I am not a fan of Final 1 but I came across this program when I switched on the TV to watch channel 5 news last night.
The haze PSI as at 10 am is 149 which is in the mid unhealthy range. I wonder how long more we could go on with our normal daily lives. The haze is hardzous and menacing and we hope Indonesia could do something about it. Every year during the dry season it is the same story since 1997. People are getting sicker and the economy is suffering.
I am a jack of all trade so to speak but master of none. When I retired from the airlines, I went into the house moving industry. Bought myself a van and created a few blogs. In no time my partner and I was having so much business that we couldn't cope. Due to the size of the van, we could only do "room" moving. We moved items from a room to another room. We don't have space for big items.The fees was cheap,charging $40 to $60 for a trip. Our clients were mostly students from overseas,foreign workers and others.
I remember one Sunday we were able to complete 5 assignments. At the end of the day, we almost collapsed. Both of us weren't young. We were both 63 years old and you can imagine how tough it was for us to carry heavy and sometimes bulky items and moved them from one place to another.
A lady client of ours was shocked to see us appearing at her place to help her move. " Oh my god, I expect to see 2 young men but instead 2 old men. Can you both do the job?" she asked. Of course after the job was done she was so pleased that she gave us a small tip.
We took the moving job as a challenge and not so much for the money. After 2 years in the business, we closed shop.
My partner ventured into the real estate business and I started my pet business. Recently due to the poor housing market my partner closed shop. I am still at my pet business, importing and exporting pets like dogs,cats,rabbits etc for people. We call it pet relocation business.
We do not seem to be tired of eating sushi. Tonight's dinner was sushi again. We did not snap any photos and so used the ones we took yesterday or day before. However, from the 3 receipts (over 3 times we were at Sushi Express)you may think we are sushi junkies. In fact, we are and had eaten few times before we took photos of the receipts. I've developed some rashes and skin itchiness on my legs and body. I think it may be due to the oily and deep fried food like fries,buggers, char kway teows, laksa, curries etc that I've consumed over the years. So it's pay-back time and I am trying to quit eating those unhealthy food and concentrate on food like sushi and sashimi which aren't oily.
