In recent weeks, almost every day can see this sign in Weather Reports.
Especially in the afternoon in industrial areas, it is at least 2 degree higher than reported. Very hot and feel like being steamed and dried up.
People working outdoor, such as construction site workers, messengers walking on roads, sales representatives who have to travel from place to place, they feel even hotter than us. Skin being heated by fierce sunlight, walking and sweating non-stop, the whole shirt becomes wet but still has to hold a professional suit-coat. Air-condition, fan, water, shelters and even shades become treasures in the heated city.
I guess most people would have heard their parents telling them this when they were young: ‘Ah son Ah daughter, work harder for your studies la. Get good results and go to universities, then you can find a job sitting in air-conditioned office to work. Otherwise you have to work outdoor and will be very hot in summer and very cold in winter ga la … …’
Working hard is a must for students because they have no work responsibility and they should not waste the resources of their parents and the society. But at the same time, they have to think, not just study blindly. Playing with friends is not bad, chatting over the phones is not bad, going home late is not bad, but too much will be bad. Everything should not be too much, just fit and strike a balance will do.
I love summer, but too much this sign is definitely bad. Can we have more dark clouds, rain, thunderstorm, typhoon, which are important ingredients of summers, to balance back?
