Pekeliling is Shifting - Part 2

This is one fond block of memory which I'd like to keep in my little brain for as long as I can. Unfortunately , it's going ... but when ? I've no idea. Blocks A and B are already emptied out, leaving a few other blocks which are still being occupied until further notice. Two aunts who are still staying in Block C and G are still hanging around. Most of the occupants in Blocks A and B are allocated units in newly-built government apartment blocks at Sri Rampai, Setapak. I've been to that area before ; it's pretty convenient because there's ready buses available as well as a market , shops and some eateries.

But there's a hitch in moving all the occupants from Pekeliling. The Government didn't make enough units to place all occupants in one single area in Setapak. Each new block can only house half of the occupants in the old block - what a hiccup!!! Didn't they calculate properly how many units they had to build before even deciding to move people from their homes?

According to Aunt #3 who rents a flat unit from DBKL , she is trying to apply for a different flat unit which is around the Jinjang area because it's more convenient to her in terms of transportation , to pay her bills and to move around. Wonder what she means - because there's no LRT stations in Jinjang, unlike Setapak where they have a Wangsa Maju Putra LRT station. And hey, comparing Jinjang and Setapak , perhaps it's better to stay in Setapak - the name sounds more glamour at least heheh....

Aunt #2 faces the agony of staying alone if renting occupants start moving out of Block C. Hers is a bought unit, and occupants who bought the flat units a long long time ago still has no where to go until this point of time. She'd probably have to move in with Aunt#2 if that happens, because it's simply unsafe for her to take the lift up and down in a quiet Block C. I could imagine how Block C would be - ghostlike just like Block A or B! Those blocks are all dark and quiet, the only good thing would probably be the clean streets down at the pavements because for once, they are litter-free since the blocks are people-free. :) Even the carparks are empty ; no cars parked at the parking grounds. Even though it is orderly , it never cease to give me this eerie-creepy feeling everytime I look at them on my way back from the office in the evening....
