Alycia is having a one month semester break and classes will only resume on 25th April. As she hardly goes out to exercise under the sun, I dragged her out to walk with me to the nearby kopitiam to have breakfast last Saturday morning.
And here we are at the open air kopitiam, sweating buckets with no fan and no air conditioner, and the both of us slurped down a bowl of hot noodles, which made us sweat even more profusely. This kind of sweating is even more intense than working out. I felt like I was being baked inside a sauna. We walked under the blistering 11-ish sun, and then chomped down noodles in piping hot soup, alfresco style with only trees above us as shade in temperatures ranging from 37-40C 🥵.
After we were done eating, we walked to the supermarket to get some veggies and then walked home in the searing afternoon sun, ouch! But it feels good to soak in the glorious sunlight, get our dose of vitamin D and serotonin (aka the feel-good hormone).
And I always slather sun block lotion on every part of my exposed skin before going out in the sun.
Cass who doesn’t like to walk and sweat under the sun didn’t join us. She asked me to snap photos of the Western food stall menu and text her the menu for her to choose 🙄
With the current heatwave in our country, I find myself dreading the thought of stepping into a hot kitchen to cook. So I opt for simpler meals that require minimal preparation and don’t involve stir-frying or requiring me to stand next to the hot stove for a long time.
