the heat wave

The weather has been extremely hot recently. Although it rains, the rain is just too little and won't help increase the dam level. Now, the water rationing plan has spread to the fourth stage where many more households are affected. The housing area around mine is also on the list, but we cannot find the name of our taman yet. As usual, hubby made a call to SYABAS last nite and was told it is impossible we will not get affected since the whole area is involved. Water is so important that I can't live without, same goes to electricity where I must live with air-cond. How irony is that, in a country full of natural resources, we actually have water rationing and it has been going on for a few months? What a shame... And so we thought of buying a big water tank or pail to store some water and found a not-so-big pail costs us RM65. That's really daylight robbery...
