejab 1447H, DRV-JERTEH-TEMBILA, exclusively to P-RIMAU, in eagerness to see how the pisang was recovering. Singgah Merang, refuelling WLU. Arrived in Gong Nering, singgah Warung ND KAK YAH for a pre-lunch. Masuk orchard P-RIMAU. Samso came over to hi. For the first time, CAR WENT INSIDE THE ORCHARD, this time WLU, parked under pokok moktam, thus closely accessible when needed during mowing etc. Pisang-wise, unchanged, several tandan had gone menaced. A few new, fighting to survive. Noted however the young pokok were all gemok-green, meaning, hopeful. Work-wise basically was MOWING. Targeted area was the pisang clusters line. A bon fire was made. Mowing was successful gradually. Made fire at two clusters. Ubi planted as well. Hala balik lalu Tembila from Renek, beli keledek. Singgah Sejid Fikri, pax-ed roti-canai. Homed at past sun-set.
Jan 24 Sat 5 Shakban 1447H, DRV-TEMBILA-JERTEH. Took the Tembila route to buy some keledek, and thus arriving Jerteh from Kg Raja. Peeked T-BUGIS seeing the roaming weeds that it would take pros to clean it, but noted some anak-deriang were surviving notably the MK3, and one atrributed to ASRI. Repeated-visiting P-Rimau, resuming from last week visit. The menaces on pisang did not show much of recovery even though the tree never give up fruiting. Mowing progressed to under the toklitop off a very thick lalang.
Jan 28 Wed 9 Shakban 1447H, DRVKUL after exactly fourteen days in TRG with twice DRV-JERTEH principally to P-Rimau. Rain and rising water were not of concern when we embarked. It was a bright day. Apparently so all to way to KL. Traffic was light too all the way, even in MRR2 except at a few notorious spots. The first break was in AJIL RR. This was the first time we took a break here. It was after all just a 15-min away from BJong toll. Refuelled in Prasing RR Shell. The second stop was in KARAK toll service for the washroom, and smayang. Home-ed in Sg Merab as anticipated, 1745. Noted the tanah kosong neighbouring had not changed since we left two weeks ago.
Spent the evening of last day of Jan with ank-cu2 of #1-2-5's in Sg Merab home backyard. Taking the men to furnishing Ogawa job of de-branching. One the NANGKA, and the other DUKU. The former was the branched from the original, which had roamed across Dato flat making in progress. The latter was planted, the ank was from Paya Datu. It had grown to an adult, once bearing a lot of fruit. A pruning had made the new buddies so dense that fruiting was not favourable. The same thing happened to the two moktang. Before the MEK-ARA roamed the backyard, the trees provided us with surplus moktang, duku, dokong, nangka, and chempedak. |
Jan 16 Fri 26 Rejab 1447H, jumaat in Sejid Lipot, noted two regulars missing in the outside area. The most left in the first row, a slander-dark healthy-appeared, and the most left in the third row, light-heavy pious looking. I usually opted behind him. I believed both noticed my appearance and disappearance during the weekly jumaat whenever I was in. In the while at home noted also the soulful mawar merah was bloom-ing magnificently for the first time in Sepetir, the benih was from Sg Merab first cultured in W-Tengah then propagated to Sepetir.
Jan 18-23 Sun-Fri 28 Rejab - 4 Shakban 1447H, lingering around HOME for the arrival of SHAKBAN. Weaving with mowing the compound, visiting SABASUN restocking the kitchen ingredients, accompany-ing to PAYA BUNGA SQ for a tax update, FISHING, even peeking HOMETJ a few times, and HAH in Kg Batin.
Jan 31 Sat 12 Shakban 1447H, Alya 4-beranak home-ed at the wee hr to join the weekend chorus in Sg Merab. The first happening was to convoy to CASA LAGENDA CC, Seremban to attend the walimah of Dr Fais on the wedding of his son. Dr Fais was NA's KIK-mate. His father was the late UTZ JAMLI, one of the four pioneer of Sg Merab Luar, before every thing else along the Sg Merab Luar road from under the PLUS bridge to Masjid BBaginda. Waze took LEKAS to-wards, started from UNITEN, not PLUS perhaps in anticipation of exit-KL-exodus for the long weekend-plus of tipusam and fed-teritory break. It was not the fastest, nor the shortest though. And thus on fro-wards took the ever congested PLUS, entering Seremban toll rather than Senawang. Noted that both routes took the same ca 1 h plus a few min.

