Dirty Air

»

Absolutely bad air this morning. Last year, due to the demolishing of the old shop houses followed by excavating and piling work just right beside our estate, we were fed with a constant supply of dust. So much so that I have to keep most of the windows closed and sent the baby away to my father’s place. The situation at the construction site has improved, and now comes the haze again.

We are living just around the catchment area, suppose to be enjoying vast grenery and very fresh air. It used to be those misty cloudy fog canopying the trees at Bt Timah Hill or Mindef, but mist doesn’t linger around when the sun gets hotter. Its the terrible haze, I can smell the burnt in the air. I can’t even see the BBC relay tower which appears to be so clear everyday. Didn’t dare to bring the kid outdoor because of the haze.

The air is clearer now, hopefully we would get more rain to cleanse our dirty island.
