The great haze first started on the 14th of June, escalating to alarming proportions on 21st of June 2013, where PSI hit 401 at noon. This broke the previous records of 321, 371 and even 400.

From my apartment on the second floor. It would be beautiful if it didn't smell like burning sky.

This was taken in ... actually I can't remember! You almost can't tell where you are and haze was an ugly yellow green instead of a pretty white.

Few cars were on the road on 21st of June 2013, probably the best example of a green movement ever!

Quite an adventure that happens every year, though not usually as bad as what we saw.

What some of the world media are reporting!

For those of us in Singapore, we had a new topic that engaged everyone from all walks of life - from where you can find n95 masks to which part of Singapore has rain! On the bright side, I got to see so many of my friends that were only in touch on facebook and not physically for more than 15 years.

And we had hail. Hail Hail Hail! You heard that right...quite impossible, but it did happen! And it happened today. Facebook became a online news portal with people posting photos of the hail in Singapore, the first since 27th March 2008.

Now I know why people in London's favourite topic is the weather, it is fast becoming a buzzword here in Singapore too, with funny songs created and sung!

Quite a week full of adventures and excitement brought about by the haze, and life goes on with Swandon still missing! Where in the world is Swandon? Well, he's definitely not in Singapore.

    I care alot about air quality, because since I was a child, I've had difficulty breathing especially in the mornings. I would wake with Sinus and after I got my ioniser, things changed. I stopped having Sinus in the mornings! I've since added a PSI indicator to my blog after the national concern, HAZE that peaked on the 21st June 2013. I now realise how good the air quality in Singapore is, after the horrific comparison when haze from Indonesia descended upon us in Singapore.
