AL-FATIHAH

My grandma passed away on the 10th of April after couple of years been bedridden from diabetic and other ilness related to old age. I & my wife started our journey from Penang to Kuala Lumpur (about 400km) right after performing our 'suboh' (dawn) prayer i.e. around 6.30am with our trusted TMax. We manage to reach Taman Melawati around 10am, just in time to perform the 'sembahyang jenazah' and for the burial.

We got a lot of comments about how crazy we were to ride that far... how only 'young' people could do that.. or to make sure once we reached home, to rub the special ointment to ensure 'urat tak masuk angin'... anyway for the younger relative, we are the 'cool couple' and the topic of conversation among us was nothing else but revolve around motorcycle scene.

Anyway, by 4pm we started to go back to Penang. Our journey back was met with heavy rain from Tg Malim until Ipoh. Fortunately with TMax, we were not much affected by the rain. The windshield and body protect us from the incoming rain. At most, we a bit of splash from other vehicles. We reached home at 9 pm.