FOTOTEKSES-94 is for 2026 Feb 1-15, topping the PARALLEL, since the notorious covid has been. Bangi was warm and dry in Shakban, but every one was in bracing of Ramadan. Feb 2 Mon 14 Shakban 1447H, ALYA 3-beranak DRV-JB in the morning. In the evening was a repeat gotong-royong in rumah Malini. Ogawa-ing some of the trees from the nebor's lot which were leaning and had reach the roof of the house. It was an agony and panic when the tree was about to start falling, the chenso stuck-ed, and the rope was too short for a sufficient power to pull off along the safe direction. If the tree does not fall, the chenso would be left unsaved, and the tree pose a great potential of tumbang by the wind, and on the roof of the house. It was a very last min thought that saved the panic. The final effort was re-position the pulling direction nearer to the direction of falling. And gathered every energy, men and women available.
Feb 3 Tue 15 Shakban 1447H, dropped in TENERA evening bazaar for the kitchen sundries. Feb 4 Wed 16 Shakban 1447H, another CALTEXAS rendv in the late afternoon for legal matters updates. Feb 5 Thu 17 Shakban 1447H, visiting ALAMANDA for an AEON. Noted the mall was KUDA-CNY-decorated like more than one in ALAMANGHAI. And ended with a mihun kari in RASA.
Feb 7-8 Sat-Sun 19-20 Shakban 1447H, NA had matters in THE BAR, KL. Delivered in the morning, but home by MRT Kajang. Meeting on accident on Sat, LAWA training on Sun. A call for an attention in the ceiling. The water tank re-leaked. Try to fix with CB, up to by asar. At night when the intake stop-cock was re-opened, the leak did not disappear. Needed a more pro-touch.
Feb 9 Mon 21 Shakban 1447H, DRVTGG for a pause, hoping to return on time for the new Ramadan. Detoured to MAEE FLEXI in Sect-7 to refreshed the engine oil of TAV, and by Sg Ramal Luar for a refuelling, through to UPM-Besraya, MRR2, Gombak. In a rare occasion made the meal stop in Genting Sempah RR, the last stop was perhaps in 2018 Aug after a frolic with ank-cu2 in Janda Baik. But the full house gathering in the vic was in 2013 Nov. And smayang stop in Lanchang LB. Refuel-ing in PAKA. Another meal stop in W-Mesu roti payang, and a peek in HOME-Sepetir. Home-WT just before sun-set. At a glance all were in order, including the baby kedondong.
Feb 12 Thu 24 Shakban 1447H, a rendv with CheLoh at his home for the progress updates. On the way, asar in Sejid Seb Takir. The meal after the briefing was, as always, in Rahsia.
Feb 13 Fri 25 Shakban 1447H, post-Jumaat, roaming. Started with NA collecting rohaniah-karipap in Lipot, sukri-nasi-lemak in TgGelam. And kind of auditing HOMETJ for the leave. Noted the pisang trees which noticeably were fighting the mocca menaces. On to Petai Bubus, hi-ing Mek. Home finally by Jeram, part S-Link, Petaling, Tepoh, and Maras.
Feb 14 Sat 26 Shakban 1447H, DRV-TEMILA-JERTEH, for missions, both of NA's. One in the vic of Alor Lintah on hibah, and another in x-Panchor on Terekoh. In between popped-in P-Rimau to note nothing changed, but a rizq, one lemak-manis eluded the mocca menace. Harvested. But the most of the drv was a visit in Banggol Setiu.

Feb 1 Sun 13 Shakban 1447H, visiting the infamous Pasar Awam Bangi. Known among the dwellers for its non-inexpensiveness of the wet ingredients. Nonetheless, the b-fast was still resonable. Roti-canai was still 150 sen each. Noted on this Sun visit the b-fast eateries were almost full house. Knew no one, known to no one, except the santan seller oldie because I am an infrequent regular.
Feb 10 Tue 22 Shakban 1447H a full day. A hiccup, stroked since last night when OCTO returned id/pw invalid even when tried to login in iF13. It carried over to this morning, thus it was not about m-nite update. So first thing in the morning drove to Shell Padang Lanah, grabbed the ATM, and a lega when the card successfully broke through with untouched balance. Rushed home within the hr. Arrived, right away attempted on Mac. The answer was the same, id/pw invalid. Meaning it's time to visit the physical office in J-SutanIsmail. And did just that with NA. The solution was just change-ing the pw, and ironically assisted by one Rosli the security personnel. Next itinerary was to Jabat Tanah, NA has an inquiry about the irrational fraction against decimal. On to J-Wireless for a visit. The bandar roaming ended in P-Payang. And thus homeward by the Angkat. It was a full day. Twelve hr passed and to the next day. OCTO could be accessed in Mac but transection was not ok, the TAC needed pw on iF13, but rejected. The next attempt on Mac was not ok, the respond was bad connection. Nonetheless transection on iF13 could be made, including paying bill. Trusting the time for the heal.

