  • Just when you thought yesterday was hot…

    I literally felt the sweat bead up on my chest, underneath my T-Shirt as I put it on after showering. Literally. I questioned all sense of what hygiene was about during my entire journey to meet my wife for lunch.

    The sun bore down directly on me, all the day long. The worst part was when I saw the hope of a dark cloud, the possibility of rain. But instead it just moved over and the sun came back again. It was so, so, so hot.

    These hot days add challenges to my sleep as well. I wake up full of sweat, and just really hot. I have to change my shirt, I have to move my pillows away, because it’s just too wet, full of sweat. More things to sun dry the next day. And all I hope is that I get some sleep at some point. It’s horrendous, these hot days.

    I really just hope tomorrow I get to hide in the shelter of air conditioning in my office, and I really hope that I don’t need to do too much physical work, in this attempt to stay cool through the day.

    Really just such a hot day today.

  • Heat

    Today was a semi rest day from all the working out I’ve been doing, but I’m trying to pushups more consistently throughout the day.

    It was a semi rest day because I didn’t actually do a full work out, but I walked a whole bunch, and all the push ups made me still need to eat quite well. On top of all that, there was this wet heat over Singapore (at least the part of Singapore that I’m at).

    Wet heat is really gross. It makes you stay damp all day, but not necessarily sweaty, but just damp. Clammy. The wind blowing is hot as well, so it doesn’t really dry you up, as much as it just moves more moisture to your skin.

    I end up being very wet all day long. An everlasting layer of sweat just coated on me, making me very shiny and very sticky. The worst part is that I start to sweat because of the heat, and that just adds to the stickiness.

    So I walked around today, as a sticky brown man, sweating, dripping sweat wherever I go, and just being really grumpy in between aircon spots.
