it's just a number...i won't get hung up over it; i know if i'm sick, no matter what the number is.
have been nursing a splitting headache since yesterday afternoon - the past week's shenanigans i reckon
I also have nothing nice to say to profiteers who hoard large stocks of N95 masks and sell them at hyperinflated prices to desperate people.
Making hay while the sun shines is one thing, but profiting off the misery of others - that's too much.
Anyway, I don't know whether this is real, but if it is, the schadenfreude I feel is awesome:
What am I going to do with the 20 PALLETS of N95 that I just ordered?!?!?!
i think it's a joke.. but if real it's hilarious!
time to go to work
Apart from the common flu and the sore throat, there was nthing serious...
I do have some serious dizziness on sunday but it's due to lack of rest >___>
this year is probably the first time i feel sick-ish from haze
I read that a csb from hwz forum got reported in the papers as a real story.

6chan and her collicks not doing their jobs well ehh...?
I'm resisting the urge to do internet shopping -___-
funniest self-pwn today
I'm not siding either side, but notice the strategic location of that stupid big white caption box?
NEA's reply made sense to an extent actually
MEWR clarifies:
PM10 refers to particulate matter smaller than 10 microns while PM2.5 refers to particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns. Hence PM10 would also capture what is captured in the PM2.5 readings. A rise in PM2.5 levels would reflect a change in PSI. (More info on PSI levels)
Both 24-hr PM2.5 readings and 24-hr PSI readings are published separately in the NEA website hourly. The PM2.5 is a concentration reading which is expressed in micrograms per m3 and not a composite reading like the PSI.
NEA's air quality health advisories take into account both the 24-hour PSI and the 24-hour PM2.5. That's why though PSI levels on some days may be "Moderate", the health advisories are more cautious as they expect 24-hr PM2.5 levels to be higher, posing some risk to the susceptible groups.
The exact TRE quote here:
Difference between PM10 and PM2.5
Fine particles i.e. PM2.5 are lighter and stay in the air longer and travel further than PM10. PM10 can stay in the air for minutes or hours while PM2.5 can stay in the air for days or weeks. PM10 can travel as little as 1 km or as much as 50 km. PM2.5 can travel much further – many hundreds of kilometres. Here is the important question. Which is more dangerous: PM2.5 or PM10? When you inhale, you breathe in air along with any particles that are in the air. The air and the particles travel into your respiratory system i.e. your lungs and airway. Along the way, the particles can stick to the sides of your airway or travel deeper into your lungs. The further the particles go, the worse the effect. Bigger particles are more likely to stick to the sides or get wedged into one of the narrow passages deep in the lung. Smaller particles can pass through the smaller airways. Because PM2.5 travels deeper into the lungs and is made up of substances that are more toxic e.g. heavy metals and cancer causing organic compounds, it is far more dangerous than PM10. PM2.5 particles are so fine they can even enter the bloodstream. So, because PM2.5 can penetrate deep into the lungs and is more toxic, measuring it is considered a more accurate reflection of air quality than simply measuring PM10.
The PSI readings that are updated every hour, on the hour, on NEA’s website do not take into account PM2.5 but are based solely on PM10. The hourly PSI readings that appear in the media, such as the screaming headline in Thursday’s (20 Jun) edition of The Straits Times: “RECORD PSI AT 10 PM 321 Plans in place if haze worsens” are, make no mistake, PM10 readings.
Of course I can now see why TRE kena rebutted by NEA.
This is no self-pwn at all!
Its probably not funny at all for those working at NEA who have to deal with rubbish like TRE.
look at the NEA website.. that is exactly what they said.. the PSI is based on PM10 readings ONLY
Yeah.....dunno why they had to write that.
But they did clarify.....which was not accepted in good faith, and this reflects very much the uncooperative nature of some members of public.
Worse was the strategic nature of that big white box.
If it was intentional as I suspect it was, then I think these people are nothing less than A$$-holes.

not in good faith because we are 149th...
no one believes any of anything anymore.. that is the price we pay for being less than honest with and in the media

Concurred.
But if we were to move forward, dilbert aside, 2 lefts don't make a right.
So who should start being more "matured" first?
Politics is dirty, and I refuse to get involved in any such discussion because I think both sides are rubbish.

should be: two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts make a right
in the other news, hail over the west of sg
i like this gif... it's a 90 year old woman doing a double backflip
Read the right stuff.
Even if it is wrong.
I still find it hard to accept that it's been........ THAT long.
