Hazy Sky
The API (Air pollutant index) on June 20th, 2013.
Yes, it's the time of the year again for us to welcome the unwelcome haze. Ugh.
Schools in Johor are close as the level air quality reaching hazardous level there.
The blame game has begun. Again and again each year.
The McDonald Olympic Day Fun Run scheduled this Sunday is now postponed till after Raya. No news about other races this weekend or the one next weekend which is the Standard Chartered KL Marathon.
O.O
yeah, here comes the unwelcome who visits us around the same time each and every year.. for almost the past 10 years i supposed??
ReplyDeletethose places you showed in the post are all less serious areas.. Muar and Batu Pahat has an index of over 350 today, and the schools are instructed to close tomorrow..
ReplyDeleteYeah, I show that as I live in Selangor and work in KL.
DeleteStill can see some cloud here.
Not as bad as our Southern neighbour.
I thought I mentioned it in my post?????
i comment while reading mah, read some and comment some, so this comment was before i read that paragraph.. eih, i ada baca tau~~ :D
Deleteeh sooner or later will arrive to KL and selangor la...now there ...soon another place will start and our side here will be hazy :(
Deletesudah sampai lor.
DeleteBad already today :(
urgh, McDonald's Olympic Day Fun Run postponed!! i just saw this morning it changed venue from Dataran Merdeka to Padang Merbok, and during dinner i heard it's totally postponed..
ReplyDeleteso Mak Lina is free this weekend huh?? can cook gyudon already finally?? :p
Not really.
DeleteJust got the greenlight to gatecrash a running event on Sunday! Muahaha!!!
tsk tsk tsk.......one weekend no running sure feet itchy LOL
DeleteI hate haze..but what to do. Just stay indoor as much as possible..
ReplyDeletejust try our best to avoid being sick at this time :'(
DeleteSalesman from Melaka and JB, told me about the hazy sky over there...
ReplyDeleteYou guys take care.
DeleteKak Lina, so during your training drink more water k.
Drink water more all the time not only during training. :-D
DeleteAiyoh! My eyes will sting everyday. I need to run around and the haze may hamper road visions too! Bahaya lah!
ReplyDeleteI find the Indon folks damn stubborn lah!!! Every year is same story and they could still burn the harvested fields. I went to Bali many years ago during their haze season. I saw the burning with my own eyes but the wind blew them across to Java. Funny lah! So Bali was still okay lah.
ReplyDeleteThe tour guide told me that the burning in Bali was just a small thing compared to the main peninsula. Adoi...
the Indon officials even commented that Singapore is so childish to make complaints!! @_@"
Deletethen blame Malaysian & Singaporean investor in Indonesia.
DeleteIndonesian government has no power to monitor these companies that create such environmental issues ke?
Or the kickbacks are very good in terms of $$$
In Winter we always prayed for heavy snow falls and all schools would be closed for 1-2 days. Hooray!!! But here is another story for school's closure! How sad!
ReplyDeleteStay indoors also pening o.O
DeleteI just told Letchumy that Standchart Run might be postponed too! Her eyes went BIG and SMALL.. muahahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteI hope the weather gets better for SCKLM, just like it did last year.
DeleteHere too...especially after the horrible kampung fire yesterday, almost wiped out the whole place.
ReplyDeleteI just read about that. So sad indeed.
DeleteHope the victims will get assistance to help them cope.
Oh dear, dislike this time of the month... It's like a Haze season every year since the last 10years... Coz it's hot, dry, no raining at all, that's why they were doing open burning over there... Sigh!
ReplyDeleteHopefully SCKLM will be haze free, just like last year... They should hire a Rain Shaman to summon the rain in KL asap... Mihmihmih...
Cloud seeding dah la :P
DeleteMany stories about the haze in Singapore in Japan's media today, but I haven't noticed anything about Malaysia. Possibly Singapore is highlighted because so many Japanese expats live there.
ReplyDeleteI look at photos of your haze problem and tell myself I should never, ever again complain about pollen-induced hay fever in Tokyo.
Meantime, we had a typhoon downpour in Tokyo today. No wind, just VERY heavy rain. I was on my way back after visiting the Sumidagawa Jinja (oh, yes, there is a special shrine to appease the water gods), and I was DRENCHED despite my umbrella. I was walking ankle-deep in little mini-Sumidas in every single shitamachi alley.
I thought it was all rather appropriate ...
Take care with the smoggy stuff, ne!
This is the time that we here would be glad for lots and lots of rain, Ru!
DeleteCan you visit the shrine and ask the water gods to be kind to us here? Gods have special international connection right? ^^
how to run la with the haze :(
ReplyDeleteevery year is the same...each year people will make noise then the authority will bla bla bla and next year still same thing happening....
Deleteyesterday news say school authorities says leave it to parents wheher to take their kids out of school or not...aiyo...no eyes see...it's like the authorities also no longer be bother about the haze
yalah, just annouce close la.
DeleteIf parents simply stop the kids from going to school that day, mana tau got left out in studies kan? :(
It is going to get worse soon if no rain expected! :(
ReplyDeleteHope for rain soon
DeleteI saw a former model's instagram today...waaah teruk betul haze kat Singapore. Dah la dia ni green & environmentalist punya orang. She is really upset. We over here are upset too. Dalam rumah pun ada hint of bau asap & hidung pedih2.
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well for your Alpha Run tomorrow! Marilah join kami di Perodua run Ahad ini :D
Millie,
DeleteDuk dalam rumah pun dapat migraine ni. huhuhu
Hope I get to go out tomorrow.
Hazy day in my area too... But the condition isn't as bad as experienced by our Southern friends.
ReplyDeleteI started to get itchy throat, while the bunny has itchy feet for not running this weekend :p
I ran.
DeleteJust coz McD run postponed, doesn't mean I don't run. hehe
Uik! What am I doing, still awake at this hour? I better go to bed now, I'm turning into burung hantu already~
ReplyDeleteYou're becoming ajinomoto izit?
DeleteHAHAHA
Hating the haze!! For so long already, Malaysia and Singapore suffer needlessly for this inconsiderate act from Indonesia. No one is seriously doing anything to stop it. And Indonesia has the nerve to call Singapore childish for complaining and for calling the haze an act of nature!
ReplyDeleteWish I can lengthen my holiday in Penang for another week! It was clear skies there, but once I returned to PJ, I could smell the smoke in the air. Urghh!!
ReplyDeleteJust go back there lah. :P
DeleteToo bad for you that the marathons will all be postponed. Are you disappointed?
ReplyDeletePanda,
DeleteSO far I don't know of any marathon in Malaysia that's been canceled as only SCKLM is held this month.
The McD Fun Run has to be postponed as there are a lot of school children running in it. Other runs this Sunday will still go on as usual.
Let's hope the weather be better next Sunday so that the biggest marathon in Malaysia won't be postponed!
