We made it to arrive the earliest possible, that zohor was made when we arrived. Both weather and traffic were superb. A stop in Gambang RR for a refreshment, and another in Sempah RR to refuel TAV.

FOTOTEKSES-99 is for 2026 Apr 16-30, topping the PARALLEL, since the notorious covid has been. Post-Shawal, the routine was well re-set-ed. Apr ended with a lot to reflect. Apr 18 Sat 29 Shawal 1447H, 4-beranak, went to Shakir's open house, in Denai Alam. Waze took by SKVE to GUTHRIE, etc. It was all for Shakir-Mem's acquaintances, but met Shakir's FIL. Singgah as well in Puncak Alam, hi-ing NA's buddy of Itifaqiah time, they were on their way to Haj in a few days time. Hala balik Waze took by Penchala, Kiara, Kerinchi, and PLUS southwards.

Apr 23 Thu 5 Z-Kaedah 1447H, DRV-JERTEH-TEMBILA, with NA accompany-ing to accomplish some of the tasks of ssaker currently in her hand. In the while, camped in P-RIMAU in a very hot weather, almost breeze-less. Done pruning several clusters of pisang. There were several tandans, but unsure the hopeful mocca-free. Noted several pcs of TOKLITOP on just one branch. Stayed not long after zohor. Homeward lalu Renek-Tembila to get some of the local produces along the route. Detoured to the beach of TELAGA PAPAN, in case ada ikan in Pasar Nelayan. We found one muara sungai with boat-making tents. Perhaps the landing sites was some where not nearby. We had hope it was like Beting Lentang, or PKB-PTJ. Home-ed still in a long daylight.
Apr 26 Sun 8 Z-Kaedah 1447H, started the day with a news that needed us to go NAWAT, in MERBAU PULAS, AJIL. NA's colleague finally conceded to her destiny very early this morning. Went by LPT2.

And before sunset, ank-cu2 had a KEK-ING over my BD-75, apparently for tomorrow.
Apr 20 Mon 2 Z-Kaedah 1447H, DRVTGG on BD-75 with NA in TAV. The weather was fine, but in Kemaman-Dungun area it was some drizzling. In Trg it was dry and hot as shown by the grey grass. Traffic was fine too, except that the eastward terowong in Sempah was closed, thus a congestion from down the hill before that. And very clear after that.

The river-ness at our place those days were comprehensive enough in keeping us at situ during the fun and frolic times that we rarely ventured upstream. Closest being by this place was perhaps 2006 Jun 5 Mon, we were landing here from a three days FISHING OUTING in the sea. Today rendv was among a few of NA's mid-80's KIK time close buddies.

While up there, visited Padang Luas, P-Panjang, and P-Rimau. Some deriang were ripening, unsure they would turn into rezeki or not. Unsure in T-Bugis. As always plenty of tandans in P-Rimau. Those we noted during the last visit were all rotten. Again unsure the existed are hopeful or not. But one lemak-manis, usually hopeful, and one kelat fall down with the fruit touching the ground which in last two incidents the fruit proceeded to maturity. The moktam were flowering, but not as bountiful. It was a drop of rain on the way home after TokDor but clear off at Narik.
