So it begins with a Chilli Crab festival at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza, an apt choice considering the popularity of the dish in Singapore’s food culture. Unfortunately, I was there only on the last day and was in a hurry – I really regretted not stopping to try some of the local dish, a popular delicacy for both local Singaporeans and tourists alike. I might actually go get meself some during the weekend ;)

Woke up on Friday morning and this was the sight that greeted me at 7am. By 4pm, the NEA PSI reading for PM10 which is the main contributor to the haze has improved to 43.

Yes, before it was smog but now, but thanks to the southwest monsoon, we are in the beginnings of haze season. Hope it doesn’t worsen.
