the haze is back!

is that a good thing or a bad thing?

i tried to convince sj that last night's 'smoke' was due to the kids in the neighbourhood lighting up candles and carrying their lanterns. apparently not. my mum says the visibility has been reduced to 2 cars' length. this coming from a driver indeed.

pros of the haze:
1. my mum volunteered to drive me to finance exam this morning. her rationale is to keep me indoors (aircon) as often as possible. think there was the exam factor too. and she wants to get those air purifiers, which i told her not to. but i think she will still get it for my grandma's sake. thankfully our family is healthy and no one has had any visible violent reactions/respiratory problems yet.

2. feels like genting, albeit the warm weather, according to sj

cons:
1. poor sq has to go ard with a mask, tearing with his eyes red and spinning head.
2. will u be more affected if u live on a higher floor or a lower floor?
3. smell of chao-ta aka burning smell

today also saw many ppl in my neighbourhood getting married. one from my block and one from the opposite block. my mum says the groom is like an ah beng - he and his bestmen behave like they have never worn jackets and suits before. haha. early in the morning the bestmen and the bridesmen were shouting from teh sixth floor to the car park. i could hear them while reading finance.

not forgetting last night, while i was studying qm, i could hear those noisy sparklers even though i was in an enclosed room. mid-autumn festival is getting noisier - with all the techno music lanterns and noise-polluting sparklers. btw, HAPPY MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL! i spent the night studying for finance. so did many of my fellow finance mates.

spent an early mid-autumn party with my frens. meant to help everyone relax, in the midst of all the projects and exams. thanks to all who attended, to sj, sq, lam, ryan, and thanks to siu for sponsoring the venue.

now i am on the roll for all the exams and projects. come baby come!
