The breezes of Singapore

When we were planning the trip back to Singapore & Malaysia, I was dreading the heat and humidity. I remembered getting off the plane in Kuala Lumpur five years ago when I came over here to first meet Rita (another story), and seemingly walking into a wall of hot, humid air. This time, getting off the plane in Singapore, while the heat was palpable, it wasn't oppressive like I remembered, or thought I did anyway. After Sun picked us up and dropped us at his apartment, as we were standing outside, the wind was fairly howling by us, and it was surprisingly cooling. Getting up to his place on the third floor, I was pleasantly surprised how quickly his place cooled down as soon as we opened the doors & let the breeze through. Although I wouldn't want to sleep in the relative coolness of the apartment, sitting around and eating a quick dinner was quite pleasant. I was still very thankful for the AC in the room so we could sleep comfortably.
