Dense fog in Delhi, PM Najib is here

It is 7.15am now. 9.45am in KL.
I woke up at 6.30am and can't see a single thing out of my high-window at a hotel here. Dense fog. I could not even see the road just below my hotel room at the Janpath area.
Nasib baik dah sampai semalam! Kabus semalam petang bila pesawat mendarat tak seteruk pagi ini.
The headlines on live TV channel just now:
- Delhi fogged out.
- 11 international flights delayed due to fog.
- 31 total flights delayed due to fog.
Whew. Tak tahu boleh balik bila tiba masanya!

Temperature is around 7 deg C in the mornings, going up to about 15 deg in the afternoon, say locals.

And I didn't realise this earlier - PM Najib, his loving wife and the big Malaysian delegation is here also. Though not at my hotel.
India is fast-growing and Malaysia wants to tap into this, like it does China. And it wants investments from the Elephant and the Dragon too.
India's airport is building a Terminal 3, you see highway projects everywhere, yet in the hotel and government belt in NEW Delhi, still green, the roads are small and jammed up - a bit like a huge version of Jalan U-Thant - banyak pokok (thanks to the old British Raj), banyak hotel, tapi jalan sempit.
In OLD Delhi kat sebelah, dah lama botak.

I saw one headline over the BBC: 8 men arrested over the church attacks in Malaysia. Yay.
In Singapore, Genting has opened it casino-resort on Sentosa. In Singapore, we don't call it casino, the two complexes are called "IRs" by Singaporeans, Integrated Resort. Macam malu nak panggil dia casino tempat judi haram.

India pula semalam dan hari ini macam nak gaduh dengan Australia sebab rakyatnya ramai dah kena bantai bila belajar di sana.
Dan Pakistan pun lagi marah sekali lagi dengan India, sebab musim cricket nak bermula tetapi tak ada pemain cricket dari Pakistan yang 'dibeli' oleh team-team besar dari India. Mereka kata 'security risk', tapi pemain Pakistan kata diskriminasi.
