Flood in Pekan 2

At last they dropped the food supplies today .... "Kaboosh !!!"
Kan Mak Tiri dah cakap guna helikopter hantar bekalan .... kalau dengar cakap Mak Tiri
tak la huru hara ..... ni orang dah kecoh baru nak guna heli ... "Kaboosh !!!"
Wei...wei ..wei ... jangan tersilap campak udah le ye
Kang bocor lak atap rumah Mak Tiri ...
Udah le hari tu bergegar segala kaca dalam rumah, bagai nak pecah tingkap & pintu.

I may be celebrating my Raya here in Pekan.
All roads out of Pekan are still inaccessible to vehicles.
Currently Jalan ke Rompin only accessible by lorries.
We're hoping the road will be accessible to all vehicles by tomorrow.
Its our only way out & back to KL. But if things remain the same, then confirm la
Raya kali ni kat Pekan saje .....

Unfortunately, there won't be much celebrating coz we have to ration our food.
Also, we have to save on gas.
I'm cooking on a portable gas cooker, the one you use when you go camping, coz we're out of gas. And I'm counting the gas canisters, hoping it will last until end of the month coz mengikut ramalan keadaan ini akan berterusan sehingga hujung bulan.
Yesterday lori tangki minyak sampai & there was a very long queue
for petrol. Itu tak termasuk yg dtg beli petrol dgn containers sebab kereta
memang dah tak de minyak.

Tapikan .... I have not been in a place where people can be dire stricken but
they are still.. hehehe.. other than here in Pekan. Eg. :-
"Mak cik, rumah naik air ke ??"
"Sampai pintu dah ..." Hehehe....
( Rumah kampung kat sini semuanya bertangga so kalau dah sampai pintu maknanya tangga dah tenggelam)
"Mak cik, tak pindah ke ??"
"Tak pe ... boleh lagi ni .." hehehe
"tak bahaya ??"
"Dok eh ..." hehehe
"bekalan makanan cukup??"
"boleh la tu .... kite jimat jimat le ...." hehehe
Dia pakat suka sokmo ......
May God bless them for their humbleness & their strong spirit.
I can definitely learn from them. :-
"Na, kenapa pipi tu lebam ??"
"tak de apa .... terlanggar tembok ..." hehehe

I understand why they don't want to go to Pusat Banjir. Its not exactly a comfortable place to stay. Apalagi kat situ tak de privacy.
Of course where the situation is dangerous, they have to go there whether they want to or not. Only where the situation is NOT dangerous, barulah they are given the choice.
Lagipun Pusat Banijir pun kekurangan bekalan.
Semalam baru dapat buat penghantaran bekalan melalui udara.
For now keadaan stabil ..
but we are bracing for the next "hit" bila air pasang besar bermula malam Jumaat nanti.

Salam Idul Adha to all ....................
