Cheer Up! Fun Things You Can Do About the Haze…

Yesterday 9 out of 10 pings on PPS was about the HAZE (i have to admit, including mine…). Today the gloom seem to have lifted abit, both in cyberspace and metrologically speaking. it could get worse again this evening, i’m pretty used to it by now.

Instead of trying to rant about it, i thought of giving some suggestions to do someting positive about the haze…

Top Ten Fun and Positive Things You Can Do About the Haze…

Use hundreds of old jam jars and bottle up the dirty air. Later, sell them online on eBay as ‘authentic Malaysian Pollution & Haze, year 2005(vintage)’.
Join one of those KLCC tour groups. Everytime the tour guide mentions the ‘fantastic view of the Twin Towers’, you answer ‘WHAT view?!’ or ‘Twin Towers?! Where?’
Get all the portable fans from your friends and colleagues, fixed them up on your roof, and switch them on facing Indonesia (or your neighbour’s house, whichever is nearer).
Fill your waterproof raincoat with ice-cubes while standing outside, and pretend your in Genting Highlands after a thunderstorm…
Take an MC. (‘Doctor, the haze is ruining my appetite for fags…’)
Busk with a guitar on the street corner, singing oldies like ‘Purple Haze’, ‘Hazy Shade of Winter’, ‘Smoke Gets in Your Eyes’, ‘Smoke On The Water’, etc.
Drive at 154km/h on the highway, claim to the cops that you can’t see the speedometer… (like Wingz).
Start a letter writing campaign to the gomen to ban restaurants serving sizzling steak, the REAL reason for the haze.
Spam the website for Department of Environment of our friendly neignhbour.
Go to Penang/Cherating for the weekend…

“Spam the website for Department of Environment of our friendly neignhbour.”

Uhh, I don’t think they actually have a website. Even if they do, it hasn’t been updated from the day it was launched.

The haze sucks. Here in Riau it’s pretty bad already, but the people are too busy arguing about local elections than to get rid of the haze. Idiots.

Take the last advice. Penang API readings – FOURTY FIVE! Weather breezy, bright sunshine, blue skies and the birds seem to chirp louder than usual! Serious.
