The heater in my room was spoilt since last week and it has been around 2-4 deg every night. It was not that cold but sufficiently cold that I almost got muscle cramp on a few occasions - soreness every night though. I resorted to doing push ups, crunches etc to make my body feel warmer... It didn't help much so the best solution was just to put on my jacket in my room. The heater might have been asking me to take a chill pill...
Anyway, I am grateful to a friend in my hall who got to know of my chilling attitude and decided to lend me her heating fan...not sure what you call it but it looks like this:
I hate to say this but it was quite lovely to have blasts of hot air blowing at you; I'm certain it would have been an abominable thing in Singapore (aircon please). Thankful for my friend's kindness.
The heater started working again yesterday - it was so comforting to walk back into a warm room. It really made me appreciate the things that I have. This is so cliché, but we really often neglect the things we have till we no longer have them. My experience with these few cold nights also gave me insights on those who are unable to afford the heating during winter, and also those homeless I see at times.
In everything, give thanks.
p.s. I should be doing my coursework but I ended up here. Somehow I really don't have the mood to do work...I guess I will pay for it the night before submission but I suppose taking a chill pill is fine.
