Hazy days are back!

The haze is back!

Braze yourself for another episode of "Haze", the annual affair courtesy of Indonesia and some bloody stupid assholes who think that open burning is cool!

With no or little rain these few days, the situation don't look too good. This morning when I looked out from my apartment's window, everything is blurry. It gives a false impression of a cool, mountain or highland feel. Well, it's NOT!

Why can't the Indonesia Government banned open burning? They are most probably one of the world biggest haze exporter while we and countries like Singapore and Southern Thailand becomes their biggest importer. Every year, without fail, July, August and September we get hazed! A lot people will start to cough due to deteriorating air quality that we breath. Some get eye-sore or irritation. Anyway, a visit to the doctor is a real possibility. Indonesia is not just polluting the world by burning the forest, she burned our pocket too.
Now the situation still looks under control but will it last? Only time will tell. At the time being, drink more water, refrain from outdoor exercise if possible. Take care.
