LIFE : HEAT



The weather is so hot and I can still feel the heat even though my house Air-condition has been on since afternoon . Some of my neighbours are complaining that they can't stay inside the house because of the heat specially at night. So they will sit outside their house while waiting for the house temperature to be cooled a bit. Most of them are sleeping at their living room instead of bedroom which are located at the second floor. This is a normal phenomena living in the terrace houses which are built from brick. The brick will release the heat that trap inside and it will take some time to be cooled.

when I was staying in Ipoh. The Kinta City shopping complex is surrounding by terrace houses. So after dinner most of the terrace houses owner will visit the shopping complex not for window shopping but just to sit on the bench inside the shopping complex to cool themself from outside heat. No wonder each time I visited the shopping complex, you could see the crowd of people whose were relaxing and sitting on the bench. By the time the shopping complex close the house temperature has cool down.

When I make a comparison staying in Kampung and city. I still find that staying in Kampung area is much cooler because of the greener environment.So to cool down the temperature stop cutting down the trees and lands clearing in the name of developments. Our future world temperature liaise on our own hand.
