2/7/19 Tues: After a 10-day trip in South Korea, I was back in aerial class~ and it definitely took some time to get going again in aerial yoga. Great stretch for muscles in my legs as they were all sore from much walking overseas!
6/7/19 Sat: PotaTOHs met WX, Jere and their baby Z for dinner at Dumpling Darlings. Very much recommended for their dumpling platter and noodles~ We walked around for a bit (shopped at supermarket lol~) and had dessert at Chinatown Point. *Baby Z was close to one year old when we saw her! Much more hair now!*
9/7/19 Tues: Tiring night in aerial yoga class... did lots of core work!
13/7/19 Sat: After tuition with Jayden ended, I headed down to Shaw Lido to meet Potato for Spider Man: Far From Home, which we had free tickets to thanks to his insurance agent.
Spider Man met Mysterio, the supervillain in the show, at first thinking they were on the same side about destroying elemental monsters. It turned out that those "monsters" were nothing but 3D creations from advanced projector drones created by Mysterio and a team of disgruntled ex-Stark employees.
Well, the hero wins the war at the end of the day! I enjoyed the scenes where Spider Man fell into "illusion" created by Mysterio, pretty cool. *真伪有时候不好分辨。*

Potato treated me to dinner at En Sakaba at JEM, and then we window-shopped around IMM for mattresses. Saw a few economical buys at Max Coil and other shops, but we both prefer mattresses with springs in them.
14/7/19 Sun: Jess and I met early morning on Sunday for our hike to Bukit Timah Summit via Diary Farm Nature park trail. It was supposedly one of the "toughest" here as there were lots of steep stairs. I didn't expect us to make it to the top in an hour or so!?
There were indeed steep stairs, and yes I was still tired somewhat, but these were nothing compared to Hallasan for me now that I have conquered the highest mountain in Korea haha!
Two of us had lunch at Bukit Timah hawker centre, and then went to IMM where I bought my 28 inches American Tourister luggage ($192.85) for the upcoming Kyrgyzstan trip.
16/7/19 Tues: Tried some new poses and stretches in class tonight. I like how I can never get tired of exercising now~ plus it's fun to challenge myself!
18/7/19 Thurs: STC held Singapore Derby PPD at Bar Rouge at Swissotel this year. It's a night club, so the walls were all black, and it's pretty oddly-shaped inside too, so not exactly a good place for photos. Well, 16 horses vied for glory, and three days later, Sun Marshal upset the field by winning it for Australian trainer Lee Freedman and gave young Aussie jockey Joseph Azzopardi his first Group 1 win in Singapore!
The lunch buffet consisted of local laksa, western and Japanese sushi... not bad. It's obvious the Club has "up the budget" in trying to create the buzz and hype, but I don't think it has reached out to more than enough yet. *We need to create more awareness about racing.*
20/7/19 Sat: PotaTOHs visited Jurong Lake Gardens to chill and relax. There were lots of child and disabled people-friendly facilities in the play area. *Kids will love this place as they get the chance to learn,interact and play around nature here.* Cooling afternoon when we were there... maybe I can even consider bringing my laptop over to Fusion Spoon to work on my work-from-home days! There is also an ActiveSG centre and pool deep inside.
We walked over to a coffee shop in Taman Jurong for dinner. It seemed newly-renovated, and we were almost spoilt for choice with the variety we saw there. Potato ordered BBQ wings for us to share, and I had the油泼扯面 ($5) from the Chinese stall. It tasted better than dear's soup one.
23/7/19 Tues: Pretty satisfied tonight as there's a pretty shot of me in the air haha!
25/7/19 Thurs: Met XY, SS and MT for dinner at PS Café at Raffles City for XY's belated 29th birthday. I tried their tiger prawn aglio olio pasta but it didn't impress at all. However, what matters is always the company I have. The ladies had a great time updating each other about our recent trips overseas and family matters. *The butterscotch banana cake was too sweet haha!*
27/7/19 Sat: I recommended LL, Dexter, Clement, KW and their daughter Evelyn to Dumpling Darlings for lunch for LL's belated birthday. So glad that they all liked the food there. Dexter has very good knowledge for an 8YO kid! He knows a fair bit on current affairs: how France's flag colour came about, some dispute between New York and New Jersey, and even told us about the Republic of Molossia that is the smallest nation in the world with just 27 citizens~ We were impressed by this little boy. *If we have clever kids, then adults would have to keep up.*
30/7/19 Tues: Lots of work in the legs tonight, and till today, I find lizard post very tough. Maybe it's because my hip muscles are very tight?
Finished watching "보이스 2" and "보이스 3" some time ago. The two seasons are linked, with villain방제수appearing in both, and his appearance in the latter would bring out the main psychotic murderer Kaneki Masayuki/우종우.
강권주 (이하나) retains her role as Golden Time Team's Call Centre Chief. She is joined by new Golden Time Team Dispatch team leader도강우 (이진욱) and together, they cracked down on cases involving severed human body parts and a dark web on the net selling them.
Though the two super villains this time round were not as handsome as 모태구 (김재욱) in Season 1 (but even more insane~), I thought the gruesome-ness and cruel acts still irked me. Totally cannot relate to what this psychopaths are thinking about.
도강우 is a gifted police, but he has a dark past himself, causing trouble to the Golden Team throughout the course of investigation. *How I wish도강우and

《我们与恶的距离》is easily one of the best dramas I have enjoyed in recent years. 全剧以2010年代台湾的多起社会事件为题材，描述一起随机杀人案件发生后，加害者、加害者家属、被害人家属、辩护律师、精神疾病患者等各方人物的心境与纠葛，是台湾第一部以随机杀人为主题的电视剧，还涉及新闻媒体困境及精神分裂症等议题。
李晓明在戏院随机杀人造成九死21伤，网络先驱报创办人刘昭国（温升豪饰）和品味新闻台副总监宋乔安（贾静雯饰）的儿子天彦也是受害者之一。儿子的死间接影响了他们之间的感情，还产生了无法原谅凶手家属的心理。为避开社会眼光和唾弃，李晓明的父母硬要李晓明的妹妹李晓文离开他们，并且改名后才出外工作。她碰巧来到品味新闻台工作，之后顺着故事情节发展下去让观众看到了“媒体杀人”的事件。李晓文房东应思悦（曾沛慈饰）的弟弟应思聪（林哲熹饰）一心想拍摄新作品，便带着摄影器材闯入西海幼稚园，被误认为是挟持幼稚园孩童的精神病患，最后遭到警力压制逮捕，最后发现患上思觉失调症。
李晓明的辩护律师
还有一些其他的角色我没提，但《我》的社会现实性很强。针对媒体，我们生活在这个“键盘战士”的网络时代，随后指责或含血喷人说难不难，你我都将自己的意见强加在他人身上。要对这些杀人犯、精神失常者或他们的家属，大众又有多么慈悲的心肠，能够宽宏大量地原谅？《我》里的每个人物都有他的难处，要想象有多难，就假设自己是个别人物，你会怎么办？*随着年纪越大，我看戏就越来越容易感触良多，每次站在他们的角度去想都心酸。*
这部剧让我无法说出对错。小时候看戏时爸爸妈妈常说：“啊这个是‘好人’，那个是‘坏人’。”。。。他们在这里的身份都交错了。固然是有一些原因让世界变成这样子；让社会“生病”了，但我觉得不是“世界怎么了”，而是家家有难念的经，只是谁也难说真正的体谅。到头来，人都是自私的。我们都得自私。我欣赏
