PSI 323

Some time ago, I posted photos of the views from my apartment windows.  Here's what I'm seeing this morning.



It's a sad state of affairs. Frankly, I'm all choked up.

EPIC SMOG

For those of us who live to tell the tale, the last few days have been rather dramatic for Singapore.  Fast-food deliveries have been cancelled, the army has suspended field training, and face masks, air purifiers and eye drops are flying off the shelves. The smog, caused by the illegal burning of forests on Indonesia’s Sumatra island, is a persistent problem for us every year.

This year's smoke haze, however, might well be chronicalized.  Yesterday at 1PM, our pollution standards index (PSI) soared to a smothering 371. We all held our breaths and wonder if the number will rise further.  Today at 12PM the reading breached 400. If the air quality value is considered hazardous at 300, then what of 401?

It is time to shop for important things.






不求圆满

人生一定不要太追求圆满  人旺财不旺 财旺人不旺  人财两旺寿不长  所以人生最好的状态就是求缺不求全  而且求全一定要加上委屈这两个字  因为委屈才能求全  所以福不可享尽 留三分给子孙  利不可占尽 舍三分给别人  功不可贪尽 让三分给他人  这也就是所谓的自古人生最忌满  ...
