Supper

Naja and her sisters stayed overnight at Kampung Jerang to keep company with Tok, who has not been well... meanwhile, I brought the boys back home to Simpang Durian... along the way, we made a brief stop at Teguh Station, where I treated the boys to some supper before continuing our journey home...

Kak Da Daughter's Wedding

we attended the wedding reception of Kak Da and Abang Basri’s daughter at Dewan Merak Kayangan, Kuala Lumpur... heartfelt congratulations to the newlyweds, Ika Amira and Haritz Daniel, on their special day... the occasion was made even more meaningful as I had the chance to meet Mahfiz, the son of Mak Su (the younger sister of my late Mak)... we were also truly delighted to see Mak Chaq, the elder sister of my late Mak and the only remaining aunt, making the gathering especially touching and memorable for us as a family...

Explore U at UNITAR

I was assigned to duty at the Faculty of Business booth, where the sales team brought in a large number of school students from around the Klang Valley... our role involved engaging the students through interactive activities while also providing clear explanations to members of the public who visited the booth... we shared information about the academic programmes offered by the faculty, entry requirements, and potential career pathways, aiming to give visitors a better understanding of what our faculty has to offer and to generate interest among prospective students...

Preliminary Screening for Al-Quran Recitation

Abyana was shortlisted under Zone 2: Kuala Pilah and Jempol for the Preliminary Screening for Al-Quran Recitation at the Negeri Sembilan state level... the screening was held at Masjid Kariah Kampung Gentam, with registration beginning at 8:30 am... as breakfast was not provided, we had breakfast at a nearby food stall before the programme started... participants were called according to alphabetical order, and as expected, she was among the last to be called... each participant was given 5 minutes for their recitation... once the session was completed, we returned home, with the results of those qualified for the final screening to be announced later through the school’s WhatsApp group...

Azim Follow Up

the overall process at UiTM Puncak Alam hospital is still not very efficient, particularly in terms of workflow arrangement from registration to payment... a standard registration fee of RM15 was charged, and although the appointment record already existed, we were instructed to proceed directly to the orthopaedic clinic... from there, we were sent to the X‑ray counter, where a RM60 charge was imposed... unfortunately, there was an error in the X‑ray order - the doctor had mistakenly requested an X‑ray for the right wrist instead of the left wrist, which is Azim’s actual injury... the counter staff suggested voiding the payment and making a new one, but I felt the situation could have been handled more simply, as the cost was the same; it would have been sufficient to amend the order in the system instead... perhaps the staff panicked at that moment... waiting times were quite long, and I had to repeatedly check at the orthopaedic counter since the final registration cutoff was at 12.00 noon, with no clear indication of when our queue number would be called... after completing the X‑ray, we went to have a meal at a nearby shop while waiting... when our turn was finally called, we met the doctor, who explained that the crack was healing well and allowed the bandage to be partially cut, leaving support only around the left wrist... after that, we proceeded to the payment counter... honestly, the medical service itself was good, but the waiting time and overall process coordination still require significant improvement... at this stage, I must admit that my overall satisfaction level remains quite low...

my car underwent its 40,000‑kilometre service at Lon G, with a total cost of RM788.60, inclusive of RM17.76 in service tax... this service was carried out to maintain optimal engine performance, safety, and overall driving comfort... the engine oil was replaced with 5 litres of Proton Genuine Oil 5W30 SP (RM188.98), along with a new oil filter (RM50.25) and drain plug gasket (RM5.26), to ensure proper lubrication, reduce engine wear, and prevent oil leakage... three spark plugs (RM117.45) were replaced to support efficient combustion and smoother engine operation, while the brake fluid (DOT 4) RM24.10 was changed to maintain effective braking performance... the petrol filter with ground cable assembly (RM83.80) was serviced to ensure clean fuel delivery to the engine, and the air conditioner cabin filter (RM69.00) was replaced to improve air quality and cooling efficiency inside the car. Additional services included windshield cleaner refill (RM10.00) for better visibility and throttle body cleaning and spraying (RM64.80 including service tax of RM4.80), which helps improve throttle response and engine idle stability... the labour charges (RM174.96 including service tax of RM12.96) covered a comprehensive inspection and maintenance work in accordance with the 40,000‑kilometre service schedule, ensuring the vehicle remains reliable and well‑maintained for continued use...

Follow Up

Dr Achdiat informed me that the bone has now healed and rejoined well, marking this appointment as my final follow-up session... he advised me to begin focusing on exercises that target the collarbone area, starting with light and gentle movements... the exercises should be progressed gradually by slowly increasing resistance and intensity to support continued healing and strengthen the affected area safely... I was given a further 14 days of hospitalization leave...
