Haze in KL – HEALTH FREAK MOMMY

Day 2 Haze Holiday (19 Sept 2019)

Posted on September 20, 2019October 7, 2019 by Shireen

The haze is still chokingly bad today. It looks and smells worse than the day before. Our windows and sliding door are shut all day and it’s terribly hot and stuffy inside, though all three fans are turned on in the living room. The girls pretty much stayed home all day but I made 5…

Crazy Hazy Hot Days Are Back!

Posted on August 17, 2016June 7, 2017 by Shireen

The inevitable time of the year is here again, totally unwelcomed. For the past two days, the familiar acrid smell of haze can be smelled first thing in the morning at 4:45 a.m. when I stepped out of my bedroom. Thankfully my girls and I have always been pretty OK during the haze period with…

Unbearable El Nino Heatwave In KL

Posted on April 20, 2016June 8, 2017 by Shireen

The El Nino heatwave in KL is not improving any bit. It’s getting hotter, drier and hazier by the day. The acrid smell of haze is more pronounced today. The temperature for the past few days have been on the high side, so bad that I do not feel like leaving my seat right…

I knew it. As expected, today has been a sizzling hot and hazy day! So hot that I had already taken 3 showers as at 3pm today — first shower was after 26 laps in the pool at 630 a.m. (which made me feel SO GOOD!), second shower was after having breakfast with the hubby…

Haze Holiday (Thursday, 22 October 2015)

Posted on October 22, 2015October 22, 2015 by Shireen

The hubby said no eating al fresco at our favorite coffee shops, so today is another day that we had to eat our brunch indoors at an air-conditioned eatery – which means more expensive meals. Hey, I think I should join the businessman in Sg Petani and lodge a report on the Ind*n Government for…

Haze Holiday (Tuesday, 20 October 2015)

Posted on October 20, 2015October 20, 2015 by Shireen

The girls were bored to the core being homebound as schools were out for another day today. Cass’ swimming lessons have to be cancelled again today. The haze situation now as I am typing this post at 5pm is very bad. Not only are the skies shrouded by smoke but the skyline is yellow in…

Another Crazy Hazy Not So Lazy Saturday – 3 October 2015

Breakfast at a nearby coffee shop… Yep, this cili padi not-so-babyish anymore Baby C can eat fiery curries and loves them! Today we shared a bowl of white curry vermicelli. Check out this picture of the horrendous haze today, taken from the 5th floor of our condo at 11am… Today is one of the worst…

Our Very Hazy Saturday – 26 Sept 2015

Posted on September 27, 2015June 20, 2017 by Shireen

The haze is back and it’s back at full choking force! This morning I woke up at 7am to the smell of smoke in the bedroom. By 11am, it got worse. My nose has been itchy the whole morning and felt ‘dirty’ inside the nostrils. The dust monitor on our Sharp air purifier has been…

Our Hazy Sunday – 23 June 2013

Posted on June 24, 2013June 24, 2013 by Shireen

We woke up to a house filled with the choking smell of smoke yesterday. I looked out of the window and could not see the KL Tower and KLCC. To escape the terrible smell in our house, we sought ‘refuge’ at Mid Valley Megamall / Gardens Mall and spent a good 6 hours at the…
