Haze in Malaysia

Do you know that haze has hit Malaysia again? Every year around July, the forest burning in Indonesia brings haze to our country. I remember last year when I woke up expecting to smell the fresh air of an early morning, instead I smelt something burning. I look out of the window and everything was covered in smoke. I had to wear masks whenever I want to step out of the door, outdoor activities are not allowed in schools, some has health problems and those weak ones got weaker.

Last couple of weeks, Malaysians faced those problems again. Unfortunately, some people just don't know about it. I asked a friend of mine last week 'How are you coping with the haze?' and she answers me 'Haze? What haze?', I nearly fainted. This is a perfect example of those who sit in a car and drove to an underground carpark, sit in the office all day, then drove back to their house, not minding what's happening to the world out there, or in their hometown for that matter. Sigh...
Let us be more aware of our surroundings, be more acute of our living place, care for our homes as comfort is what a home is all about.

note: there's a few red dots that i think it means hotspots, notice there's quite a few at the peninsula too.

Sudoku

Have you ever played a game called sudoku? It's a puzzle with 9 rows and 9 columns that are divided into 3x3 boxes where you have to fill them with numbers of 1-9 for each box, each column and each row, no repetition. When I first started to play this game, I was amazed by how anyone could think of such game by placing numbers in strategic positions, hinting what other numbers could be place in that box. It's a game of logical thinking, brain teasers others may call it, to exercise your brain, to train us to spot the hints and solve problems....brilliant. Try the one below, I got it from a software with 500 pieces of it with 5 different levels(this is in the hardest level). If you want to get this software, it's free from http://www.sudoku-puzzles.net/
