Haze Invasion

Malaysia and Singapore have been attacked by haze from Sumatra recently and the condition does not seem to be easing. Singapore once hit an API of 400+ but now has dropped to below 100, a great news for them since they survive mainly on tourism and tourism is severely threatened if the country is literally enveloped under haze.

Malaysia is then being attacked. Muar recorded a terrifying API of 746 this morning, suggesting the air in the district left much to be desired.

Wind blows, so I guess Penang will soon be affected. I can already smell the haze, and the latest API reading in Perai registers a worrying 75. Though it only increases slightly, it still worries lots of people as everybody knows wind blows north and the weather is going to be sultry for the next few months.

Let's brace for the worst. Haze is back.

By the way, Indonesia should take actions to those who adopt slash and burn techniques. It is very inconsiderate for the farmers to resort to cheap and fast method of clearing forest at the expense of the environment and the people's health.

Dreams

Do you remember your dreams? Most people say they don't. Me too, but some dreams are so vivid I could remember all of it. And the weird thing is, I have no idea why they are so vivid, because they have no significance in my lives.

Okay, a few dreams I made

- got a D+ for my PA. LOLLL

- Starwalk at night. Saw a few teachers eating at hawker centres. Got chased and bitten by a dog while walking.

- a close friend smoking.

- in a park where I couldn't identify.

- trapped in a house, being robbed and tied up.

umm....I'll try to remember more. haha

Father

Although you are an antisocial, so antisocial you restrict people from doing lots of activities and forbid people from doing anything you dislike, so antisocial you expect everyone in your family to be antisocial as well, you are still my father. I don't like you being an antisocial guy and prohibit me from participating in so many events, but you're still my father and I have your blood.

Happy Father's Day.

Beginning of Third Term

Second term has ended and now I'm in the third and the final term before I officially finish my STPM.

Third term does not look well. Two science projects are to be completed. What we study look boring too, except PA, which is about Malaysian relation with foreign countries or Malaysian participation in and contributions to international events.

Maths is about statistics for this semester, and I detest statistics a lot.

Chemistry is about organic chemistry. The book is the thickest for this three semesters. So....it looks foreboding.

Physics's the worst. We study waves, optics and modern physics. All are equally boring and extremely tough.

Well, we shall see.

Natcomp 2013 - Sultanah Asma, Preliminary Round



I have always liked Sultanah Asma Marching Band owing to its uniquely powerful marching band, incredibly neat formation, captivating songs, and a marching show that delivers story.

Their Mulan show back in 2011 was mind blowing, and won them the first place of World Championship Marching Show Band 2011 (2011 World Champion), and subsequently they were awarded the Sudler Shield award, becoming the first Malaysian band to have been given the honour.

This year they are back on the field, with a brand new theme "Africa". I have to admit this year's performance might be a little disappointing if you're hoping for something more powerful, but it is still a great show and I still love it. And the coach might have run out on ideas for something new because I could see some old movements.

Nevertheless, still a great show. They won a gold award.

Definitely looking forward for their final performance in the Grand Final.
