2024 Jul 1-15 covid, was MCO-F5-56, the accompany-ing FOTOTEKS-es, topping the previous COVID-MCO-es. Covid was still scary but very quiet. It was infrequently given attention these days. In fact appearing from time to time in the media narrative saying that covid was a global evil scam. MK reported Jul 5, "... The Health Ministry has announced new guidelines that will treat Covid-19 similarly to other respiratory diseases, as the threat of the disease subsides. Beginning July 15, the ministry said it will no longer issue home surveillance orders (HSO) that compel Covid-19 patients to confine themselves to their homes for five days..." 
The weather was rather sluggish. Sporadic torrence of rain, weaved with neither hot and sunny. The compound thus could not be scheduly maintained. Jul 9 Tue 3 Muharam 1446H, securing kitchen sundries in ALAMANDA, where we had not been for quite a while then. Noted the quietness of the place, plus notices of shops "renovation". Very much in contrast to the time when it was newly opened. Makan-wise, a plenty were comparable in BBB itself.
Jul 15 Mon 9 Muharam 1446H, DRVTGG with NA. Both weather and traffic were excellent all the way, on both LPT-s. In Kemaman, detoured to MokChili for a quick chiro. On proceeding, coasting to Paka, took the IBOK-KIJAL-KEMASIK internal route, noting many new roads-bridges in tandem with ECRL. In Kerteh town singgah one eatery, Warung Tepi Padang-co-Telaga Kopi, for a late lunch. In Paka, detoured to Santong route to re-get LPT2. Home in W-Tengah just before the sun set.

Jul 1 Mon 24 Z-Hijjah 1445H, staying home. Audited the house for the leave. The plants of hopeful were the newly planted baby pisang-nangka x-TJHOME, to start a new cluster of another varity in WTHOME. And the ank-nyior. Some kepok were also secured at Sri Tanjung.
Jul 2 Tue 25 Z-Hijjah 1445H, DRVKUL in TAV with NA. Lalu Dungun, gathering goodies at several pit stops. And get LPT2 at Dungun toll. The drv throughout was in a good weather. And light traffic, including in the notorious MRR2.
Jul 6 Sat 29 Z-Hijjah 1445H, an incomplete gathering of ank-cu2, in sans of Ruby's and Muzani's. Incidentally, SB and Alya et al were on home weekend, which was rather extended in conjunction of new Hijrah Year, 1446H. As always KEK-ING for the Jul-ians.
Jul 13 Sat 7 Muharam 1446H, a mission drv to KL, taking NA for a meeting in the BAR. Noted a completely different KL that had changed. It was not like I used to in the 70-s. But seeing the location in the vicinity brought back the past memories. Jalan Traverse, the Muzium, the Lake Garden, the Post Office, Masjid Negara, Jalan Kinabalu, Jalan Tugu, The Rail Station, Rumah Persekutuan, and the Padang Merdeka. Jalan Tun Perak and inwards into the heart of KL were sunken by high rise buildings. Comparing to how KL was, it's hard not to remember two buddies. One is since 1964 through the long school-Univ days. Mohd Embong, a once IT manager of DBKL. The other is a SAS-buddy since 1969. Abd Hakim Borhan, a once KL Mayor.
