FOTOTEKSES-110 is for 2026 Oct 1-15, topping the PARALLEL, since the notorious covid has been. Weather in TRG was predictably erratic. A dull morning, a heat in the late afternoon, a torrent in the early evening, and a shower in the wee hr. In Jerteh it's duku-dokong time. A plenty, but high up on the trees. A plus in P-Rimau, the pisang re-flourished, in the weed-infested orchard. The earthworks about a year ago had made the maintenance more difficult to manage. Oct 1 Thu 19 R-Akhir 1448H, a brief rendv with Dr Abdullah and Dr Abdullah at NDAT Gong Badak in KUZA vic. For the first time since homing Sep 19, the perimeter was touched. And the following day Oct 2 Fri the HOME-TJ.
Oct 3 Sat 21 R-Akhir 1448H, DRV-JERTEH, tasking NA to finalise her terekoh matter which started with her schoolmate. To harvest duku-dokong in P-PANJANG, and to preview pisang in P-RIMAU. All tasks were accomplished especially the first, and the file closed. In PP duku-dokong was still a plenty, but high up on the tree. In P-Rimau, mocca appeared to have gone. Nonetheless the orchard itself was so infested by the weed.
Oct 8 Thu 26 R-Akhir 1448H, DRVKUL in TAV with NA, lalu beach route to Kemaman for dokong matter. Took LPT2 at Chukai toll, after refuelling in a Shell. KTrg was in good weather, but soon after Marang, all were hazy throughout the drv. Noted all along the coast the sky line diffused with the horizon. Refreshment in Gong Balai. Smayang in Karak toll service area. KL was very hazy indeed.
Oct 9 Fri 27 R-Akhir 1448H, ank2 home-ing. Malini, Ruby since arriving last night. Today, Zidni et al in the evening. Alya-3-beranak setoff 1933 in TTB from JB, but troubled by no-ekon stop-ing the engine somewhere still in Pulai that she decided to turn back, 2206, and re-home-ed 2250. While WLV was made available for use in SgMerab, noted also the nebor-ing house we pioneering built together in 1980-s had changed ownership, eventually, and appeared being renovated. Ming took to tour the uphill house being renovated, and met the new owner, an SAC in Bukit Aman. WJY was unintentionally victimised by the bang-tiong-kulis. Alya-3-beranak somehow arrived x-JB Oct 11 Sun afternoon, obviously after TTB was fix-ed. She said she dropped by in Melaka as well, reporting that Raudhah was growing well. With that Ruby's and Malini's gathered for a nasi-lemak dinner after an evening of frolic-ing in the backyard. Alya-3-beranak DRV-JB in the morning of Oct 13 Tue. Malini took to DUBLIN for a FnC treat in Jalan Reko hinterland. For sure the fish was not talapia, patin or the kind.
Oct 14 Wed 3 J-Awal 1448H, from direct wasap last night that Rashidi, a constant buddy during KBSM years of the late 80-s, had passed on, decided to go nawat and smayang in Masjid SUBANG JAYA.

Oct 4 Sun 22 R-Akhir 1448H, in Banggol Donas. The place I remembered in my kiddy days as full of giant tembusu trees in the middle of sawah padi. When the Sg Nerus bridge was built, I used to go even by myself to rumah MokNgoh, my father's elder sister. As I was growing up a lot of anecdotes sprang from here with characters from among my father's brother and sisters and their offsprings. Even on to the offsprings of the offsprings. The news of the passing was almost immediately appearing in wasap. Met many people. knew and known to, both relatives and nebors. Seeing the vic and its content, the chapter was a few pages to closing. OTW home singgah rumah Mek in Petai Bubus, and rumah Ani in Pusu Tiga. Both updated about the Kalang Arang fate about which AdikJo returned a few days ago finalising in Jjabat Terekoh.
Oct 5 Mon 23 R-Akhir 1448H, RAHSIA. For the final step of the High Crt matter. NA closing the file by delivering all the new geran from Jjabat Tanah. The matter started from Jjabat Terekoh in 2023 Jan, then transfer-filed in Hi-Crt because the total value was more than 3M. Unfortunately it took two hearing though to sync the math and arithmath of the two authorities. But the longest was for the siblings to agree on the inheriting.
Oct 6 Tue 24 R-Akhir 1448H, DRV-JERTEH. The main task was to harvest duku-dokong to be taken back to Sg Merab. Fortunately help was arranged from Banggol Setiu of two young lads who could climb the trees. The presence of nearly all adik-beradik NA. The duku-dokong was so bumper-harvest that at the end it didn't seem to be an after harvest. An evening torrent ended the mission. But the actual ending was in T-Bugis for a lightening harvest those of hand-reached. As always home-ed after sun-set.
Oct 15 Thu 4 J-Awal 1448H, DRVTGG with a need to drop some doc in BC KL. And in J Gong Limau Kemaman to have NA's skeletal built up re-aligned. The drive took to central KL, then opted the route used to be the only east-ward. Not been on this route for such a long time. All landmarks had been practically changed to new one. Jalan Pahang was beyond recognition. As well as Setapak. Refreshed, refuelled in Temerloh RR. Smayang in Maran LB. Exited LPT2 at Chukai. The task in Kemaman was accomplished. Re-LPT2 at Kerteh toll. Sun-set in Ajil RR. Home at night. Noted along the LPT, new additional AES had been installed. Spot-ed one Temerloh-Maran near the x-rezab, another a few min after Paka RR, and another ca 5 min after BBesi LB. All three were on the divider, i.e., perhaps affecting both directions. Hazy weather all the way, especially in KL.
