You might have heard of the haze disaster in some parts of Malaysia if you've been following the news. This problem is nothing new, but it is still detrimental. Well, I don't think 'haze' will ever be associated with the word 'healthy'. It started a few days ago, due to the harvesting season in Sumatera. I don't know much about it either than it's getting worse here. As you can see in the picture taken from my classroom, the Telekom Malaysia building and a few buildings around it look so... unreal. The haze has thickened considerably compared to a few days ago. Two days ago, the quality of the air seemed to be looking up but last night, it worsened. I can't even go out without breaking into coughing fits anymore.
Still, the level is currently still 100+, so no drastic action can be taken yet on the government's part. Although the level has not yet reached 200, it is impossible for people to move around in this kind of atmosphere. It's suffocating. It's terribly frustrating.
Suffocation is one thing. Skin irritation and eyesore are another. Besides, the haze is trapping so much heat. It's extra warm in my hostel. Even in the classroom with the air-conditioner on, the heat still makes its presence known to us. I find myself taking showers more than four times per day, as opposed to three at the maximum. It sounds like I'm wasting so much water but I just cannot help it.
It's just so warm, and the rain just won't come down.
Besides, it is very much detrimental for our eyesight; even more so when we're driving on the road.
Just how much longer are we going to be tortured like this?
By the way, here are the videos I took. Sorry for the stupid angle. I just thought it would be interesting~
And I said 'In case I haven't tell you...' instead of 'In case I haven't told you...'. Sorry~
