Syuen become Syeun

Syuen Hotel, one of the best known hotel in Ipoh, commenced business in 1993. Since then many people find that it's a little confuse of how to pronounce its name correctly. I have heard all kind of different way of calling it, such as "swan" and "soon", while we have used to call it "shoe-en", which should be the correct one. However, I have not noticed, until recently, that the hotel name has changed from "Syuen" to "Syeun", I didn't even find the difference in my previous post about this hotel. I hope I am not the last one knowing this..... lol.

 

Return of the Beautiful Sunset

The thick haze that attacked Kinta Valley 3 days ago went to a an unhealthy level yesterday, but dramatically, the haze has completely gone today and the clear sky is returned. I am sure everyone in the city feel relief and grateful of regaining a healthy atmosphere. And we shall be taught a good lesson to protect the mother nature properly in order to sustain a healthy and liveable environment.

 

Grey Sky

Ipoh is found with thicker haze today. We can even staring at the sun directly during afternoon. Looking up at the grey sky, we know the air in this city is unhealthy. However, there are still many pedestrian and motorcyclist on the street do not practice wearing face mask.

Under Haze Attack

The Indonesia forest fire is, again, causing thick haze attacking Malaysia & Singapore. From east Malaysia to Southern states of Peninsula Malaysia, the haze is now entering the atmosphere of Ipoh. The first disappearing object from our sight are the surrounding hills & mountains. High rise buildings in the city are then become a simple but straight forward indication of the situation. It seems we will be living in such hazy environment for days, or even weeks, depend on how fast the forest fire can be put out.
