Human Heat

This is not a post about science. Or about the human body temperature. Or thermal equilibrium.

Humans heat up quite easily. The inner kind of heat which starts up when one gets angry or upset. That kind of heat scares me.

This morning, my mum and I went to town and drove round and round to look for an available parking space so we could go to the Central Market. We waited behind one white Kenari which waited for a Kancil to reverse out  from its parking space so that the Kenari could park. The Kenari driver didn't notice that there was another car (I forgot what car it was so let's call it The Grey Car) which was there EARLIER than the Kenari, waiting to park in the place of the Kancil. So when the Kenari parked into that place which was supposed to be The Grey Car's place, The Grey Car's driver immediately got down from his car, slammed the car door and marched up to the Kenari's driver in full fury. Yes. I could feel human heat radiating from his facial expression and his walk. I thought he was going to stir up a fight or something but luckily the Kenari driver pulled away from that parking spot and gave it up to The Grey Car. Phew.

Just now, my mum, grandma, sister, brother and I went to Anson for dinner. And as I had expected, it was full. So we had to do the same old thing people always do there. WAIT. So we waited and waited and then there was this table of people which finished their meals and stood up and walked away and so we went to sit down but realized there were three other people waiting for the same table too. But my grandma sat down fast and my mum insisted us to just sit down. I felt really sorry for those three people and I saw their disappointed faces when they walked away. One of them frowned and shook her head and once again I could feel that human heat. Sigh.

I wish Anson would make a waiting list or something. It hurts to look at people trying to "fight" for available tables. Not real fights but there's always this kind of tension in between. Oh...I don't know. Maybe I'm too sensitive.

Human heat is actually alright because everyone has it, including myself. But too much of it will stir up chaos and cause catastrophe.
