And The World Shall Be *Cough* Consumed In *Cough* Ashes.

The big talking point in Malaysia now has got to be the haze. As foul as the air is at the moment sadly people still have to leave the sanctuary of their homes and endure the very unhealthy trip to work. And as todays API (Air Pollution Index) has stated that many places like Port Klang, Shah Alam and Kuala Selangor were hazardous while Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Gombak, Putrajaya and Seremban were very unhealthy, it leaves me wondering when the hell is any of this going to clear up. I know it probably won't be very soon, which is a worry.

Schools have been closed to to health concerns while even airports have been ordered to halt operations temporarily due to poor visibility. And many people thought that it couldn't get any worse than back in 1997 when the smell of smoke filled the air and our eyes got sore just by trying to look a few meters in front of us. Well deja vu people.

I hardly even feel like smoking now with the foulness about. Well I guess some good did come out of all this. Just hope it passes sooner than later
