23/9/22 Fri: After Qigong and Piloxing classes online, I had yummy tom yam ramen cooked by Potato for dinner~ there’s shrimp dumping, crabstick, bok choy, enoki shroom, ajitama and edamame to go along!
24/9/22 Sat: Long day of
work, but I got to try Potato’ new “Korean fried chicken-inspired” drumstick he
cooked in light soy sauce, sugar, mirin, honey, salt, chicken stock, pepper,chilli,
corn starch and topped with spring onion and a dash of sesame seed at the end.
We thought that it was a bit too salty, so he could work on lessening the chicken
stock and soy sauce next time.
26/9/22 Mon: Enjoyed my
Pilates reformer class this morning with Chisa. I reckon it’s conditioning
because though I haven’t attended class for two weeks, the body could still
handle the class. *Yay hard work do pay off!* PotaTOHs had kway chup for
lunch, drank peach white tea and ate sushi in the afternoon while we watched
“Little Women” because there was a 1-for-1 promotion at NTUC Finest’s sushi
counter that just opened last Sunday~Potato patted dry the
boneless chicken thigh and pan-fried them…still a lot of oil splatter lol. Then,
he stir-fried the yellow onion in oil before adding tomato paste, paprika
powder, chicken stock and flour to make the roux. Then, he cooked and simmered
the chicken pieces in the roux, before removing them and adding sour cream and
more chicken stock to the mixture…. there we have the Hungarian dish, chicken
paprikash!He also made avocado and
cucumber salad to go along with the dish and the taste paired well. MM and
Andre came at close to 8pm with our “birthday tarts” from Tai Cheong and
Pistachio ice-cream from Chocolate Origin!
27/9/22 Tues: We had our
“pretty skirt” moments while up in the air in aerial yoga class haha!
Finished watching a short
six-episode Korean experimental variety show《각자의 본능대로》（Between Love and Friendship）, where four male friends and four female friends lived together under one roof.Choose your friend or choose love. KunUk and Min were a
very cute couple, while the love triangle between Yena, Seok Hyeon, Ji Yu and
Yong Hyun got intense at time. I guess it’s slightly different compared to
other experimental dating shows when you have strangers living together. This
makes things more complex when it’s between your good friend and the one you
like.

28/9/22 Weds: Cooked ramen
with mushroom and pork dumpling, napa cabbage, carrot, yellow onion, red
chilli, enoki shroom, egg and spring onion in chicken stock, salt and light soy
sauce. Me, being the greedy me, added too much soup and veggies, hence the
mixture was already near it’s brim without adding the ramen and dumpling yet!
*忘记大白菜会“出水”啦！* Still, I’m happy with the overall
taste!
29/9/22 Thurs: *The more
I hear, the more I empathise with Tracy. Sounded like the HR division is a mess
and incompetent. I can’t trust them when it comes to fairness of staff welfare.*
Had nice sweet corn, carrot and onion soup, and stir-fried broccoli with
red capsicum that Potato cooked for our meatless dinner tonight.
30/9/22 Fri: Last-minute
decision but I felt like having something similar to a fishhead steamboat, so
PotaTOHs invited Fran over to join us for a hotpot dinner after my Qigong and Piloxing
class today. We cooked mainly pork belly, fish and napa cabbage in mushroom
broth… got better and better later into the night! Fran bought us some
chocolate coronet as dessert too.1/10/22 Sat: The Mio party
platter for 2-3pax ($160+) I ordered as
birthday lunch for us arrived before noon! I enjoyed the nori taco a lot,
especially the one with soft shell crab hehe. The sashimi were and the pasta
were nice too. The prawn breaded with almond was good at first, but we thought
one for each of us was enough.
Joan and Galvin reached
first in the afternoon, so the four of us played “Robin Hood” game from the new
“Unlock” game series they bought. It was fun! Mervyn, SD, Josh and Tiff joined us
later. All of us played the other two games as well. *The strawberry
shortcake from Four Leaves is good as usual!* 2/10/22 Sun: *Damn the
ache near my left shoulder blade is acting up again since late afternoon
yesterday!* Potato cooked napa cabbage soup with carrot and red date in
pork bone soup and also salmon cube marinated in teriyaki sauce and paprika
powder… not bad!
Watched F1 Grand Prix at
night, albeit not paying attention besides the start and finish lol, while
Potato attended his大伯’s wake
with my in-laws after dinner.
3/10/22 Mon: *MIL tested
positive for COVID-19, so we reckon FIL should be too since he passed on the
coughing to her recently.* Good reformer workout and I’m glad I did not
further aggravate the pain near my left shoulder blade… think the massage
Potato does for me nightly helped! 😊
Cooked broccoli (must soak
longer in water next time because I saw the green worms yikes~), shimeiji
shroom, seaweed, egg (aiyoh I need to boil them for longer to reach the
hard-boiled state) with udon in white miso soup, which was supposed to be less
salty. *It was salty but yet not flavourful enough… maybe the usual miso
paste would have made the overall taste better.*
4/10/22 Tues: *我是该正视问题的。If the ringing
in my left ear persists for one or two more weeks, then off to the ENT I go.* I was stuck with one pose in aerial yoga… had
difficulty swinging my right leg in for the hooking… shall try harder next
time!
6/10/22 Thurs: Was waiting
for Steven for an interview and I played a bit with their stable cat, Tom… he’s
very affectionate haha. Came home and saw my first pair of earrings from
whynotclay! Very expensive but pretty and unique pair~ Tried the green tea soba
we bought from Daiso in soup with smoked duck breast meat and Potato stir-fried
lady’s finger with carrot and shimeiji mushroom to go along. *rRandom
tThought: Kyushu only or do I want to include a trip to Kyoto too?*
