Table tennis with Potato + “Offline Love” + mum’s bday dinner
14/2/25 Fri: Did大光明修持法and化骨法this morning. And after I told Potato I’d have a craving for chilli sotong after watching an episode of “Whenever Possible” yesterday, he decided to stir-fry squid, cherry tomatoes, lady’s fingers and shimeiji shrooms in a tom yam paste he made~ very delicious! The old cucumber soup with carrots and tau kwa in pork bone soup was nice too. Happy Valentine’s day la haha! <3
16/2/25 Sun: Almost always much busier at night on working Sundays, so Potato cooked cabbage, tofu, cherry tomatoes, enoki shrooms and black pepper-marinated chicken in gochujang soup for me for dinner~ He also kindly wrote down to remind me to add in the chicken pieces and noodles when I am about to eat hehe.
17/2/25 Mon: Not bad I managed to cook meatless tom yum noodles with lentils, enoki shrooms, cabbage, tofu, lady’s fingers and hard-boiled egg for dinner despite it being a work day! Added a bit of sesame oil for the fragrance too~ *But damn my left eye still hurts from staring at the screen… must be “residual tiredness” from yesterday’s crazy work at night.*
18/2/25 Tues: Attended Aerial Yoga (beginner) class taught by Chloe. A basic class but the warm-ups were not as tiring as Jessie’s. *missed lying down like a cocoon in the hammock~*
19/2/25 Weds: Did TCM massage with HL this morning and she said I'm getting "heaty" soon and that my neck was very stiff this time... probably due to the stress from my new job as a subber.
21/2/25 Fri: Potato cooked the "leftovers": old cucumber and cabbage together with shrimps, carrots and boiled scallops for dinner. He used chicken drumstick for the soup base and I love it! We also finished the last two ajitamas~
22/2/25 Sat: After lyrics class, I headed to Jurong East Sports Centre to meet Potato for our two-hour table tennis session from 5 to 7pm. He was slightly late due to the pouring rain but we still had a good fun game between us.
Met Ian for dinner at the coffee shop nearby and he came over to ours for a chat at night.
23/2/25 Sun: Potato cooked Korean spicy tofu soup with minced pork collar meat and eggs for dinner! The pork meat's soy sauce marinate tasted stronger than gochujang, but after a while, it felt nice even eating on it's own without rice.
24/2/25 Mon: Teacher PL said the air-con in the studio was at 18 degrees Celcius, the lowest it could go but I still sweated quite a bit in deep stretch yoga class this morning! We spent some time doing splits, which got tiring after a while, albeit it was still a good class.
25/2/25 Tues: I think Victoria’s neck, back and shoulder opening class has been very helpful for me. After exercising for some years, I’ve come to learn that it might not be my lower back that’s stiff but my upper and mid back instead. Moves related to opening the upper back is challenging for me as always, but I hope to see improvement if I do this on a regular basis.
26/2/25 Weds: Cooked cold chicken udon for dinner! I used fresh udon this time and added bok choy and Potato’s leftover onions. *He said he would have microwaved the onions for 10 seconds or so to remove some of the spiciness.* So nice to eat this after a long time.
Finished watching 10 episodes of “Offline Love”.
The "new" concept here is "going retro": 10 participants dump their phones for 10 days and find love in the romantic city of Nice, France. Atsushi and Mimi looks a lot like puppy love together but good for them lol. I prefer Kanaka and Sho actually, even if the lady prefers to remain friends first in the end. Nanami and Kensuke worked out well too. Poor Tohko and Maho because their love for Yudai was one-sided, much as his was for Nanami's.
On a side note, Nice and the other cities were so pretty~ maybe can go there one day hehe.
Rating: 3.75/5
27/2/25 Thurs: Morning session of Barre-less Barre with Agnes was tiring~ she literally made us worked each and every core parts of the body and it was non-stop for each set!
