Panas! Panas!

Sejak kebelakangan ini antara topik yang hangat diperbincangkan (selain dari jawatan MB Perak tuh) ialah cuaca panas dan berbahang di kawan pantai barat malaysia.Khabar nyer musim nih penyaman udara di kedai2 elektrik mendapat permintaan yang cukup tinggi, sampai tokey kedai tak cukup kakitangan nak pergi buat installation plak.Aku pun suatu masa tuh cam rasa nak pasang aircond gak ( huhu tak nak kalah), tapi kita gunakan jer aper yang ader pakai kipas jer (jimatkan letrik gak). Cuaca cam nih membuatkan ramai orang berasa lethargic (atau tak bermaya), malas nak melakukan aktiviti2 luar seperti berjogging atau bersenam di luar. So makin ramailah rakyat malaysia yang berada di shopping2 kompleks untuk menyejukkan badan dan mencusi mata. Bhanag panas bukan sajer di siang hari malah kenkadang membawa ke malam, sampai nak tidur pun tak selesa, pasang kipas tuh kalau boleh nak letak lebih dari kelajuan yang ke5 tuh. Masa2 cam nih korang ader tak terbayang best nyer kalau dapat:-


1) Mandi bawah shower sepanjang hari,letak pulak yang paling sejuk..best nyer...


2)Berendam dalam bathtub pas tuh letak wangi-wangian..leh lelap woo..Tapi kan umah den takdo bathtub pun..3)terjun tiruk dan berendam kat air terjun /jeram, gerenti sejuk dah kecut baru nak naik.. jummmmmmmmmmmmm (gambar air terjun kat sabah )


Bila malam2 yang sungguh membahang itu korang boleh ikut antara petua atau tips yang aku gogglekan untuk menolong korang mendapatkan tidur malam yang nyaman yer. tapi kalau tak jalan tuh, sendiri tanggung lah eks..


a)take your blanket off as this will cool you down or make you "Laurence". If you require some form of cover for protection, maybe you should consider getting a very thin sheet as opposed to a heavy blanket, quilt or doona.
b)Plug in your fan and turn it towards you. Purchase a commercial bag of ice cubes. Empty the entire bag into a wide, shallow container (to contain the water as the ice melts) such as a roasting pan. Place the container of ice right in front of the fan (between the fan and you), at the level of the top of the bed. The ice-cooled air will be noticeably cooler than the room air for the amount of time it takes for the ice to melt -- which is as long as it should take for you to fall asleep!
c)Try the window method. Open your window at night time to let cool air breeze through your house.
d)Try the towel method. Hang a wet towel from two chairs to hold the ice. The melting ice will wet and chill the towel and the fan will blow that cold air on you. Place a container under the towel to catch the melting ice water. You can use a thread to connect the bottom of the towel with the container to avoid the annoying dripping sound.

e)A cool shower will do wondersTake a cool shower, bath, or wipe your body down with a cool wash cloth. Without fully drying yourself, hop into bed, and let the air slowly dry you. This will keep you cool for a long time, allowing you to fall asleep. If a shower or bath is not an option, splash cool water on your head, and soak your hands and feet in cool water if possible. Your head, hands and feet are your "radiators" and you'll feel cooler faster by focusing on those areas.
f)Take a pair of cotton socks, rinse them in cold water, wring them until they are damp and put them on. Cooling your feet lowers the overall temperature of your skin and body.
g)Sleep in a 'spread eagle' position, so heat doesn't gather around you and think cool thoughts.
Try buckwheat pillows or futons. These don't retain body heat and feel cool all night long.
h)Get out of bed and splash cold water on your face (and body if you want). Then wait for a few minutes for the water to evaporate on its own. When you go back to bed you will find your bed seems much cooler and more comfortable because the body heat trapped in the mattress and/or pillow will have dissipated by the time you return to bed.
g)Dampen a hand towel and lie in bed with it on your forehead. Turn it over and dampen again when needed.
