hazy days
the haze has cleared up, and so has my cough. yay...i dont know how long this clear air will last, and the only reason the skies are clear here is because the haze moved to penang. so should we anticipate another visit from the haze anytime soon? and why do we have to put up with this problem year after year? why isnt anything done to actually get rid of the problem? problems are meant to be solved. why isnt this haze issue solved yet? i dont believe in the wishy-washy solutions offered (stay indoors, wear a mask)...what the??why cant they address the problem at its root and stop open burning in indonesia? i know they arent 100% responsible for the haze, but they are the main cause of it. NO, i'm not being discriminatory. fact of the matter is that this haze is not going to go away unless SOMEONE does SOMETHING about it. it costed malaysia so much back in 1997. thankfully, i wasnt in the country then. someone on this other website said maybe the government is treating this problem like the durian season..its inevitable and anticipated. that sucks. and it certainly isnt the right attitude to tackle this problem head on. when some indonesian official was asked why they arent doing anything to curb open burning, he just gave some answer along the lines of "we cant. they've been doing in for so long"...WHAT?! they're not even TRYING!!
on a more personal note, i've recently patched some things up with a friend, whom i've sorta fell out of contact with..reason? i was stifled. it wasnt the 1st time...in fact, it was actually the 2nd time. why? i was stifled. i dont know if i'm being mean by playing her like a yo-yo...(now we're friends, now we're not, now we're friends again) but she just doesnt know when and how to give me space. she just attracts attention eveywhere she goes. i dont like all that attention. and she's LOUD. i dont really know if thats a good thing or not. maybe this is just petty nonsense, but it really eats at you when you dont get that much personal space and when she makes your other friends uncomfortable...so in the end, i have to choose who i want to hang out with..her or my friends...tough call, isnt it?
