Sometimes I just feel like I want to jalan-jalan in KL. I’m not sure what I’m searching tor but it has been a pleasant surprise to find that KL has a vibrant art scene. I think there’s a series of exhibitions and events as part of the KreatifKL initiative. I just wanted to check out the art on display at UR-MU in Jalan Tun HS Lee. Something about art appeals to me. The art pieces are a means of silent communication between the artist and his audience. I sometimes see anger, sadness, confusion, love and also a voice reaching out for understanding. World of silence is actually filled with noise. If we only stopped to listen. Art is powerful.🌿

It’s been five years since my last trip to Dublin, what was still a blurry memory. Now, 10 years after the tragic bicycle accident that turned my life upside down, this trip to Dublin is like coming home. This time I’m here to capture my past so that I can walk towards the future in confidence. I hope to capture the memories for my children who were so young when their daddy seemed to become a stranger. It has been a long, painful and lonely struggle to be Zekri Hashim again. This trip is a test of my memory. I want to bury the painful past and hold on to the good times. I made this trip all by myself that my sister and my friend Dr Elmy helped arrange. Alhamdullilah for the memories of the many trips l’ve made from Kuala Lumpur to Dublin since I was 19 years old. It’s like riding a bicycle, you never forget. Only this time I needed passenger assistance. I’m grateful for the Dubai airport golf cart. It would have been exhausting to rush to my transit area. Sometimes we could use some help. I’m back in Dublin where my heart is. I wish my children Adriana and Wafeeq could be with me. Maybe next time.🧑‍🧒‍🧒💗🇮🇪

I am so grateful for the many friendships throughout my life that matter so much more now than ever. Good friends from St John’s Institution like Akram still remember to invite me to participate in events. I can’t tell you how grateful l am to still be included. Although I’m not a golfer it was my great pleasure to be “rubbing shoulders with the puak kayangan”, as my sister teased me, at the Maybank golf championship for the Tiger Cup. Held at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club, usually for members only, it was a rare opportunity for me to get invited. But I’m here to cheer them on. My late Uncle Husni was the avid golfer in our family. My sport, alas, was bicycling. Perhaps I should have taken up golfing instead. Que sera sera, as my sister would say, what will be will be. I must say the golf tournament was very well organised. There were even activities for children so the family doesn’t get bored. For me it was the glorious food and the relaxing calm of the well maintained golf course. Thank you, Akram! ⛳️

These days when I tell my sister I have to go to Chow Kit to get my walking shoes repaired she will say. Good, do a Tiktok video too! She says my videos show her parts of Kuala Lumpur she didn’t know existed or had been revived. My sister says she prefers to live in her cave. So she depends on me to show her what’s happening out there. I think my sister just wants me to go out and about so I will stop moping in my room. Sometimes my leg cramps on the right side affected by the stroke suffered during my coma after the bicycle accident gets really bad. So my wanderings are limited. That’s why my shoes wear out faster on the right foot. But I’m grateful to still be able to be mobile. Only, I need to rest a few days in between. This time after dropping off my shoes at the trusted custom cobblers, whose shop has probably remained unchanged for years, l wandered to the spanking new Kompleks Pasar Raja Bot. It’s aimed at sprucing up the Chow Kit market that houses wet and dry goods. It looks well designed and clean. But uptake is slow. I suppose it’s hard for some to change their ways. Sometimes the old ways just have to make way for modern times. The only thing that shouldn’t change is the delicious food in Chow Kit and Kampong Baru!😋

It was a rare chance to capture people in action doing their good deed by volunteering at Kembara Central Kitchen and Community Centre in Bukit Rimau, Shah Alam. Kembara Meals is now under different owners. But Hero Meals are under Santapan which is a non profit organisation. The meals for disaster relief are given free. That’s why they needed volunteers for the Gaza project. Co-founder of Kembara Kitchen, William Cheah Ui Lim Cheah, was there when I went. Having met him before at another event, it was indeed an honour to meet him again. Due to my physical disabilities I couldn’t help much but I filmed their efforts and the retort process to share with you. Maybe it might inspire you to help.🇵🇸

It’s another adventure to Putrajaya today. Lately I’ve been curious about something my children mentioned, that they loved going to Ol City Mall. So I discovered there’s a RapidKL T523 bus from the Putrajaya Sentral MRT station that takes you straight to the mall. Easy peasy, as my daughter Adriana would say. Wow, lOl City Mall is humongous. It’s bigger than the Pavilion Bukit Jalil. So, I had a real work out just walking around. Good thing the mall has a big surau. Very convenient location. My children told me they loved going to the District21 action park. It is unbelievable! It’s family friendly and has activities for all age groups. I got in with a non active pass because there’s no way I’m getting on any of those rides. But I could see why my children love it. Both Addy and Wafeeq can enjoy the challenging activities. A ninja warrior course. A sky trail, a roller glider and you get the drift. It’s adventure and challenge with safety and air conditioning included. I’m glad I got to see this place. One day, maybe the three of us can enjoy it together 🧑‍🧒‍🧒💗🇲🇾

It was a Nasi Kandaq surr kind of Sunday. Easy by public transport. Get the free for Malaysians GoKL bus from Pasar Seni LRT station.
Then get on the KL Tower shuttle that drops you off at the front entrance.
After that it was a gastronomic delight of Hameediyah nasi kandar. Even met chef Fendi who is famous for Orang Bujang masak apa hari ini on TV. He later hosted food shows on Destinasi TV and now in his own YouTube channel Foodie Fendi. Nice guy. Nostalgia for me at the tower. My sister remembered that I took her and my late mum at the revolving restaurant for high tea once.
The KL skyline has changed since. More skyscrapers!

What do you do in KL?
You become like a tourist and visit places you haven’t explored in a long time. This time it’s Little India in Brickfields when it’s not crowded. The tourist spot has been really given a facelift. Colourful and vibrant. Just a walking distance away from KL Sentral station. What’s there to do? Makan tosai and drink delicious mango lassi like the locals. Best choice ever!

#27 january2024 It was an irresistible visit to Zoo Negara today. Partly to revisit a place I frequented as a child, thanks to my older brothers. It so happened the Zoo was celebrating its Diamond Jubilee (60 years since its founding) and the VIP guests were PM Anwar Ibrahim and wife. It’s good to see the zoo was crowded with curious and lively children. A lot has changed since my younger days. The Pandas definitely wasn’t around back then. I hope they can extend the loan from China. Always a great place for family fun and education.🐼
