We have an online store selling to Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>Verdict? It&#8217;s comfier than the 3M one and way more stylish. Still, if you want to get an even more cooling one, try the double vent one, I guess since it&#8217;s cotton (I haven&#8217;t tried it but I&#8217;m guessing since if this one is ok, that one should be even better).<\/p>\n<p>I still have the 3M with me but with the Vogmask, I&#8217;m sure I won&#8217;t accidentally tear it or anything of that sort. Let&#8217;s face it. Until Indonesia gets things sorted out, the haze is going to be here for quite a bit.<\/p>\n<p>With all this haze though, it means most of our activities are limited indoors. But ungghhhh. I can stay indoors. On the computer all the time but eh, sometimes one needs to just go out and run around.<\/p>\n<p>SO HERE&#8217;S A LIST of indoor activities you can do that does not involve being stuck at home (besides lurking in shopping malls):<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/climb-asia.com\/home\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\">Climb Asia<\/a> at Civil Service Club. If you don&#8217;t have a climbing license for belayed climbs, you could try bouldering.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.climbcentral.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\">Climb Central<\/a> at Kallang Wave.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportshub.com.sg\/venues\/Pages\/ocbc-aquatic-centre.aspx\">Swimming pool<\/a> at Aquatic Centre. I think it&#8217;s indoor, not the main one, the one for practice but you&#8217;ve got to check if it is open to public in case there&#8217;s training.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/ampedsingapore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Trampoline park<\/a> ! Jump here and there&#8230;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/laserops.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\">Laser Ops<\/a> . It&#8217;s totally indoor laser tag at Dhoby Ghaut. We <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seriouslysarah.com\/blog\/2013\/12\/02\/laser-ops\/\" target=\"_blank\">went there<\/a> before and it was fun as heck.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lilliputt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lilliputt<\/a> miniature golfing. Indoors, mini golf. Aircon. Ahhh&#8230; It&#8217;s like visiting mini Singapore with tiny balls. Erm, right. Anyway, we <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seriouslysarah.com\/blog\/2010\/04\/05\/sds-1-13-she-bangs\/\" target=\"_blank\">did find it fun<\/a> when you go with a bunch of friends.<\/li>\n<li>Go to the various museums in Singapore. Come on, this should be pretty obvious. The museums are rather fun or check out the art galleries too.<\/li>\n<li>Libraries. Sure, it&#8217;s not a strenuous activity but it&#8217;s great to borrow books or dvds. Did you know they also increased loans since this year, 2015 is their 20th anniversary?<\/li>\n<li>Learn how to play Magic: the Gathering at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/summonersg\" target=\"_blank\">Summoner&#8217;s<\/a> . It&#8217;s a small shop but it&#8217;s got a friendly owner and such. Just say you&#8217;re new and you want to learn how to play and they might teach you or some people there might help you out.<\/li>\n<li>Go to a cat cafe like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catcafe.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\">Neko No Niwa<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecompanyofcats.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Company of Cats<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(remember to check their rules!) OR the <a href=\"http:\/\/thecatmuseum.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cat Museum<\/a> (I guess I could put this under the museum list but eh, I&#8217;m putting this under cats).<\/li>\n<li>Boardgame cafes. If I can put learn M:tG in the list, you can play other games too in these cafes but bring some friends or you&#8217;ll be the only one playing jenga or something.<\/li>\n<li>Go visit your friend&#8217;s house and eat their food.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So, what have you guys been doing?
