My expenses are going up up up, no thanks to the haze. The air-conditioning, the travel fare (I'm now taking the bus for distances that I usually cover by foot), the buying of health drinks, blah blah blah...
My mum was telling me about this spa alternative: the oxygen room. Basically, you pay $30, and then go into this room and breathe pure oxygen for one hour. Pretty cool right? I suppose business for them is now great because of the haze. If I got lots of money to burn, no pun intended, I'll move in 24/7. Goodness, that will be $720 a day, and if the haze stays for another month or so (touchwood), that will be a grand total of... $21,600.
Damn, that's a lot of money. So I guess the air-con is the next best thing. Maybe I'll get an air-purifier. There was one in the house, bought during the last haze, bought for $70. After the skies were clear again, my mum sold the thing to Cash Converters for a measly 12 bucks, since we all assumed that the haze wouldn't come again.
Man, what dramatic irony. Stupid haze!
