SINGAPORE: Singapore has recorded the highest number of vegetation fires in decades.
In the first two weeks of this month, 106 fires have been recorded. This follows the record 182 in January, well above the average of 26 cases for the month over the past decade.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) has described this as unprecedented and said it is installing dry hydrant systems to provide water supply in areas with dry vegetation.
The National Environment Agency (NEA) said Singapore’s 24—hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) also crept up to the moderate range over the weekend, rising from "good" the week before.
Last week, NEA blamed light winds that resulted in an accumulation of dust particles in the air for the shroud of haze over parts of Singapore.
No wonder its so hazy today...

I'm kind of lazy to blog but I'm still here. *shrug* Don't ask me why.
"whyyyyyy?" someone whispered. Okay I'm telling since someone asked.
On one hand, I'm lazy to blog but on the other hand, I'm even lazier to study. This is what economists do. They gave you two sided views on every issue and analyse to let people understand and so as to weigh the opportunity cost for the possible decisions made. Ha. You must be thinking what is opportunity cost. Time for me to show-off hehee.
Opportunity cost is the next best opportunity forgone. Hmmm. I can almost see Meiqi reciting it while carrying weights like....

Topic of the day: I sat in auditorial for 3 hours stright and my butt + brain turned jelly.
Anyway, my camp is coming this Wednesday and I'm rather excited. Yay. No school for 2 days. Yay. Yay. Yay. But I heard that one of their games is to rub your hair until your scalps crumble into pieces, pieces of dandruff so as to produce large quantity of shampoo bubbles. Kinda gross huh? Me agree.
