7/7/23 Fri: Had lunch with Laifaba with Mike. We both tried their roast pork ($16.90 for two) for the first time but I find it only so-so. Don’t know why but maybe I felt a bit “jelak” from eating too much roasted pork and I was very lethargic from work today, so I didn’t feel like eating for dinner and only had porridge. *Felt difficulty breathing at times at night and especially when I was about to fall asleep. Also felt thirsty and I wonder if all that had to do with the heavy menses on the second day of my period.*
8/7/23 Sat: Came home to
chicken stew cooked by Potato for dinner~ nice!
9/7/23 Sun: Potato drove us
to Culture Spoon, a Thai-concept kitchen at Great World City area for lunch. *Was
so hungry I could feel my hands and legs go numb in the car… think all my
instant oat ‘digested’ in the class with Natasha haiz.* We ordered the set
for two which were two mains, crabmeat fried rice and phad thai, as well as
grilled pork neck and vegetable spring rolls. *I had to order Thai milk tea
to give myself some sugar too.* I enjoyed the crabmeat fried rice, pork
neck and spring rolls, but phad thai can get “jelak” for me after a while.
Returned the car at Ian’s
place and we headed home. Ben came over to our place last minute so we HTHT-ed
and had homecooked dinner by Potato. We ate teriyaki salmon, stir-fried celery
with black fungus and lotus root and carrot soup~ delicious! Ben also bought a
mango tart and some bread over from Chateraise for dessert.
10/7/23 Mon: Good reformer
workout with Chisa this morning. I cooked meatless ramen for dinner for us with
black fungus, egg, dumpling, chye sim, red onion, seaweed and carrot in chicken
stock~ simple but not bad. *Also settled my Taobao loots but the
“excitement” over material stuff, for me, stops once I got my hands on them
lol. Obviously I’m someone who would gain more satisfaction from spending on
experiences.*
Quite enjoyed how the whole suspense built up towards the reveal and murder of CY. Many ‘big shots’ in this drama as well. It’s been a while since there’s a drama that I’m keen to keep on watching.
Rating: 4/5
11/7/23 Tues: Enjoyed the
chilli stingray dinner mum cooked for us hehe~ Did a flow in aerial yoga
tonight and I’m glad I did them well.
13/7/23 Thurs: *Disappointed with the decision from the management. They don’t see that it’s “double standard” what they’re doing and racing has lost integrity in this sense. They’ve seemed to lost the plot terribly nowadays haiz.*
So tired to even talk during
my背部负压session lol but I think the
way EQ placed the cups this time was different from the last… hmm. Still, I
very much enjoyed my prawn and scallop marinara spaghetti Potato cooked for
dinner!

15/7/23 Sat: *My news
page is becoming a joke soon…* Potato said it’s going to be a “simple
simple” dinner tonight and I still came home to complete and proper dishes
hehe~ black pepper teriyaki chicken, Chinese spinach with carrot and sunny
side-up!
17/7/23 Mon: Joined boxing
cardio in the morning with coach Gerald. The pace and moves were easier
compared to my usual workouts and it was more focused on resistance cardio
training according to him.
18/7/23 Tues: Met Mike and
ex-trainer Sonny for lunch at Amirul’s Nasi Padang stall in Woodlands. We were
all saddened and disappointed by the government’s decision to close STC of
course.
Did a new flow in aerial
yoga class tonight and I nailed it on my first attempt yay!
22/7/23 Sat: Potato headed
out to return his graduation robes and then lunch at Ian’s while PY and I had lunch at Blk 150+ before we sat down to discuss about our Hanoi trip in
September.
Potato, Ian and Cherlyn
arrived at ours at 4+pm, tried some Mauritius rum and we drove over to Laifaba
for dinner. Had my usual char siew noodle and we also tried the prawn paste
chicken wing… not bad, albeit pricier than the usual zichar.
24/7/23 Mon: Did boxing cardio class in the morning and it was more tiring today because of non-stop
boxing moves but I agreed with what coach Gerald said about “finding something
you love and do it for the rest of your life”. As I grow older and see and hear
more of stories of people around me about their “boredom” in life, I know one
has to find something you’re passionate about and do it for life, if possible. Right
now, I have a few like exercising in general, meditation and writing. *I’d
love to practise them for the rest of my life, but I’d have to take care of my
body and mind along the way so my interests can most likely sustain.*
Took some time and effort to
make meatless bibimbap for us for dinner~ brown shimeiji shroom, dumpling,
carrot, imperfect sunny side-up, lentil and soy beansprout with mixed grain
rice.
Learned a bit about freediving through this documentary and it is such a dangerous sport, so much so it claimed the life of safety diver, Stephen Keenan. The documentary also featured his girlfriend and free diver world record holder Alessia Zecchini.

25/7/23 Tues: Took bus 188
to NUS to meet YB for her 35th birthday buffet lunch ($58.90 for two
pax) at Chilli Padi Tok Panjang. The Peranakan food was not bad overall, though
I’d prefer them to be warmer. There were also free flow fruit punch, tea,
coffee and plain water.
Did a flow in aerial yoga
class tonight and it was painful at times but we did it!
26/7/23 Weds: Went for my
usual scaling and polishing appointment at Koh Dental and Dr Lee decided to do
a filling near my implant to close up the gap so as to reduce the amount of
food that gets stuck there.
27/7/23 Thurs: Potato used up the rest of the spinach and carrot, as well as some of the brown shimeiji mushroom and minced meat to cook tomato-sauced spaghetti for dinner. So yummy!
28/7/23 Fri: Did八爪and头部拨筋with Shirlyn and I signed up for a trial session of their massage for womb, lymph nodes, breast and stomach ($68). PotaTOHs headed to Decathlon at Joo Koon to buy a bike, the bike stand and bell for me and also new hiking shoes. *Thanks for buying them Potato!* Randomly craved for bingsu dessert at Snow Angels at Le Quest so we ate mango bingsu ($16.90) there… I liked the small “popping pearls” and nata de coco jellies hidden underneath!
29/7/23 Sat: Was the first
among YQ, MT and YJ to arrive at Aurora’s one-year-old birthday party at The
Happi Loft. The weather was very hot and the venue was packed with guests… the
air-con was not strong enough either. I managed to find a place to sit down for
my buffet lunch before YJ, MT and her two sons and YQ arrived later. *So not
easy for MT to handle two naughty boys on her own!* Took a group photo with
SS, John, Aurora and the ladies!
