Roasting and burning

You realise nowadays the weather is damn hot?! It's so hot that it becomes a chore to sit down and read a book, for you perspire within 5 minutes what you would usually perspire in 2.4km runs. I'm not exaggerating, the weather is just that damn hot. I start to think why is that so, but before I know it, I'm dozing off because hot weather is only made for sleeping. Especially in long draggy afternoons zzz.

...

So you find my TCS posts are usually at night - because when the air is cooler I think better (actually do I even think when I post) and I won't doze off halfway while posting. And if you're thinking that SHERWIN SIM is the reason for the hot weather now, you're fooling no one. He's off in Guangzhou, China training with the other waterpolo people, and bringing thermal heating to the cold spring weather there. Ya lucky waterpolo players get to have nice cool weather in China as well as thermal heating -.-"

While we in Singapore do not have such privileges and have to stand such heat. Bloody hell, I'm starting to agree with MM Lee that the aircon is the best invention of the century. Last century, of course, not this one with only 6 years. If the aircon had only been invented 6 years ago, I don't know if I'll have one now. And I might just die due to heatstroke.

Nevertheless, what IS causing the heat is not important. The thing is, the heat is here now so we must find ways to deal with it. TCS, being at the forefront and at the top of things (summit, you see), will propose a few innovations to deal with it all. Hopefully it helps. Of course, though when you think of mountain "summits" you think of cool air, you must understand that Singapore has not many tall mountains. The top of Bt Timah Hill is still warm. So if the ideas seem stupid, it's not my fault. Blame it on the height of Bt Timah Hill. And the fact that Singapore sucks with such bad weather.

Thus, presenting to you..

Proposal 1: AIRCONDITIONED NATION


In case you can't really see, there's a box round the whole Singapore. And in case you are aesthetically challenged, it's 3D. Get it? 3 dimensional. Meaning it's actually rectangular and it's in space. Can contain volume. Yep and unlike your silly Chemistry models I have decided to make it nice and simple. No more TRIGONAL PLANAR! No more TRIGONAL BIPYRAMIDAL! No more OCTAHEDRAL! Tetrahedral? NO! Not really anyway. It's just plain lovely rectangular.

So what is that box supposed to represent? Unlike your silly "THE BOX" during Z'Kardia, it does not serve any purpose similar to Pandora's. It is air-conditioning! Now how cool is that (literally)! We get to have nice little lovely aircon wherever we walk about in the island. Though of course you can expect to get a rude shock when you cross the Causeway (back to gay heat). There's advantages to being small - yes. The cost of airconditioning the whole nation will take less than let's say, airconditioning Malaysia.

Haha actually Indonesia also GGXX with their number of islands. Can't imagine how long they are going to take to do it. Plus with their number of corrupt officials.. I think the earth might spin on its axis to give Indonesia winter long before the aircon project ever gets done. That's assuming they even get started. But let's not dwell on that. The fact is we're lucky to be small and airconable that we should not laugh at others. Accept the fact that we are blessed.

Funding? Take from those who contribute to global warming: ie litterbugs and from supermarket cash registers. Since they use so many plastic bags a day, it's time to give back to the society. Taxpayers' money also can be put to better use, instead of funding some don't know what education. There will be no education if the sun gets too hot and kills all of us understand?! So let there be aircon, and let there be money to construct the aircon. We need great builders too, but that can be settled easily. Bob the Builder from RI shall be glad to help out. See, we do have local talent.

Proposal 2: THE GIANT FAN


We build some crazily big fan. Of course I can't post the actual image here, I'd need some few km long and few km wide flat-screen TV to do so. Just so you know it's damn big, I put the scale there. Go figure why is it so big. It's meant to be for the country and this fan could function somewhat like a windmill. Generates lots of strong wind currents which will ultimately make everyone feel nice and cool. And we could stick this huge structure right in the centre of the island where it is most effective.

Hence, I propose that the fan be built near the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio area. Actually, we could demolish RJC's A-C tutorial blocks (they're useless anyway) and then put the huge fan there. That way us hardworking students at RJC who always tend to overwork our brains (and get them heated up) can be cooled down by the giant fan. The only possible problem might be maintenance, when the fan starts to get dirty. Hmm perhaps we should send a few jokers up there to clean it.

Oh but there's another purpose for the giant fan. It's kind of sadistic, but hey, it's cost-efficient and saves money. You know the capital punishment of hanging? Well now we wouldn't have to waste so much money on buying rope and getting professionals to do the dirty job. I'll leave the rest to your imagination. We won't call it hanging ever again, next time judges will say "I sentence you to death by fanning". Ahaha then GGXX. Killing two birds with one stone (two convicts with one fan?), this is smart double-use of one product.

Of course, this problem is only temporary and only surfaces during school holidays. Who knows, things might get better when school reopens. After all, everyone needs to eat, don't they? So they go down to the canteen and who do we see? THE COOLIOS! Coolios, being so cool, will counter the bloody heat of the day and make your life better. Hence, don't keep thinking that the coolios are in a world of their own - hell no, when it comes to being cool and staying cool, they change our world as well. Bringing the temperature down and making things more bearable.

Yes.

So be it the big aircon proposal or the giant fan proposal, it is for the sake of the bright young talents of the nation. By saying that I'm not referring to myself, but for JC students in general. After all, the brain works at the optimum temperature of 25 deg Celsius (it's proven), so the stupid temperatures of around 35 deg Celsius now is totally unacceptable. You can't change the sun, so change yourself to suit the situation! Man was made to adapt, not to die. (unless you're some fool who totally deserves to)

Hopefully some government official sees my proposals and implements them. Better yet if he rewards me with a Nobel Prize but no, I'm just doing this for the welfare of everyone. =) The world, or just Singapore, will be better if the weather gets cooler and if the temperature drops.

Hell, I hate the heat man.
