More hazy days

It's been a week since my last update on the haze situation. The PSI levels are still generally quite high though it has been fluctuating quite a bit over the past week, and the swings in the levels are really huge. There have been days when it was above 200 or even 300 and then some days between 100 to 200. However, the skies still look blurred and it does not look like the situation is going to improve any time soon, with the source of the problem still not removed. Those days when the PSI dips below 200 do offer some glimmer of hope, but the PSI soon shoots back up again.
Having said all that, I have been seeing people outdoors swimming and jogging. In fact, quite a lot of people, even children! That is worrying. However, I have also seen more people with their masks on while outdoors as well, even students at my school. That really is helpful as I would not be like "the odd one out" when I put on my mask. Although this shouldn't really bother me actually, health comes first! Hopefully, the increase in number of people putting their masks on means that more people have gotten their hands on some supply of the masks. It is really worrying to see people out in the open without masks.
Well, the haze is here and there's not much we can do about it. However, we can take measures to ensure that we don't get too affected by it. Do drink lots of water and put on your masks as much as possible when you are exposed to the air outside. Also, refrain from too much activities outdoors and do have lots of rest. I sure hope the haze goes away soon.

Spider problem

Hmm... spider problem. Yes, in my room.
Well okay, the spider in my room is not the problem exactly. In fact, I actually welcome it due to the mosquito problem in my room. Haha, using one "problem" to tackle another problem.
Okay, the issue that I'm having is, like I've said, not that there is a spider in my room. That's fine so long as it minds it's own business and does not bother me. However, it seems to find the space under my table very appropriate for weaving its webs which I do agree with as I believe that that's where the mosquitoes usually hide( I've been bitten on my legs and feet way too many times). However, it would be awesome if it would keep its webs to specific areas rather than everywhere as my feet occasionally bump into some "furry" stuff which can get really annoying. I've had to clean away its hard work twice so far which I am really apologetic about of course.
If only there was a way to let the spider know to keep to specified areas of my room...
Haha,that's all.. nights.

Haze...

Hmm yea, the haze is definitely more evident this week. The skies look hazy and blurred, and even the air smells charred. However, I still do not see that widespread panic which was the case two years ago I think. I don't see people scrambling for N95 masks or hear reports of those masks being out of stock in retail stores...
Or maybe it's because I'm now in Uni and I've been so busy that I've not really been keeping track of much news. Not to mention, I'm not in "school" where there are masks provided for us. One thing is for sure though, I hardly saw people wearing masks even when they were outdoors.
Finally set up my CDP account!

Hazy days

It seems like the annual haze is back...
I don't really see the haze but apparently the news reports that the haze is indeed back and the all too familiar PSI readings are back up on our TV screens haha...
I sure hope the haze does not get very bad
Otherwise, we'd all be kept indoors again

Friday morning

Really need to get to writing once a thought pops into my head, mostly when I have the time to just relax and let my mind wander... hmmm whi...
