Together we summon

The haze situation had been really bad in Singapore the past few days.

And since Grandpa was undergoing chemotherapy, I was out whenever the PSI was sky-high, to ferry him for his medical check-ups etc. It really wasn't good for my body to be exposed to the haze. Within the 1st day of PSI reaching >200, I was already experiencing chest pains and breathlessness when walking short distance of ~200m. The throat was unusually dry and so was the skin. Everyone hid at home whenever possible.


When the haze finally cleared up a little this afternoon, the boys decided an "intervention".


It is a belief that the rain comes whenever the car enthusiasts washes their pride. With the haze not leaving and the rain not coming, the boys decided that it was time for a mass car wash so that they could "summon" the Rain God together.


We gathered at ESSO Geylang where the wash is the most thorough. There were about 8 cars, belonging to us and friends of friends.




I love meet-ups like these where like-minded friends gather for some fun. Best thing is that we all come from different walks of life, yet we are drawn together with a common love: CARS.
