Air Quality

Hopefully the air quality would improve as we approach the weekend. It was atrocious earlier in the week, with Idlan being one of the sufferer. He was close to needing nebulisers on Wednesday.

We could hardly see the skyline then, but from yesterday, it was becoming clearer. I could see KLCC from the highway as I was driving in - in the traffic jam obviously.

It was hazy even first thing in the morningFrom earlier in the week, after duskHopefully with that, I could take my camera for a spin. I was still getting acquainted to the XT-1, the latest addition to the family. So, watch this space …

It Rained!

I got a free afternoon post-call and I had to settle my bills and buy some toner for my printer. Where else to go but Bukit Bintang and of course Low Yat.

The highlight? The new Mac Pro - which I got the chance to sample first hand - and the rain had returned. And it returned with a vengeance!

Luckily I was stuck at Low Yat during the rain. More excuse to just take some time and cruise around for a bit.

The Samsung Chromebook caught my eyes, but I couldn't justify any use case scenario for the time being. I got wifi at work and Gombak House. Blazing broadband at the apartment.

So, I shall be dreaming if the Mac Pro tonight .... It would have to wait for a few more months until we move proper to Bangsar. No space at the Gombak House at the minute.

Scorching

The past week had been a hot one. I fact, I couldn't remember when it last rained since Chinese New Year. Everyone felt it. It had been hot everywhere. I definitely felt it yesterday when I took the camera out to the Bird Park and Orchid Garden. Those places were hit hard, and I would be writing about it separately.

Today, I had to drive across town for the clinic at Park City, and oh boy, did I feel the heat? The problem was, I suspect that I may have some problem with the air conditioning in my car. It was not as cool as usual. Getting stuck in the middle of traffic would be scorchingly uncomfortable.

Good thing that my ward was notoriously cold. It helped balanced things out.

That didn't stop some of the Caucasians doing some sunbathing at my apartment's pool though ...

Such Nice Sunshine

Wednesday morning meant that I would be doing a round at Subang before driving across to Park City after the traffic subside. I was expecting the traffic to be light this morning but it wasn't to be. Maybe the bulk of the city dwellers would only be leaving for their hometown tomorrow rather than today.

Anyhow, I was delighted with the great weather we had after the last few days of gloom and haze. I wished that I could just cancel the clinic, pick up my camera - with the brand new lens - and go out in town.

So, after the Park City clinic, I stopped by at the apartment for lunch with Anita and the boys before the afternoon clinic. Finished things early, after seeing a few referrals. The plan was to take the boys out to the park.

Unfortunately the gloom had returned by then. Heavy clouds threatening to rain. And the boys had already settled down for a spot of Minecraft. An afternoon in then...

Is it Hazy?

Woke up this morning and thought that the sun was a bit dull this morning. Maybe the report on the cool wave going to hit Malaysia might be true.

Bracing myself for cold weather was one thing, but haze was a completely different thing altogether.

As long as it won't be causing problem to my boys breathing and we were free to roam in the park, I could cope with that....
