<p>&#8220;Probably not the smartest idea, but I was desperate because of how hot it was. I bought a bunch of ice packs, stuck them in the freezer all day, then lay them out on the floor and slept on them at night.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was uncomfortable but at least it was cool. I did, however, wake up in a puddle. 10/10 do not recommend.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;My family freaked out &#8217;cause they couldn&#8217;t find me. Eventually, my mum discovered me sleeping in the giant bucket haha. Let&#8217;s just say, she was a good mix of angry and relieved.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;In our uni days, my boys and I opted for a &#8216;budget-friendly&#8217; house with no air con. REGRETSSSS.</p>
<p>&#8220;The ceiling fans were not fast, so only hot air circulated. We tried looking up cheap portable air con units but it was too expensive.</p>
<p>&#8220;So, we put our engineering minds together and came up with an ingenious plan to cool ourselves — make our own air cond! We bought bags of ice from 7-Eleven and placed them in a basin in front of a stand fan, AND BEHOLD, WE BEAT THE HEAT!&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;When I was much younger, my parents didn&#8217;t allow us to turn on the AC during the day to save electricity. I remember coming home after school and it was just a scorching hot day. </p>
<p>&#8220;The child genius that I was figured that if I went in the fridge, I could stay cool without using the AC. I was halfway through removing the fridge shelves when my mum caught me, and proceeded to scold me. Hehehe.</p>
<p>&#8220;My mum gave me a long lecture afterwards, because she was worried that I could have trapped myself in the fridge and suffocated. :&#8217;)&#8221;</p>
