Haze-o-meter

Recently, there was a fuss about the return of the annual HAZE in KL and some parts of peninsula Malaysia. This time of the year, everyone is expecting it as its the yearly practice of the traditional farmers in Indonesia to burn up barren lands for farming purposes. Its actually a good way to cultivate the land as the burnt up ashes and all will act as fertilizers for the plants but of course the bad thing is the fire and smoke ... lots of smoke. As a result ... HAZE ...

anywaz... the haze issue has become such a norm recently that we have come to be prepared for it. Recently the DOE have been monitoring the air quality and also the so called "hot spots" in the country as well as Indonesia. Well, thats the scientific part of the measurement.

For ordinary people like us... we have the haze-o-meter. Actually its our nose, and maybe for some people, it would be their eyes. Usually as the air quality depreciates as the result of haze, some people will start to get nose irritation, sneezing and the accumulation of extra BOOGEY (stuffs in your nose)... haha...
Visibility will drop, and some may even have watery eyes as the result of the irritation.

In more serious cases like mine, you will have something called cynusitis (dunno how u spell it) ... its a more severe nose irritation.. well not actually the nose but its related i guess ... you see ... your nose is actually connected to a chamber above your eyebrow... the function i dunno .. just that its there and its connected ... people have cynus problems is because of the fluid from your nose moving to the chamber or something like that ... causing discomfort and all

During the haze .. air quality is bad, so the problem arises when there is an infection in the chamber because the dirt and floating around in the air. Thus causing the a really shitty headache .. specifically above the eyebrow ... and its really a shitty pain ... the pain can so bad that i had to take pain killers ... haha...

anywaz ... thats my version the the haze-o-meter ... as compared to the DOE's high tech gadgets ... haha
