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

Something long forgotten

Just finished dinner with my family at home. Somehow conversation during dinner came to be about my grades in primary school and how I topped my class for the first two years of my primary school studies. At this point I was a little surprised. I had thought that I only topped my class in the first year and got 'second in class' the subsequent year. As it turned out, there were two 'first in class' in that year (primary two). A girl in my class at that time, whose grades had always been very close to mine, finally caught up with me and thus both of us topped the class that year. Haha, that was the closest she got to catching up with my grades, I was still "undefeated" in that class of my lower primary school years:) Haha.
I had really long forgotten about this part of my early school years. It was only when it was again mentioned that I had some vague memories of that. Still, it sure was very good "news".

Latest... Results!!

Hot news, which I only just received!
The results for my finals have finally arrived!!

After all the anticipating yesterday, I am really glad and relieved with what I saw on the screen when I logged in to the site. I had passed all my modules with the exception of Statistics 2. Well, I had been well aware that it was impossible to have passed that anyways (details in the earlier post).  What I'm really relieved with is the fact that I've passed my Introduction to Economics module. There are quite a few modules in my second year which hinged on me passing Intro to Econs and it was thus imperative that I secured that prerequisite for me to continue with my studies. As there were a few who had gotten their results since yesterday afternoon, I had been really anxious since yesterday, expecting the worst. As it turned out, I had passed and will be continuing with my studies in Year 2.
Of course, after this first round of University examinations, I am in a better position to produce better results for future examinations. On reflection, I have really been lacking in keeping my revision in pace with lessons. Well, after one year of Uni studies, I am sure to put in more time and effort to revise consistently and to do more practices to test my knowledge.
Next up, I'm going to select my new classes soon and then... I'm coming for you Year 2!
