High Temperature 2

The temperature continues to rise. Today, it's at 33°C and expected to reach till 35°C on Saturday. The weather forecast said that we were to expect occasional storms in the day.

For an occasional storm, it's really occasional: 7 minutes of heavy rain and it stops as sudden as it came. By the time you put on your slippers and open the main gate, getting a little bit drenched (as you were lazy to get an umbrella), the strong sun quickly comes out and let you dry again.

Even the water level of small river (hmm.. or maybe it's more like a very big ditch/drain) besides the area where cat lives, has dropped down drastically 1 1/2 meters from the normal level. That is how hot it is here.

The NST newspaper last Sunday reported that TNB (Tenaga Nasional Berhad) advised consumers to use electricity prudently even more so during this heatwave. On Feb 4, power demand stood at 14,384 megawatt and six days later the demand registered at 14,417 megawatt. (an increase of 33 megawatts in 6 days).

That is to be expected. The hotter it gets, the more you uses the fan and/aircond. And this weekend will surely shows a much higher increase in electricity usage as Malaysians are enjoying a long holiday period from this Friday till Sunday due to the Prophet Muhammad's birthday. Hoping (even if it's hopeless) that they will not be any black outs in Cat area again and again. Hot and in darkness: :( hated that..

The human temperature around here is also on the rise. More headaches with things to decide and basically a need to cut cat's self to 100 pieces in order to get all things done (Going back later and later . How do you prevent the heat from getting to the head? Sigh.. wish there is a good formula to it. Tempers so thin and feelings so fragile. Luckily cat does not have a license to drive :p.. who knows what this distracted cat might run over while driving? Hmm..Got to keep cool.. and cat still has not get her 'Sirap Bandung' or Ais Kacang yet..
