She got a reply from one of them : Maybe, tomolo also no update.
She replied : Tried to call DOE, but no one pick up the phone.
He replied : This is Malaysia la, kawan...!

23 Oct 2006 : Shopping spree
PL could not stay at home for whole day.
After lunch, she went to get some toiletries and bb's items.
All together, she has watched 3 DVD together. Last Saturday, we got a good deal by getting 2 copies 8-in-1 DVD and 2 copies of single DVD.
CC was working. But hurray...he will be off too tomorrow. We could go to get our simple minicompo. PL could not find hers in PG because Yeow took PL's minicompo to KL.

21 Oct 2006 : Fire crackers & delicious food
Nowadays, there is no difference if it is Deepavali, Raya or CNY.
Starting last evening, we could have mistaken CNY is around the corner with the "bang" of fire crackers.
Fire crackers and fireworks display has become Malaysian culture for any celebration.
This afternoon, we went to the buka puasa stall to see what we can get for our stomach.
We ended up with 3 piece of kuih, roti
john and grilled chicken wing.

18 Oct 2006 : 3 years back...
3 years ago, on the same day, we were in Pg, tie knot officially.
We did not specially celebrate. PL was kind of tired.
CC accompanied PL to her departmental dinner at Tanjong Puteri. The Ramadan buffet food was neither delicious nor worth the money. We just filled up our empty stomach with whatever we could find as we were late. Most of the food was not refilled. It was 1 hour past the buka puasa. And some of the colleagues left before we arrived too.

13 Oct 2006 : Raining...Hurray....
This evening, on the way back from plant, PL thought the haze was back.
It was the trucks that exhausted out those black smokes. Wondering why there were no enforcement on vehicle exhaust to reduce air pollution.
At 8.30pm, the rains started to pour. Heavy with strong wind.

08 Oct 2006 : Haze is on the move
This morning, the sky was not so hazy.
At noon, the haze was gone in most of the places.
Haze on the move, won't stay for long
06 Oct 2006 Leslie Andres and Sheridan Mahavera
KUALA LUMPUR: The haze has spread to many parts of the nation, but officials are sticking by their guns that it will last only for a short period.
The Air Pollutant Index readings showed air quality in many areas had deteriorated yesterday, with more areas recording unhealthy levels than the previous day.
A Meteorological Services Department spokesman said initial estimates that the haze would only be around for a short period were accurate.
烟霾笼罩 2006/10/08 17:30:12
科学、工艺与革新部副部长拿督江作汉针对烟霾问题说，大马半岛预料会从10月8日晚起改吹西北风，风势不再把苏门答腊的烧芭灰烬和微粒吹来大马方向和制造烟霾，北马的烟霾状况在短期内将很快改善。
未来两、三天内，烟霾仍将继续笼罩中马和南马，但是情况会有所改善，能见度大约5公里左右。烟霾重锁中马区和南马，这些地区的烟霾现象是否能改善，都需视风向而定，这可能需要两、三天的时间。
大体上，昨天大马半岛西北和中马区的烟霾现象已经改善。尽管南马（如上所述柔佛）和东海岸（彭亨）仍然逃不了被烟霾笼罩的命运，今天早上南马和中马区的风向不定，低风由东南风改吹为西南风，以致南吡叻、雪兰莪、森美兰和马六甲等4州烟霾卷土重来。

07 Oct 2006 : Hazy hazy day
We started to feel uncomfort in throat. Tried to get into DOE website but it was down since 7.30pm ! The wish is rain & change of wind direction.
Hazy, hazier... hazardousKL,
Putrajaya and Sri Aman badly hit
07 Oct 2006Annie Freeda Cruez and R.S. Kamini
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians are fed up. Fed up with the acrid haze that has been choking many cities and towns around the country. And with the same litany of excuses offered by Indonesia and the authorities here for this unwelcome visitor every year.And here is another piece of bad news: The haze got worse yesterday with 14 areas, including Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, having unhealthy air quality and Sri Aman in the very unhealthy range.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians are fed up. Fed up with the acrid haze that has been choking many cities and towns around the country. And with the same litany of excuses offered by Indonesia and the authorities here for this unwelcome visitor every year.And here is another piece of bad news: The haze got worse yesterday with 14 areas, including Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, having unhealthy air quality and Sri Aman in the very unhealthy range.
The Meteorological Services Department said that the haze situation is likely to continue till tomorrow.
"The winds are expected to change, blowing from the northwest direction on Sunday night. The haze conditions over Peninsular Malaysia are expected to improve after Sunday," it said in a statement.
Kuala Lumpur reached 101 on the Air Pollutant Index, which considers a score of 101-200 to be unhealthy. The reading was 100 in Putrajaya. The reading in Kuala Selangor reached 160.
But this was nothing close to the levels reached in Sri Aman in Sarawak where the API reached the "very unhealthy" range of 221.
National Council of Women’s Organisations deputy president Ramani Gurusamy was annoyed and disappointed that nothing was being done to overcome the haze problem.
"My grandchildren, my friends’ children, even adults I know are ill and that upsets me a lot.
"I’m disappointed that every year, Malaysia and Indonesia play the blame game while no one makes an effort to end this problem," she said.
Jaya Abdullah, 58, said: "I was driving from Lumut to Klang and the haze was really bad. Just imagine the plight of people working in plantations and other outdoor jobs. It is terrible."
Women, Family and Community Development Ministry parliamentary secretary Datuk Chew Mei Fun cancelled a hike up Mount Kinabalu due to the haze.
"I don’t understand why the problem keeps popping up. We really have to find a way to solve this," she added.
Cloud-seeding operations were launched over Peninsular Malaysia in an attempt to clear the skies of smoke from forest fires in Indonesia.
Meanwhile, Deputy Education Minister Datuk Hon Choon Kim said all State Education Departments had been directed to stop outdoor activities if the API reaches between 201 and 300. Schools will be closed if the index reaches the 400 level.
