Positive Feedback Mechanism

Somehow i feel that the weather is just like a positive feedback. The hotter it gets, more and more people install airconds and more heat is released by that compressor thing installed together with your air cond. Besides, you get free CFC emission which is one of the deadliest ozone killer. There's worse, with the rise in temperature, parents tend to stay inside their luxury cars and burn petrol just to keep themself cold while waiting for their beloved children in school. Try turning the air cond in you car to max and stand outside next to the door, you'll know how much heat the people outside suffer while you enjoy your day reading novels and listening to your favourite radio.. Turn of your damned vehicles while you are not moving it anywhere! wtf..

To the clouds in the sky, START RAINING ALREADY YOU USELESS PIECE OF WHITE CRAP!!

wtf..

Nearby Bushfire






Its been a few days since my last update. Few days ago i kept on cursing about the damn hot waether and now I'm in oerth, enjoying the cold breeze and the fresh air. I feel lika a barbequed chicken removed from the fire and thrown straight into the freezer.. oh yeah it feels good..






My flight was at 6 am, and as usual Iwas doing some last minute packing the night before. As usual I cleaned myself and prepared to go to bed. I went down to have a cup of water which is when my dad came home and asked me to chech out the glow at the hill behind our house. I went out and saw a yellowish red glow and heard some crackling sound which was quite loud. I walked towards the glow which is a few houses away from mine and saw the source of that beautiful glow. A small bushfire was burning the barbequed trees behing the my neighbours house. The night breeze was feeding oxygen to spreading the fire just like those "satay boys" you see on a roadside stall feeding the fire with the "kipas". As the fire was quite small campared to the fire in the photo in my previous post, it's actually quite a beautiful scene. Too bad I didn't have a tripod with me or the pictures might look even better.


About 20 minutes later, some bomba were spotted climbing the hills using something like a fireproof cloth to beat up the fire. I though bombas were supposed to used something more high tech like "hose and water" instead of "cloth and hands". I though I wanted to see them put out the fire but they took so long that I lost interest and went to sleep instead. Hoorah for the heroes..
Total death and damage assumed:
500 ants
50 plants
5 birds' nest
and 50 minutes of sleep
Curse you, stupid weather for giving sunburn and the lack of sleep.. I hate the equator~!

Global Warming... Global Warning..

Since the day i left Singapore and came back to KK, the weather here has been hot like hell. Just when I thought Singapore is considerably closer to the Equator than KK, it turns out that KK felt hell lot more hot. 'How hot?' you might ask. From the temperature readings, KK is a well 2~4 degrees Celsius higher than Singapore, and thats a big deal! While the hot weather could be frustrating enough, the sunshine here is definitely skin killing and cancer causing. If I were a turkey, I'd describe my situation now as being deeped into a big bowl of boiling hot oil (the hot weather) and the entire bowl being put into a microwave oven set at full blast (the radiation from the sunlight). There's definitely no other better ways to describe the heat I'm undergoing now. I might just die.. In fact, i have been driving around these 3 days in my car and my skin has noticebly turned black! WTF.. I spent 2 whole semesters avoiding the sun and now I'm being thrown back into square 1 just for a few hours driving?! I'm gonna wear a jacket to protect my delicate skin starting tomorrow, or else my white tofu like skin might as well become oil tofu..

All these.. thanks to the effect of cglobal warming.. There aint a single pathetic piece of cloud in the sky for days.. There hasnt been a single drop of rain in weeks when u need it.. And when once in a while u see some dark clouds started forming, its just stupid pity cloud trying to act like a rain cloud. In fact, i think my skin releases more moisture to the air by perspiration than depending on the unreliable rain cloud wannabe.. If this continues on for few more days, I might just change my blog URL to www.steamlessfumes.blogspot.com.

That's not just it, apparently the hectic weather did not only pissed me off, even the trees up on the hills can take no more of this. One of the trees went haywire and lit itself up, turning into flames, which resulted in a homicide up the hillside. The trees burning massacre started sometime around noon and the number of casualtrees continue to grow as I'm typing now.. Its quite a beautiful scene for me though, since my house is not located anywhere near the forest fire, the photos i manage to take was quite beautiful. It loks as if Beverly Hills area had turned Kundasang, with the mist covering the hills and mountains. You can even have a glance at the famous Mount Kinabalu on the second photo. Looks pretty cold in the picture if u can just ignore the glowing fire at the right end of the photo.

But when you come to think about it, why is the fire still burning now since it has already started in the afternoon? What happened to our tax money spent on the fire department? Is this fire too small to be just ignored or maybe the firemen did do their job by praying to their god for rain so they wont need to leave their comfy fire house? wtf.. Malaysia's really a nice place with its own unique culture and attitude.. With this kind of slacking lifestyle, only Malaysia have the ability to survive among all the countries in the world.

Sigh.. I think i gotta go apply heaps of lotion to my hands and neck or else the next thing that catches fire is my tofu skin..

Is this a global warming, or more like a global warning?
