Heat Wave

If you live in Vancouver, the "HOT" topic last week was the weather. We had an unbelievable heat wave, with temperatures hitting mid 30s (Celsius), which for Vancouver is just not normal! For us Vancouverites, hitting mid 20s is high so can you imagine mid 30s? Wow!

Now I was born in Singapore, where temperatures in the 30s are normal, so I loved the heat, especially since it was a dry heat, not humid. However, you know it is DEFINITELY too hot when I succumb to the heat, which I did on Thursday. It was crazy because I was fine and loving the heat all week when on Thursday, I felt out-of-sync and like I was going to pass out, so I went home. For the rest of the day and the next day, I had no energy and I had to fight to stay cool. I finally felt better by Friday afternoon.

So the lesson learned here: I need to drink more water and stay cool.
