The haze is so bad that it I could smell it seeping into my car while I was out driving for an appointment today. In fact, it was so bloody bad that I could hardly see the buildings I normally see in the distance. Here, I even took a picture of it while I was driving and don't start getting on my case about driving and taking pictures at the same time ... LOL!
This is going to ruin my run sessions in the evening cos I don't fancy breathing in lungs full of dirty air. In fact, it probably explains why I was gasping for breath while running yesterday. Damn! Why do we have to put up with this bloody haze every damn year!
I pity the boys cos they walk home from school and will be breathing in this horrible thing. I think I'll go get them some face masks later on my way home. In fact, I think I'll be using that mask myself too!
Like an online running friend of mine mentioned on his FB account,
'Smokers in KL rejoice! Step outside and take in a deeeep breath! Smell that? Knock yourselves out!'
That's how we non-smokers feel when you selfishly pollute the air with your second hand smoke!
.
it's that bad over there huh? at my side, it's better today. but yesterday was bad. i could smell the polluted air from my home. ><
ReplyDeleteyeah, better buy masks for yr boys and yrself! it's not good sniffing the badly polluted air. Take care!
Jean - It's bad. The house was smelling of haze yesterday that wifey was complaining it was making her tired and weak.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the sound of that. Masks all round I think. I wish you sniffing easy days.
ReplyDeleteThank God, the haze here in Penang is all like gone or hibernating, i missed my run last week too, haze was real bad then..........
ReplyDeletehow come lah, this annual homage of the haze cannot be contained meh? i thought we and Indon good good friend,,,,,,,sigh
The World According To Me - Thanks :D I'm definitely going to go get some masks soon :D
ReplyDeleteEugene - Lucky you :D I'm more pissed because I'll have to rethink my evening runs.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too but looks like it's going to be a common problem for a long time to come ... siggghhh ...
Yeee.... not healthy to run outside now. :(
ReplyDeleteYeah, smokers - inhale the haze and multiply it by 10. That's how we smokers felt when we had to inhale your secondhand smoke. :(
Hmmm... I didn't notice the haze, but my mom said it was pretty bad earlier today
ReplyDeleteLina - I hope it gets better tomorrow cos it's my running day :D
ReplyDeleteSmokers (as far as I'm concerned) are and will always be a selfish bunch of people.
Terra - It was. I was driving and everything in the distance was a blur. I think it cleared up in the early evening though.
