Sahara desert, the essence of being "hot"

Sahara desert. Little rain, low humidity and high in temperature. A little resemblance to Lab 409 until last Tuesday. The el- Nino season was finally taken over. Winter came and 14 homosapiens finally heaved a sigh of relief. Phew and wow were the two super popular words in which they had continually mentioned throughout the week. Even the microorganisms seem to be toasting towards the new found happiness. Rec PHB-4 Usm 2 entered its “overgrown” phase at 22.5 hours instead of the usual 24 hours. Wonder, wonder. Wonder what was the fuss all about? Haha…the story goes like this. During my industrial training in a research lab, be it full of people or not, we just had to endure the hot and stuffy season due to the low maintenance of the air conditioners. Since the centre of attraction of our lab is the gas chromatography machine, whenever any samples were run, we were often seen drowsy and polar-bearish…Refer to King Wey especially…HahA..It is always a known fact that each and every research officer suppose to be donning a lab coat for safety purpose…Instead, the sight of lab coats were “never seen before” in our lab. It was simply just too hot. Nothing else. Either we don not the lab coats and risk getting our clothes stained or we don the lab coats and risk ourselves fainting in the lab…What would it be for you? Perhaps it wasn’t until the extent of signing petition or having a peaceful demo but we needed to work hard too. Letters after letters were signed and approved..Purchase order were sent to the supplier but they responded by testing our patience in return…No man power. No stock…and the rest was history….14 homosapiens waited day after day..They moaned, grumbled and had the polar- bearish look…But they were determined. And finally, voila… their patience were paid off. Two brand new Panasonic air- conditioners arrived and after that, the all polar- bearish looks were seen no more….10000 B.C
