The haze situation is getting worse. It was caused by forest burning in Sumantera, Indonesia.
API (Air Pollution Index) in many cities are reaching or above danger level.
My wife and I left for Mantin early in the morning to attend the Feast Day celebration of St. Aloysius Church.
The air smelled acidic and visibility was poor (hazy).
The Feast Day Mass was celebrated by Fr. Augustine Li from Subang Jaya, con-celebrated by Fr. Raymond Augustine, the administrator of the church and Parish Priest of St. Theresa Church, Nilai.
The 8:00 am Mass was the highlight of the Feast day Triduum. It was attended by about 400 people consisting of local and outstation faithful, including foreign students from nearby colleges.
The liturgical celebrations was concluded with a procession of the Blessed Sacrament round the church compound, followed with a fellowship breakfast.
After the Feast Day celebration, we met up with Jenny, whom we knew for sometimes but meeting in person for the first time.
We were welcomed by her husband Marin and children to their home near the church.
We have to rush back home to welcome our old friends to our house at noon.
Teh brothers, our friends for more than 40 years, brought Bak Chang, roast pork and duck to have lunch together. We spent the rest of the afternoon chatting and drinking ...coffee.
In the evening, we attended the wedding dinner of one of our Taichi members' daughter at a restaurant in Kajang.
It was a long feasting day for us。

阴霾的情况日益严重。这是印尼苏门答腊岛烧芭所造成的。
马来西亚半岛南部许多市镇的空气污染指数，已经达到甚至超越了危险的水平。
我和太太今天一早就启程前往文丁，参加该地圣类思教堂的主保日庆典。
主保日感恩弥撒在早上八时开始，是由来自梳邦亚也的李义兴神父主祭，本堂管理彭睿明神父共祭。
大约400名教友参加了这项为期三天的庆典。除了本堂教友，也有外地教友及附近大专学院的外国学生出席了这个盛会。
弥撒过后，圣体绕教堂游行一周，美满的结束了主保日庆典。过后，大家共享有本堂教友准备的丰富早餐。
庆典结束后，我们会见了早已认识，但尚未见过面的该地教友Jenny。 她及丈夫Martin 热情的邀请我们到他们的家坐坐。他们还送给我们黄梨及大菠萝蜜。。。收获不少！
我们匆忙的赶回家，因为老朋友将在中午时间到访。
郑氏兄弟两人是我们认识近四十年代老朋友。
他们特地带来了粽子，烧鸭，烧肉等，一起共进午餐。我们好久没见了，一谈就谈了数个小时。
傍晚七点，我们参加了一位太极朋友嫁女儿的婚宴。
今天是一个很长的“大吃日”！
