Staying warm in winter, staying fit for exams



It was 6 degrees last night. At last, I pulled out the electric blanket from my closet, set it up and turned it on. Ah... the warmness from the blanket immediately sent out waves of Z..Z..Z... signal to my mind and body. Yes, it's time to sleep.

But just before I swtiched off the light, I spotted my neighbour's light in his bedroom. It was still on. My neighbour is an international student and I guess he must be staying up late preparing for exams. Suddenly I had a flasback memory -- remembering those days when I was an international student, studying until late while battilng with the cold weather. Like some international students, saving $$ was important to me and therefore unless it was really necessary, turning on the heater or using the electric blanket was still a luxury for me.


Exams are just around the corner. So are the flu bugs. If you are not used to the cold weather, it can be a real challenge to study, to battle with the cold weather and to maintain health at the same time.


Here are some practical tips of how you can stay warm and stay healthy in this winter and exam season:



All the best to everyone!
