Really bad haze

Since monday, sg has been getting lots of haze due to the activities in Indonesia.. every year around this time, we get a certain amount of haze. This year, its much worse.

Disclaimer: I'm writing based on my own understanding, experience and views towards this situation. 

A LOT of ppl are very concerned about this situation.. since monday, psi rating was changed to hourly instead of every 3 hours. And last night 19th June 2013, it reached it's all time high at 321. Its the highest recorded level ever for singapore.

Anything above 80, its very obvious that the road is hazy, visibility decreases and you can smell char in the air. Can u imagine 321? All outdoor activities should be cancelled. NEA classified it as hazardous. People should stay indoor or wear a mask whenever u r out.

I went to meet my sis for bkt last night. It got up to 290 when I just reached home.. car are driving slower. I try to not go out if possible.

A lot are asking govt to do something abt it. Ministers said they are considering some things. But no action yet. Tremendous amount of hot spots in sumatra are only on the rise. Uncontrollable.. LSL said something, Dr Vivian said something. But still.. no action.

It actually got slightly better this morning. 100+ but still, causes irritation to healthy ppl like me.. and I've been trying hard to prevent myself from falling sick. A lot of water and fruits! But it doesn't seem to get any better. If only I can work from home.

Colleagues were asking boss if we can activate BCP under such harsh conditions. Boss quoted NEA guideline of 400 PSI. To be honest, I was a little pissed when I saw that. Who can tolerate 400 PSI?! I told myself if it got above 350, I will take urgent leave. I'm not risking my life for this. Above 300 is hazardous, hello?! Anyway, i saw boss's msg this morning. She woke up at 5am to check the weather. Looked clearer she said. She offered for everyone to have taxi claim, either from office or from her own pocket. Glad to know she's still concerned. As at 7am, 2 called in sick for our small team of 5. Yesterday also 3 of us only in the morning. Expecting loads of work. Hai~

My eyes were very irritated last night. Throat feels unwell this morning. And yes, sneezing away.. Sensitive nose.. But I hope i'll be better and I'll refrain myself from going outdoor. Baby will be sending me the N95 later. I need them badly when I'm traveling home from work.

I hope this haze can come down quick and please. Stop burning. They are unstoppable!