FOTOTEKSES-95 is for 2026 Feb 16-28, topping the PARALLEL, the notorious has been. It's Ramadan time, the Ramadan 1, 1447H, was 2026 Feb 19 Thu. 
Feb 17-18 Tue-Wed 29-30 Shakban 1447H, dealt with the leaking water tank in the ceiling which supply the washroom of R-01, and of the guest WR-02, all were in g-floor. Fixing the cracked tank was not successful. The shortcoming was that it was not fully dry when araldite was applied. All planned, things were getting worse and worse every improvement, innovative steps were carried out, including with the help of Muzani. In the end, the final strategy was to recover the tank from the leaking by re-resin-ing the surface, which would take perhaps to after raya. The current effort was to make the WR-03 and 04 in u-floor useable. And accomplished by 1st Ramadan night with ASRI help. Draining the floor water was also achieved but gradually through the overflow line.

Feb 16 Mon 28 Shakban 1447H, a mission DRV-JERTEH-GUAMUSANG-KUL. It was rainy to start with in HOME-WT. It turned out raining all the way to KUL including in KL MRR2. Intermittently resided, but equally intermittently heavy. The drv was more or less a repeat of such as of 2024 Aug 1. A drop in Jerteh to deliver a package x-JB, which were miscom-ed for the deferrement since around new year. The break in Gua Musang was for smayang and refuelling. Nonetheless, a meal break was a repeat of last DRVTGG, i.e. in Genting Sempah RR. Noted pockets of traffic congestion on the opposite direction for the horse-CNY tomorrow perhaps. Home-ed in Sg Merab just enough time for the garib.
Feb 20 Fri 2 Ramadan 1447H, Ramadan-2. Ank-cu2 gathered for the iftar-2. Alya-3-beranak the first to arrive x-JB in the morning at 11. Took Adam-s for jumaat in MPI together with their Ayh-Der and Pok-Su. Malini, Ruby, and Muzani ET AL joined, arrived in that order. Muzani furnished the menu with a dish of kari ikan he cooked at last minute. Zidni et al made it the next day Feb 21 Sat 3 Ramadan 1447H, Ruby et ank2 accompany-ed. Alya-3beranak TTB-ed JB-ward the next morning Feb 22 Sun 4 Ramadan 1447H after subuh.
Feb 24 Tue 6 Ramadan 1447H, DRVTGG, after eight days in Sg Merab, five days ramadan with ank-cucu et al. It was in a fine weather and a very clear traffic, all the way from the beginning. A stop in Temerloh RR was for refuelling. Noted on passing Gambang RR not even a single vehicle was on the stopping. It was right zohor time. However the h-way was loaded with heavy haulage and heavy wheelers. A second stop in Kuantan LB for smayang. Exited Dungun toll. Strolling the beach route. Nothing was attractive other than the very visibly calm sea under the cloud-spotted blue sky. Collected the iftar menus starting from bazaar in Sejid Telapong, Nurul Iman eatery, roti Abdullah, pulut wisma in Ladang vic. Over the angkat, PTJ for sekali-masak cencaru-ayer. Despite a strolling on Dungun-KT stretch it was just a seven hr drv, HOME-WT-ed in ample time for the 6th time iftar.
Feb 26 Thu 8 Ramadan 1447H, DRV-KGRAJA-JERTEH, lalu Tembila route, collect-ing the proceeding of the legal matter of a terekoh. And thus with the adjacent Jjabat Tanah. Ironically this was the matter of exactly a year ago, in Ramadan 2025 Mar 25. On to P-Panjang for a hi. Lengguk2 in the orchard, noted some deriang trees started producing the flowers. Homeward by the usual route of Bitang-Saujana. In Sejid Laga Papan still in zohor time. Time was ample for the iftar even after a detour to Sepetir to secure another legal docs.
Feb 28 Sat 10 Ramadan 1447H, an outing. In particular to have the iF13 examined which on last Thu had the american syndrome of all-white screen. Visited two possible centres in the Dataran Mesu. The former was the one who replaced the broken android pcs in Jul last year 2025. All verdicted similar cost. 400-1500rm. Decided to take it to Sg Merab. While outing, roamed the vic of the beach. Fishing and seeing the non-breezy blueish-green sea under the thinly cloud-covered blue sky, including a quick fishing in PTJ. PKB was quiet in the evening. Singgah one Bazaar Ramadan for anything interesting. The KUZA. The iftar menus were furnished. It was not so different from other bazaar.
