When are we going to stop getting haze during this time of the year, I wonder? :(
ReplyDeleteI was so happy this morning when it rained heavily for about two hours and i knew that i really had to hit the road and go for my run,, the place that i live in was litteraly shrouded with haze for the past two days and it was bad,,,now my lovely wife down with sore throat and Jovial is feverish,,,,,,,,
ReplyDeleteI am going for a beer or two later after the run and doze off nicely,,,,,,take care now y a
Thought the half day rain could have taken away the haze and Bananaz can sing 'I can see clearly now the haze is gone' but sorry still not clear as yet.
ReplyDeleteat least it was wetness-day yesterday and the rain cleared the haze.. but seems like its coming back for the thirst-day and continue frying us on fry-day?? :p
ReplyDeleteOh no! Not again! *sighz*
ReplyDeleteI seriously doubt we can ever totally eradicate the oil palm farmers in Indonesia slashing and burning to clear their land. Becos Indonesia is so freaking big. Malaysia and Singapore would have to contribute more money and machinery to arm these farmers so they don't have to clear their land by slashing and burning. But because of corruption, a lot of this money may not reach the farmers to help them in the end.
Lina, probably never the way I see it. Sigh..
ReplyDeleteEugene, any rain is better than none. We need more of that here in KL though we are getting some vague sunshine today. Hope your wifey is feeling better.
Bananaz, we seriously need a heavy downpour at least to clear the day's haze. Tomorrow we start all over again. How exciting!
ReplyDeleteSK, it's Saturday today so it's kind of a Sad'day as the day gets overcast? No matter, weekends are happy days..
Hi Mockingbird. It's going to be an extremely financially-challenging project for any country to take on. Sumatra land mass far exceeds that of Peninsula Malaysia and Sgp combined! We can only pray for the wind to blow the other way. You're right - Sigh..
