*cough*
i was going to blog about the convocation i attended last week but there were so many emotions running through my mind at that time that i couldn't find the right words to write about it. i'm wrote a few paragraphs but i'm not really satisfied as it doesn't really paint a true picture of what i wanted to convey. yeah, i suck at getting my point across. those who are close to me should know that i don't have the talent of telling stories. i even had troubles summarizing plot details of a book.
i guess i'll have to put that off first and write something which is bothering me, THE HAZE.
those who saw my yahoo messenger status last night should know how frustrated i am at the haze. not particularly the haze, but the people who caused the haze. yesterday, it was really, really bad here in my office. the smell of ash was so strong, even in my air conditioned office! i could hardly breathe and the lack of oxygen gave me a headache. if you are wondering whether i'm exaggerating, i can tell you right in the face : NO! not exactly in your face lah but you are staring at the monitor while reading this right? oh shit, that was so lame. back to the topic, yes, i had a terrible headache and i'm gasping for air.
someone actually asked me 'that bad?' and i have no better answer than to tell her that she must be here to know how serious it is. compared to the 1997 haze (that was 8 years ago, and i didn't have a good memory, just read it from a news article and found out it happened during the el nino phenomenon), i guess this is worse. i don't remember having any difficulties at all during that time.
i'm really upset and angry because this seems to happen EVERY YEAR, without fail. the only difference is the severity of the haze. why isn't the indonesian government doing anything effective to curb massive burning? oh sure, they told us about the death penalty if found guilty of open burning but, hello? it still happens!
