Hazy Autumn in KL
I guess you have heard it from the news by now that the haze in Kuala Lumpur has reached a critical condition.
But seriously, do I need newspapers to tell me that? I work in a building that is located right in the heart of the city. On the 17th floor, through the tinted glass, one can obviously see that something strange is going on out there. The skylight is dark and when the curious investigate through the window, the pedestrians below hold no umbrellas. HAZE… fat chance experiencing a fog in this part of the world, but this pretty much the same. We have low visibility but the haze poses danger to your health too. The smell of smoke is always there. How would I know? Well, even though I did leave my nose in Japan but this week has been horrible for my nose and throat. The descent of the haze on the city has caused me to have breathing problems, forever sneezing nose, at to the latest addition, hideous coughs.
Hmm, if this carry on, maybe Malaysians will be evolved genetically to have a heavier growth in their nose hair. Sigh, I need that. Maybe by downing a bottle of alcohol into my nose might help. (Don’t ask me whether it works… it is a Chinese method for growing thicker hair.)
Well, it is the weekend. Have a good one wherever you are. For those who are fasting, 頑張って! To the romantics of the season, “Happy Mid-Autumn!”
