HAZE went up to 'Hazardous Range' in Singapore!!!

On 19 Jun 2013, 1pm, the PSI was 152. This photo taken while I was having lunch at Marina Bay Sands. You can hardly see Esplanade from the photo right.  Not only that, the acrid smell of burnt wood pervaded the island-state.

On 19 Jun 2013, 10pm, the PSI went up to a "Hazardous" level of 321!
It was by far the highest since 1997 in Singapore.
I have never seen Singapore in this bad state before.
The NEA said it had alerted its Indonesian counterpart on the situation "and urged the Indonesian authorities to look into urgent measures to mitigate the transboundary haze occurrence".

Seriously who is to blame for the HAZE?
The Indonesian? Maybe not...
Ministry official Hadi Daryanto attempted to shift some of the blame onto Malaysia and Singapore, saying their palm oil companies that had invested in Indonesia were also responsible.

Well whoever had caused this, I hope they can spare a thought for others, I believe their family and friend or even themselves are affected by this. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and no more haze. I wanted to buy mask earlier at Jurong Jem but they already sold out. The staffs said it was sold out since afternoon and they are ordering more.  I hope all of you manage to get your mask.

My advice is to stay in an aircon place this period and cut down on outdoor activities.
Drink more water too. 

Stay tuned to

Me: "Mummy, why all my towel got HAZY smell?"
Mum: "Ya because I hanged the towel outside the HAZE smell got into the towel!!!

Maybe we should all start to hang our laundry inside for this few days.... =p
 
And ya so far there is no news on if the PSI reaches above what and stop working...
So ya sorry you still need to work. =p

    This was the worst situation since year 1997, hope all concerned can solve the haze problems effectively this time and come up with the workable plan.

INTERVIEW WITH MR WORLD SINGAPORE 2022 (SENIOR): S3 UMAR ABDUL HAMID

 1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? Personally, as the grand final day drew nearer, and diet and water had to be stricter, it was hard trying to keep up with the nutrition portion as well as the rest and recovery portion. Aside from that, i was starting to feel a little more anxious that i should and a huge part of it was because i invited my mother to be part of the audience and i wanted the event to be memorable for her. But i guess everything was worth it in the end.  2) What was the prep process like? From the auditions all the way to the Grand Finals, i knew i had to step up as prior to the audition, i let myself go quite abit because of the fact that i was juggling between work and handling my 3 children. But i guess after the audition. i made a clear intent to give 100% to get ready for the grand finals and since then, i made more conscious de...

My Honest Review of the LUMOS Tablet — Budget-Friendly, Surprisingly Capable

I’ve always had a soft spot for discovering local tech gems — and that’s how I stumbled onto the LUMOS Tablet. You probably know LUMOS for their projectors, but they’ve recently launched a tablet that caught my attention. Spoiler: For the price, it actually delivers. Here’s my personal take after using it for a couple of weeks — plus the specs you’ll want to know. ⸻ First Impressions Unboxing the LUMOS Tablet felt like a good start. It has a 10.1-inch Full HD IPS Display (1920 x 1200), which immediately stood out — bright, clear, and vibrant enough for Netflix marathons or YouTube spirals. The tablet weighs around 500g and has a sleek, modern design that doesn’t feel cheap at all. It’s light enough to toss in your tote or backpack without feeling like you’re carrying a brick. ⸻ Under the Hood – Technical Specs Here’s a quick look at what powers this tablet: • Processor: Octa-Core 2.0GHz • RAM: 4GB • Storage: 64GB (expandable up to 256GB via MicroSD) • Operating System: ...
