Middle Mouse; Planting Tree

Every year around this period, Singapore and its surrounding countries are plucked out from the globe and shoved straight up through a dimensional portal into a steam room.

Not an oven, not a sun-tan baking bed – a steam room literally. Last Sunday apparently was a record hot day in 6 years – 35.3 deg C. Now I know people in temperate countries might sneer at the ‘record’ – nyeeehhh, 35 deg only, not like 40 deg at some other places.

Well, to be honest, I have not experienced a 40 deg day before so I can’t comment on how hot it is compared to the ‘record’ we had. But, I did get sick on Sunday – as a result of coming in and out between warm and cold places. MRT was cold; station was warm. Church was cold; the void deck was searing warm. Everyone practically blasted their air con, so whenever you enter an air con place, it’s a stark 17 deg difference.

Which left me with a 38 deg fever on Sunday night. As the days passed by I realized that given this kinda weather, you probably can get heatstroke while sleeping at night.

It rained today, and the whole sky was cloudy. But we still sweat just by breathing. Disgusting.
