The Sediments

Now I could understand where the eye irritation and tickle cough cane from. One look at my balcony explained what the haze was all about.

The balcony floor were covered with a layer of dust, sedimentation if you like. Fine little fleck of dust that would seep through everywhere that was exposed.

I had been carrying this irritating cough since last week and it had been getting worst the last couple of days. Not fun. And then there would be the small matter of mopping the balcony. I was sure my maid would have some fun with that.

In saying that, it rained last night and again early this evening. The haze was slowly improving with that. I could actually see some blue sky today. ‎

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!
