The Diary Game [March 20, 2024] - Supervision of the Pumping Construction Site and Enjoying Leumang as an Iftar Menu

Starting Wednesday in the month of fasting is an infinite blessing for me, I have done many productive activities while fasting. This morning I went to work to one of the villages in the Meurah Mulia subdistrict, North Aceh Regency with a shared agenda, namely with the number one person in this subdistrict. We visited Ranto village to supervise prospective activities that would be carried out in terms of improving the people's economy.

We checked the place where the pipeline will be built to irrigate the residents' rice fields which have been dry for several years, this is because the Krueng Pasee Dam has not been repaired by the central government. The sub-district head and several other teams, including me, are planning a type of pumping for the rice fields in Ranto village, where this pumping can later be used by residents in farming secondary crops such as rice.

The implementation plan that will be carried out from this pumping is to embank the river that passes through this village, the source of the water taken will be from the Krueng Pasee River. Of course, our estimate is that building one pumping unit will cost around 300,000,000 IDR or the equivalent of 66,666 Steem if calculated at a time when the price of Steem was around 4,500 IDR. The budget is quite large considering the need for pipes that reach more than 600 meters from the river to the rice fields. However, this price will be covered from the 2024 village budget.

My task after carrying out this supervision is to make a BoQ and Shop Drawing to calculate real cost requirements, of course I will do this as a form of my responsibility in the world of work. We left here at around 1 o'clock, from here I went to a place, namely an automatic repair shop which is a motorbike maintenance place.

This automatic workshop is in Geudong sub-district, North Aceh Regency, I visited this place because I wanted to carry out regular maintenance on my wife's motorbike. In the three hours I've been here, the workers at this workshop have carried out perfect maintenance on my wife's motorbike.

Leaving here with the aim of going home, of course because it was already afternoon, before going home I took the time to buy an iftar menu, namely Leumang at Simpang Rangkaya, as ordered by my wife to bring home an iftar menu other than what she had prepared at home. This Leumang cake is made from sticky rice steamed using banana leaves. I bought three pieces at a price of 10,000 IDR per piece so the total I had to pay was 30,000 IDR or the equivalent of 6.6 Steem at the current price.

When I got home, I didn't do much meaningful activity except cleaning myself in the bathroom and chatting with my wife while waiting to break the fast. When I finished breaking the fast I performed the evening prayer and then prayed the taraweh prayer in my village's prayer room.

So from The Diary Game, on Wednesday, March 20 2024, it can be concluded that in the morning I carried out a routine work routine to supervise the pump construction plans in Ranto Village, then in the afternoon I visited the motorbike maintenance place in Geudong District, while At night I only perform routine worship in the month of Ramadan, namely taraweh with other congregation members in my village's prayer room.
