I don’t believe that Malaysia does not have 4 seasons. We have musim banjir, musim tengkujuh, musim kemarau and pilihranraya (it’s sound so much crude when you use Bahasa instead of English). And now, we have kemarau. Its scorching hot and I felt like melting once I stepped outside of my building. Wait. That may not be due to heat. Maybe I am a vampire.

OK kidding.

Its imperative for us to save water at this moment. So, here are some things that you might want to do during this season.

1. Cut your frequency of talking. Save your saliva.
2. Move less because movement will create sweat and you’ll lose water in your body. Then you’ll have to consume water and do you realize that our dams are short of water at this time because there is no rain? See my point?
3. Cut your bathing frequency from twice to once during weekends. I realize its not logical to do so during weekdays if you are working.
4. Instead of using the bath tub, use shower. Maximum 3 minutes. Soap yourself, brush your teeth and wash your face at the same time. And tell us if you are able too because frankly, I’ve never tried it. Can’t wait to hear the result.
5. As I said before, we might want to cut on the water intake because everyone are short on water. Hence, cut your movements too. If usually you drink water and stop at the pantry, read an article or two and then walk to your friend's table for a chat, cut it all. Email you friends. It’s much more convenient that way.
6. If you always walk to the toilet located in other floors because you want to stretch your legs, stop doing it. Go to the one on the same floor. You can’t possibly gain weight in this global sauna. Ouh wait, that was me going to the 14th floor toilet. Thi hi hi. Cancel that
7. Thinking makes us tired. When we are tired, we drink. So, stop thinking.
8. Eat things with high water content. Meaning: let’s ditch all our diet and eat ice cream because the ice will melt in our mouths and there you go! Water.
9. Spend as much time possible in a building with air condition. Better still if the temperature can be mimicked similar to the North Pole.
10. Get yourself hypnotized. Make believe (until you believe that there is no heat).

So there you are! Ten simple, do-able steps. So have fun trying people and save the water.

Crap, they say the heat will stay until September 2009.
