Singapore Haze hits the Record High of 371

I thought it was bad when the PSI reading hit 290 last night but today at 1 pm, it has soared to 371, another record breaking in Singapore history.

PSI Reading from NEA

All the newspaper have a big headline screaming how high the PSI is but again there is no solution given by any authorities.

At 2 pm, the PSI reading has reduced to 355 but it is still very smoky and visibility is low.

I already felt drowsy and tired when the PSI was 290 yesterday night but when it was 371, I feel my body is weak and head is heavy. I cannot focus on any activity, let alone working! I worry my 70-year mum cannot take it as she looks lethargic these few days but we have nowhere to go. The government told us to stay indoor as the haze has reached hazardous level but we feel equally choke as outside. I regret not installing air-con as I always think it is a "wants" not "needs" and also afraid my family members will abuse the air-con and give me heart attack when seeing the monthly utility bill.

Looking at the response from the Indonesian authorities, I do not expect much from them. The only thing is to pray hard, hopefully the Rain God will give us some heavy downpour and flood the Sumatra!

Quote of the Day: Hazy Day is a MC Day

The PSI reading is at 172 at 3.15 today! It is another record breaking for the week.

Looks like it's going to get worst than better. My mum says she's feeling a bit "gong gong" (dizzy) already! My little niece is complaining the haze ruined her school holidays & she misses the sunny day! I'm missing the fresh air regardless of what day!

Here is the quote of the day, inspired by the silly hazy day!

A Sunny Day is a Happy Day!

A Windy Day is a Fly Kite Day!

A Raining Day is a Sleepy Day!

A Stormy Day is a Scary Day!

A Hazy Day is a …… MC Day!

    Cough!  Cough! Cough!

Take care, everybody!

Note: MC refers to medical certificate, it is issued by doctor when you are feeling sick so that you can show it to your school or employer.

SG Annual Haze is Back!

Annual #SGhaze is back! Singapore is once again choked in haze and it is even more aggressive this year! The Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) reading has reached 155 at June 17, the highest since 1997. According to NEA, it has reached the unhealthy level once it is passed 100.

The haze has gone worst since last Friday, June 14, not only it was terribly smoky but smell bad too. As usual, there is still no one word being mentioned by Indonesian government, let alone action.

Many Singaporean are already complaining having problems breathing, sore throat, dry eyes and coughing. Like many of them, I’m also experiencing the same problems - chest is tight, eyes are dry, throat is dry and nasal is blocked. I’m DESPERATELY NEED of FRESH AIR!

 

 Oh please, Indo government, have mercy! Cough! Cough!
