10 Cheap & Fun Things to Do in A VERY Windy Day
According to ChannelNewsAsia:
SINGAPORE: One person said it has become so difficult to play tennis, while another is putting off plans to go on a picnic.
Singapore Polytechnic has even decided, for safety reasons, to take down two banners after one was blown away.
Some feathers have certainly been ruffled by the winds in Singapore this week. In a country where the average wind speed is around 15 to 20 kilometres per hour, it has reached the time of the year when that figure goes up to 30 to 40 kmh.
Yesterday and on Wednesday, when this newspaper checked the National Environment Agency’s website, which lists a range of forecasts such as fair, cloudy and rain, there was only one outlook for all five districts and 45 town areas – windy.

1. Go Fly Kite
Yes Literally!
I have always admire those kites flying in the sky during the windy days some of the is so breath taking that you had to simply relax one corner at the park just to enjoy the sky with those flying kites.
I saw some uncles flying the kite and resting on the grass simply watching and enjoying a great weekend. It does bring back memories of the past…
A cheap and fun way to enjoy your holidays!
2. Buy A Good Bubble Machine Toy!
Bubbles in a windy day is VERY fun and if you haven’t tried any bubble making toy gun, you should try it now at a windy day.
The bubble will go far and wide amusing many on lookers with “ooohh” and “ahh” while the bubbles crosses roads and fly up towards the heaven!
Try it on a higher level to see greater spread of the bubbles! recommend at the roof level of Multilevel Car Parks.
3. Make A DIY WindMill For Fun!
There are many simple instructions found online to do a small wind mill just for fun or serious school projects to impress girls or teachers.
4. Jog Or Walk the Park!
Seriously great day to jog or walk in the park during a windy day especially great to walk your dog too as it’s not hot to do it in the day and not humid at night.
5. BUY Colorful Windmills!!
These windmills bring out the happiness of kids when you see a bunch of them spinning in the wind!

It does miracles to the emotions and if enjoying it with friends or family will be even better.

There are several places to climb up
- Bukit Timah Hill
