Malaysia expanded lockdown measures a few days ago. Our desire to return to Ipoh is further setback.
Nothing to be done but continue to scour travel archives.
This is of our favourite murals in Ipoh Old Town: Evolution by Ernest Zacharevic, looking decidedly more fades than in previous years, which accentuates its title. Follow this link for a peep at the mural when it was completed in 2014.
This post is my contribution to Monday Murals hosted by Sami at ColourfulWorld.

Oh no. Has there been a new outbreak?

I’m afraid Malaysia has spiked. We are sitting on tenterhooks in Singapore.

Oh dear. Have they identified the source?

I’m afraid I haven’t been following Malaysian news closely. We follow it enough to check in on our family.

It was a beautiful mural, what a pity it’s so degraded now.
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals.
Best of luck with the new lockdown and keep safe.

Thanks Sami.
We, in Singapore, can still do quite a bit, although tighter measures have been put in place in preparation of the coming Chinese New Year. It is our neighbour whose numbers have spiked and so all hope of borders opening have been quashed.

It was fabulous, wasn’t it? Still full of character 🙂 🙂 The noose is tightening here too. All very depressing!

Thanks so much Su.
Better to lockdown than to risk even more … we just have to sit tight!
How are things with you? Is morale on the street still optimistic?

We’ve had a couple of Covid scares in the last week or two with people leaving quarantine, then discovering they have Covid. Miraculously, there doesn’t seem to have been further transmission; but it’s been a wake-up call.

I hear you – it is good that they are detected at that point!

Thanks so much Ali! I do, too. And as it ages, it becomes more and more enticing as one has to look closer to see the details.

A slower, less hectic time. Except that with 2020, it seems like we’ve been thrown a chance to go back a little.

Ugh. Sorry they extended it. We are supposed to get out at the end of the month, but seeing your announcement makes me nervous that it could happen here at a drop of a hat!
Keep those archives coming though ~ You’ll be out and about before you know it.
