Inferno + YB's belated 31st bday brunch @ Princess Terrace Cafe + dinner with Ben & Jess @ Sushi-Tei + Pound + Colin's housewarming + Lecture on injury in thoroughbred horses + 我们不能是朋友
Interesting topic. The plague that Zobrist created is revealed to be a vector virus that randomly activates to employ DNA modification to cause sterility in one third of humans, thereby reducing population growth to a more stable level. Seems like a "humane" way to deal with overpopulation? But who is willing to be the sacrifice?

Been back from Kyrgyzstan on August 15 (thursday) and
Potato came over to meet me for dinner on sat. Seemed like the food poisoning incident from overseas continued back at home as I have had loose stools for another week or so. *Definitely a different experience from other overseas trip I've had thus far, where I got to know myself a little bit better, but no regrets despite being eventful, and that we were generally not suited to the living conditions there.*
20/8/19 Tues: Return to aerial class after two weeks' of break! Did some new moves. It's a challenge!
24/8/19 Sat: Met YB for her belated 31st bday brunch at Princess Terrace café at Copthorne King's hotel. Poor girl's got a bit of flu the day before our meet-up, and so she didn't really eat much of the Penang food available there. I found the buffet so-so. After that, we walked over to Tan Boon Liat building and window-shopped for a while in some of the shops she'd recommended. *Yay! We both wore our Yatay shoes out! What a match~*
26/8/19 Mon: Had lunch with Potato at Malaysia Boleh after his swim. As it was an early lunch, he bought me some sushi in case I'd go hungry in the afternoon hehe.
27/8/19 Tues: Did one of my least favourite pose, lizard pose tonight haha~ much a torture as always. I'm happy that I get to work most parts of the body every time in class, and to push myself just that little bit. It might not be obvious, but I do feel the improvement in myself.
28/8/19 Weds: Met Jess and ben for dinner at Jem's Sushi-Tei. Good food and company that night. Shared our Kyrgyzstan trip experience with Ben, and also a little on our future plans. *They say that friendships with secondary school friends are the ones that can last for life. I think I do believe!*
29/8/19 Thurs: It's the start of a new round of Pound session with Yvonne. *Omg she did remember me as the student from two months ago!* I had Jess joined me this time, and there were new tracks to which I was not used to either, especially one where we had to keep our legs lifted to engage in core work. There was a new plump girl in class, but maybe she hasn't exercised in a long time, hence she became breathless after a few songs. Luckily, Yvonne attended to her with sweets before she finally recovered.31/8/19 Sat: Attended Colin’s housewarming at his new jumbo flat opposite Republic Polytechnic. Saw Richard (trackrider for Burridge), his wife and daughter there too, as well as some owners. 193 square metres is huge man! Oh, Colin has a pretty second daughter too, who's currently in Primary 3. *The amount of tuitions his kids have on weekends... sounds stressful huh?*
1/9/19 Sun: Went down to Esplanade to catch a Filipino musical performance by Potato's professor in NIE and his students. I actually think that the music's calming and soothing. Then, we met MM and Andre at Khatib and cabbed over to Himawari restaurant at Orchid Country Club for our dinner with my in-laws. MIL suggested Japanese for dinner as it was MM and Andre's second wedding anniversary on Monday! The set I ordered with sashimi don, tempura and cold soba ($38) was yummy but expensive la. *Thanks to FIL who footed the bill again!* Looks like everyone enjoyed their meals!
3/9/19 Tues: Diana let us tried Aerial Flow in class tonight. She even recorded a video for us. It was not easy but definitely fun.

4/9/19 Weds: Professor Chris Whitton, head of Equine Centre in Melbourne Veterinary School and Dr Peta Hitchens, an equine Veterinary Epidemiologist gave a talk on risk factors for injury in thoroughbred racehorses and how to prevent them to the trainers and management of the Club. Good learning for me as I got to know that bone fatigue over time is really bad for a racehorse. But, despite a recommended six to eight weeks' of rest between races for the bones to "self-repair", the suggestion and results are still on a per-case basis, and we have to rely on professional horsemen's experience to gauge the trainings and reduce the intensity as and when they think the horses need more rest, so as to reduce injuries in races. *尽管有些马主养马、赛马是出于投资赚钱的角度，但马儿不能只是赚钱的机器啊。它是活生生的动物，绝对需要人们去呵护关切的。挑了好素质的马，不忘照顾好它，又挑对比赛，还怕它没表现吗？*
看完“我们不能是朋友”了！
不能说这部剧是鼓励情侣出轨啦，我觉得它是教我们要正视问题。那样一切才不会一拖再拖，毕竟没多少青春可以浪费啊。当然，褚克桓和周惟惟各自和另一半之间也都存在很大的问题，那新的恋情才有机会趁虚而入，或说“萌芽”啊。
反倒周惟惟那个”无性不欢“的好朋友韩可菲（袁艾菲饰）倒是直爽又蛮有义气的，会力挺好姐妹。
刘以豪长得蛮孩子气的，不像30多岁的演员，笑起来有酒窝，很阳光。演霸道的褚克桓他似模似样啦，但真人好像还是比较害羞的。郭雪芙好像比他还大胆呢lol！
