After many days of enjoying clear skies and clean air, the haze is finally here. There were strong winds and some rain early this morning. When I spoke to Wuan around 11am just now, it was already getting hazy. Visibility was still good. I could still see the hills in the distance which is about 10km or more from here.

At around 2.30pm, as Minishorts and I were chatting, the air was beginning to smell foul. I looked out and visibility has been reduced to 5km or less. As I am typing this visibility is getting poorer and poorer. There is a gentle breeze but it smells.

Hazy Days

When the plane touched down at the Penang International Airport yesterday a wonderful soothing feeling coursed through me. It was good to be on home ground again after being away for four weeks. After all the discomfort of Kuala Lumpur’s heat, I was looking forward to some cool relief. Our nostrils were greeted by a familiar rank odour as we soon as we stepped out from the terminal. We looked around but Peter was nowhere in sight yet. Only then did we realise what that offensive odour was. Haze was back and in full force.
