Some thoughts came to me when I was having my walks the past few days and nights. I thought that I could write about how to survive the Singapore's climate when one goes outdoors for a walk. Here are tips recommended by yours truly to survive walking under the Singapore's climate. Read on if you find it credible:

• Bring along a pair sunglasses. - This will help keep off much of the glare from the tropical sun.
  

• Bring along an umbrella or a poncho. - There are times that it may rain. An umbrella and a poncho can shelter one from the rain. It can be fun to be walking in a drizzle. For those who don't like to carry an umbrella or a poncho, then please take efforts to plan your route wisely so that you can find shelter easily even if you were to be caught in the rain.

• Wear comfortable clothings, preferably of a light colour. - That will help make you feel comfortable even if you had to be out under the sun for a long time. Dark coloured clothings tend to absorb the heat, so light coloured clothings would be better.

• If you are vain, please wear sun-block lotion with good UV protection. Even if you are not, consider doing so if you plan to be out in the sun for long periods of time.
  

• Wear comfortable shoes. - Then you will find yourself more able to walk longer distances. But well, comfortable shoes may not be a necessity if you have lots of money to hire taxis. Actually, taxi-rates in Singapore are relatively much cheaper than taxi-rates in London.

• Bring along a water bottle filled with water. - This will come handy when you get thirsty or want to drink something cooling when the weather gets hot. But for those wishing to travel light and are not on a shoe-string budget, they may omit the water bottle. It is quite easy to purchase liquid refreshments except when one is visiting very deserted places.
