Ramadan 1446H |
Dated: 2025 Mar 15 Sat 14 Ramadan 1446H |

2025 Mar 1-15 covid, was MCO-F5-72, the accompany-ing FOTOTEKS-es, topping the previous COVID-MCO-es. The overheard word of covid was among the Bakal Haji who were asked by Saudi to have the vaccine taken before the visa was issued. 
Mar 2 Sun 1 Ramadan 1446H, RAMADAN 1446H commenced. In the media it was reported that Saudi and Indonesia commenced their Ramadan a day earlier on Mar-1-Sat. Alya-4-beranak arrived just before end of sahur. Apparently they planned to have IFTAR all adik-beradik-ank-cu2 this evening. And the plan was well executed, all were in sans just Edi who was on duty in the surau of his qariah. All bersurai after iftar including SBHANI DRV-iKEROH, leaving Alya et al joining in furnishing the night terawih.
Mar 7 Fri 6 Ramadan 1446H, another iftar mini-gathering, among that of Ruby's and Malini's. NA's yesterday BD cake was presented. The visit to Tenera bazaar on Mar 8 Sat 7 Ramadan 1446H was the first blend of Ramadan and the weekly. As anticipated, the former, annual though, was merrier.
Mar 12 Wed 11 Ramadan 1446H, DRVTGG with NA in TAV, the intermission before the shawal, planned to be in Sg Merab. Both weather and traffic were favourable. The meals for the iftar was ex-KUZA BAZAAR. Excited on reaching home to see that the NYIOR had born the flower. But noted also the signs of menaces on the ank-pisang, perhaps by the feral.
Getting closer to Sejid in this ramadan. Opted the Lipot, for the least known to jemaah. But still a few hi-ed. Noted the jemaah were large, close to the jumaat.
Mar 15 Sat 14 Ramadan 1446H evening, driving with NA visiting MANIR Ramadan BAZAAR. The bazaar was much bigger than any where around. Undoubtedly the cooked meals were more palatable.

Mar 1 Sat 30 Shakban 1446H, eagerly welcoming Ramadan 1446H. SBHANIS returned in the late morning. The first terawih was at night after iser with Ruby-et-girls popping up joining.
Mar 3 Mon 2 Ramadan 1446H, MALINI et al joined another evening of iftar, joining ALYA et al who then after terawih time DRV-JB homeward.
Mar 5 Wed 4 Ramadan 1446H, a visit to Mydin Diplomatik, restocking the kitchen. Noted the absence of minyak masak on the shelf. Who took the note of the menace? They were chicken, eggs, beras local, nyior-santan, and now cooking oil. Next on line would be gula. The usual dramatic line started with shortage in weapon-ing a demand. Hiking the price was then morally legal which stays floating for subsequent chance for further hike.
Fishing was not a good affair during ramadan even though the weather was very favourable. Landing were scarce. Those available on the stalls were mostly of deep sea trawl-ing.

Bracing for Ramadan 1446H |

2025 Feb 16-28 covid, was MCO-F5-71, the accompany-ing FOTOTEKS-es, topping the previous COVID-MCO-es. The words COVID and VACCINE appeared just sporadical in the media although MOH kept weekly updating the numbers. 
Feb 16 Sun 17 Shakban 1446H, a quick visit to BAZAAR TENERA for some kitchen sundries. Zidni et al, and Malini-Zarif popped-in in the evening. And the following day Feb 17 Mon 18 Shakban 1446H in search for a POK-SUPPOH in Bangi. Found one in Sect-9, after finding out that the known one in Diamond was closed..
Feb 20 Thu 21 Shakban 1446H, DRV-KUANTAN-TGG. Both the weather and traffic were favourable. Deliberated to transit in Kuantan to hi NA's nephew while lunch-ing in Seri Hijrah, a cosy colonial gov-Q-turned-restaurant in the middle of Kuantan. And from there coast-ing along the beach road to Trg, including from Kuantan to Sg Ular. The 60-70-80 KL-TRG drv scenes had all disappeared into memory-archive. Home-ed in WT at sun-set after a short stop in PokTuyu for a pax-dinner.
Feb 26 Wed 27 Shakban 1446H, DRV-JERTIH-TEMBILA. Many tasks were accomplished. Legal documents were collected, as arranged, in SMK Renek guard house. A sambal-ikan sample was delivered in P-Panjang. A peek in P-Rimau, noting progresses other than the menacing on the kelat. A serindit procurement in Jertih bazaar, followed by a meal in one restaurant Medan Ikan Bakar next to Masjid. A visit in Padang Luas, and similarly in Limbongan. Finally a rendv in Ru-10. Home before dark. It was a gloomy day, nevertheless, pleasantly windy.
Feb 28 Fri 29 Shakban 1446H, a quick visit in the morning, to Pasar Bangi. A non-unexpected, the santan cost 20rm/kg, and a nyior 4rm/pcs. When we started taming the santan, perhaps since after with NA in late 2015 until quite recently it was 10-12rm, then suddenly to 16rm, and a nyior 3rm. Not bad, it went double in ca ten years time. Before that we were not acquainted with santan, except perhaps during Azizah time in about y2000. And the price never bothered us. Pasar Bangi was notorious for the higher price cff in the bazaar. Nonetheless the prices in the meal stall were very reasonable.

Feb 18 Tue 19 Shakban 1446H, resumed romancing the anai2 in the out side store. This compartment of the house had not been audited since its use in 1987. Another day at least was needed to restore the store.
Ruby was around on Feb 22-23 Sat-Sun, with her buddy et al for an USIM matter in UNIZA. They stayed in TJHOME. It was rather windy for the past few days. Cloudy with sporadic rain, especially during the end of the day through to the wee hr. The sea was rather choppy. Thus fishing was not so good. Those available on the stalls were perhaps the daganan type.
Feb 27 Thu 28 Shakban 1446H, DRV-KUL, to catch up ank-cu2 in bracing for Ramadan 1446H said to commence on Mar 2 Sun. Setoff rather late, almost mid-day, after NA finalised the pause in Sepetir. Took both LPT with the refuelling-refreshment in Perasing RR. The traffic was very favourable, except some notorious stretches in MRR2. The weather was practically fine too with sporadic skirmishes, especially in LPT1. Sg Merab was rather dry when we docked at sun set and settled down.
