The sun was definitely brighter this morning compared to yesterday. It was in fact, awfully smoggy yesterday. From our apartment, the visibility was only about 100m by Maghrib. It was that bad.
We went out to the Pasar Ramadhan yesterday, near Bangsar Village area and with the smoke there, the air quality was really bad. In fact, when we opened the window last evening, we could smell the burnt stench in the air. Luckily, the boys were not effected. They were happily playing all evening.
This brought back memory of three years back when the air quart around Lembah Kelang was abysmal. Visibility was down to 50 m and you can see the sedimentation in the air even inside the house. It had not gotten as bad as that since, but I was worried that it would.
Since I was on call today, and the boys were both on school holidays, we stayed at the apartment in Bangsar. We planned to stay there at least until the weekend. My poor mother-in-law had to cope on her own with her new maid. Maybe, we would return by Friday, if the boys let us …..
