Jul 7 Tue 21 Muharram 1448H, an informal b-fast gathering of TRG senior loyars by an x-staff of Trg Bar in Pok Maseh. Noted that I was the most senior, but the only non-loyar.

The first time was 2018 Jul 23 Mon with ank2. Nearly 2h in the orchard. In P-Rimau the fallen kelat apparently survived, and was harvested. Could the soil have healed off mocca? Home-ed at past sun-set. It was a traffic disturbance at the kuda stretch of Ru Tapir. The following two days were time to giving out the deriang, covering nebors, adik-beradik, and buddies. In the while, a cobia was secured through Hafiz, Mek's SIL. SB popped-in Jul 5 Sun, he was on a long break-WFH in Marang, until Hanis delivery in 2nd half of Aug.

FOTOTEKSES-106 is for 2026 Aug 1-15, topping the PARALLEL, since the notorious covid has been. Noted the early Aug congregation of RXZ 8.0 in the GB motor circuit. And N9 PRN 16 with the results copy-ing Johor PRN recently, announced not long after into the night. 
Aug 1 Sat 17 Safar 1448H, DRV-JERTEH with mixed missions. NA to brief clients on terekoh, in Sumatera. As always camped in P-Rimau, to have a look for any luck of pisang. One lemak-manis was harvested. Two more appeared to survived the mocca. Four new tandan appeared. But moktam was on the tree, harvested that were hand-reached. P-Panjang was also visited. Surprisingly some deriang were still on the tree. On the way home counter-current with the returning RXZ. It was pollutedly very noisy. Meal-ed in Merang, thus home-ed at sunset.

Aug 8 Sat 24 Safar 1448H, dropping by in SERDANG BARU next to BUKIT TUNGGAL for an house warming makan2 of NA's buddy's sister, an MO in HSNZ. Interestingly it was made known that the caterer was Ayub-Nisah, a collaborate of the wife who NA used to speak to to order cooki for occasion, of the host relative whose hubby a SATU staff. But Bukit Tunggal was more connected to me because a primary school there, Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Tunggal is the school where all my siblings learned to read and write for six years each, aged seven to twelve. More nostalgic was the majestic real hill of Bukit Tunggal which now had been flattened. In the 60-s Bukit Tunggal was a doorway to the town KT by ferry in Bukit Datu. The open-air pay-ing cinema was another phenomenon in Bukit Tunggal in the 60-s. And a local ROTI shop, of POK MBONG who passed Kalang Arang every afternoon. A contemporary of ROTI NAWI in Batu-6 which had ceased long time ago before batu-6 became a town.
