Haze season in Singapore

Picture taken from my flat. At 9.40pm and

you can still see a shroud of haze over us.

Am totally disgusted with the haze that has descend upon us and the worse thing is that there is nothing we can do to stop the haze. Yesterday, the Pollutants Standards Index (PSI) was 80 and it was pretty bad already. And today it has gotten worse and the PSI has gone up to 150 which is no longer in the moderate range but the unhealthy range.

My eyes hurt, my throat is sore and yesterday, it was Mid-Autumn Festival and it was dead quiet compared to the previous years where we had little children walking about with their lanterns and sparklers going off throughout the night. That's how the Mid-Autumn Festival should be celebrated but nope, thanks to the haze, parents were smart enough to keep their children indoors.

And the worse part is that the Indonesian government is not doing anything about it. It is not okay to impose such unpleasantness to other people. And it seems that the PSI doesn't look like it's going to improve the next few days either. It is very hard to be nice to your neighbour when they don't give two hoots about how we are doing.
