With a Vengeance

It was a fine day a couple of days back. It was no more by the time I drove back home yesterday afternoon. This morning, things got from bad to worse. The haze was back. And it was back with a vengeance.

The visibility was down to 500 m from where I was sitting at my clinic. When I walk on the passageway between my hospital's two towers, I can see the haze seeping end at the other end. The whole place should be covered before the end of the day. I thought it would get worse.

I could smell it from inside my clinic room. I had a whiff of it even inside the ICU, and my ward. Imagine if you were stuck there, it would do your head in.

I have to drive across to HUKM later during lunch. There was a workshop there at 2, and hopefully I could settle everything in the ward before then. The question was, where to have lunch. Should I head there early and get something to eat there? Definitely wouldn't be dining in open air!
