60% Chance of Haze--Till February

I was talking to a Singaporean friend today and she said the haze might persist until--February?! That seems impossible. Even if we're saying it's going to hang around until the proper monsoon starts, surely that would be January at the latest. Zoë hasn't been able to play outside for recess in days. We made the weary round of doctor's today to get more asthma medicine and romilar for everyone. Kee-rap, is what I say to this. It's actually a bit better today, the index or whatever is down to 60 (it was 150 the other day.) I don't want to have to go for the SARS-effect surgical masks. This is Singapore, man, not Mexico City! It seems a bit unfair, since Singapore itself has great emission controls and almost no cars on the road more than 10 years old, but even Harvard-educated technocratic mandarins can't control the weather. I let Violet play at the playground for 40 minutes, though. Feast yo eyes on the cuteness: (pix under the fold.)

This is a very characteristic MeiMei expression. She's up to something!

Zoë elected to stay inside and watch Little Einsteins. "It's oogy outside." Sadly, yes.

We love the pictures and Mei Mei's expression.

I thought they were going to put sprinklers on the tops of tall buildings to clear the haze. Did the plan not work?
