My first day to turn on the AC this year was today. What about the rest of you guys? Note that I work from home so that during the hottest time of the day I am not in my air conditioned office.
Curious how long some of you guys plan to sweat it out.
I am about 300 meters up on a small mountain so it is little cooler up here, but today was the day.
I had an Aikido class this morning and just about died. yep, it is getting a bit warm.
I ran my first ever half marathon in the gym yesterday morning (21 km in 99 minutes), and I’m sure they didn’t have the aircon turned on. By the time I finished, the machine and I looked as if someone had poured a large bucket of water over us.
i spent my 1st lunch time hiding in ding-gua-gua today…always a sign that it’s too hot to trot…
Running mine since two or three days ago at home; office already a bit longer since we are directly under the roof and it’s very stuffy up here.
I think it was Monday we turned ont he bedroom AC for the first time (just for sleeping). Our 1st floor is generally cool enough for just fans during the day until it gets considerably hotter though.

The fans went on in our house last week for the first time in a long while.
The air cons will surely follow soon. Time to get the filters cleaned.
wish they would make the indoor MRT stations and trains cooler…seems like they wait til temps reach 32 before turning on ice cold blasts of chilled air…then ambient temps drop to 20 degrees and ppl complain…so the aircon is turned off completely…and the cycle starts again…
why can’t they just run it constantly, esp during rush hour…
When they first opened the Xindian Line of the MRT, I was still in the habit of riding my motorbike to work, and in the midday heat at the height of summer, suffering terribly on the bike, I’d slow down as I went past Qizhang Station to luxuriate in the wave of chilled air that flowed out of its entrance. For some reason, that was the only one of several stations I passed where I could feel that effect. But they’ve long since turned down the aircon and you no longer feel anything like the same wonderful coolness anywhere near or inside that or any other station.
Thursday was my first also. Cranked it up when I got home from work and it wheezed and moaned for a few minutes before gushing out some cool air. This weekend is pleasantly cooler though.
And, of course, with the coming of the cooler weather, the aircon in the gym has been turned up to full power. Oh well, it can never be too cool for exercise, and the chilly air made it much easier to run a second half-marathon ten minutes faster than the first one and without splashing anywhere near as much sweat around me. If the cooler weather continues and the aircon stays on at full blast, I, for one, will be a happy man.
