I used to hate the haze but now I detest it!! It is so disruptive to my training program that I didn't ran outdoors since 5 Sept when I participated in a 10KM run. In fact, a lot of running events had been either cancelled or 'modified' to a shorter route or walkathon. I have signed up for the Standard Chartered Half Marathon due in early December and though it seems a long time, but its actually 2 months and a half to go or 10 weeks. I thought I did quite badly in the Sundown HM in July, though I am not a seasoned runner but I hope to improve on my next HM. I gotta resort to running in the treadmills for the past 2 weeks and the most I can run there was 5KM as there were folks waiting for the machine.

Well, hope for clearer skies in days to come and the good news is that both Malaysia and Singapore weather forecast predicted there will be a changed in the wind direction this week, as well as there will be rains here. Looking forward to it while I was wearing a N95 mask after work today as I cannot stand the burning smell when the haze hit psi 200+.

I thought it's a good idea to have something soupy for dinner and I simply ordered a fish maw with crab meat soup , and a small rice nearby my home. It's delicious, tasted like shark fins without the fins. :)



Drinks lots of water and let's pray the dreadful haze will end soon! Have a good week!

Last week was really a terrible week to be in Singapore. The haze climbed to an all time high of 401 PSI on a Friday afternoon and while driving out to lunch , I can see the entire town like shrouded with smoke with a bad visibility on the road. All of us seems like making it compulsory to wear a mask while going out, even just to get a coffee downstairs at the building's canteen. The days leading up to last Friday was kinda disturbing too! I remember before I went in for a game of badminton on a Wednesday evening, the psi was below 200. After two hours, it became 290! Luckily my company supplied us with N95 mask which makes our life better. I have been smelling burning woods the entire week while going to bed!

It's like an highland out there!

Yours truly, not terrorist!
Due to the smog, most of the time I had my lunch indoors. On one particular Thursday evening, the indoor food court was so crowded that I have no choice but to give myself an excuse to have a nice bowl of ramen at a Japanese restaurant. Really no choice but to eat expensive ... :P

yummy.... delicious Miso ramen to pacify the traumatic me due to the haze :P
Talking about the inconvenience of eating outside, I have some information to share.  One of my friends recommended me to log in to Foodpanda website, he told me that this online food delivery service suits me pretty well.  After a hard day's work, all I need to do is some clicks on their website here and choose the mouth-watering food from a wide range of restaurants.  After that, I can just sit back and relax... and the food will arrive steaming hot in no time! 

 Great information, right?
