Badminton w Potato + unlimited package @ Paradigm Wellness + ComCare VO recording + 《童话故事下集》+ "Exchange: Another Beginning"

1/3/25 Sat: XH analysed our lyrics for the KTV love song’s assignments in class. Oh well, I thought I did quite well but the things she pointed out made sense and I do know that “disconnect” in some lines but just could not let them flow that well while writing. Anyway, time to improve further on it! *It’s also re-writing and editing in lyrics, but a different kind of fun for me.*

Had a one-hour game of badminton match with Potato at Dazhong Primary School. *Their hall is at level 5 sia!* We swopped to left hands halfway through the matches but he gave up very quickly keke~ and we realised the use of my left hand was quite good too lol!

3/3/25 Mon: Began my one-month unlimited class package ($148) at Paradigm Wellness this morning with Yvonne’s restorative yoga class. I had difficulty with holding my breath for 10 seconds each time doing the alternative nostrils’ breathing at the start of the class. Then, we did some simple stretches. It was a calm and relaxing class.

Potato cooked meatless for dinner tonight! He used cherry tomatoes and tomato sauce to cook the rice. It turned out a bit sour but could be a bit more sweet. The sweet corn, potato and carrot soup was very sweet and nice!

4/3/25 Tues: Did stretch yoga with Eka this morning. It was even slower than yesterday’s and we held some poses for minutes. I really felt like I was falling asleep lol.

5/3/25 Weds: Went for functional yoga with Yvonne this morning. I think I liked this class most so far. The “tea cup” flow movement with the thick block was a bit challenging but so good for my tight shoulders and upper back. I could feel they were looser after doing like 10 times on each side.

Potato cooked scallops and shrimps with cherry tomatoes, onions and butterhead lettuce rosti for dinner! The butter tasted so good~

6/3/25 Thurs: Did Pilates on the mat with Gary this morning. It was not too difficult but I was slightly late due to rain and morning traffic.

Headed to Greenroom Suite for my VO recording for MSF’s ComCare explainer video in the afternoon. Met Toni the sound engineer and Chris. Chris gave a brief direction of the reading but honestly… all in a blur for me haha~ my idea of the pace and tonality was all from the sample video they sent me earlier. *Toni helped me take photos during the break hehe~* 

Besides speaking fast, I also have the tendency to sound more serious and firm, so he reminded me a few times to be gentler and slower haha. It was a wrap in 1.5 hours and overall, a good job! Can’t wait to hear it when it’s out!

7/3/25 Fri: Had morning yoga with Ice Jeamsakul. It’s essentially hatha and vinyasa yoga combined. Went through a bit of sun salutation and warrior poses before the balancing moon pose.

Cook wafu spaghetti with pork belly slices, shimeiji shrooms and butterhead lettuce for dinner tonight~ As yummy as before but a reminder to myself to leave butterhead lettuce raw because it tasted just like any lettuce once cooked.

8/3/25 Sat: Potato cooked the mushroom soup with black fungus, radish and chicken leg, inspired by his school canteen auntie haha~ tasted quite nice! Much as I loved shrooms, my bias is still the tom yam sotong, prawns and lady’s fingers dish~

9/3/25 Sun: A bowl of heartwarming miso butter ramen with minced pork meat, radish, black fungus, sweet corn and edamame cooked by Potato tonight! The minced meat was well seasoned~

10/3/25 Mon: Had a good deep stretch session in Yvonne’s restorative yoga class this morning. 

11/3/25 Tues: Did some stretches in Eka’s stretch yoga class and we held the poses for minutes as usual. Cooked my own lunch with lady’s fingers, cabbage pork dumplings, black fungus, egg and noodles… not bad.

PotaTOHs finished watching《童话故事下集》together!

好喜欢这部家庭喜剧！*一开始看到片名我很认真地想过这部戏剧是不是有“上集”嘞lol!* 探讨我们这个年纪刚结婚的人的一些问题，但也很好笑。柯佳嬿和刘以豪都很适合他们的角色，尤其刘以豪十足"mama's boy"的角色太适合他演了。曾敬骅也是我喜欢的年轻演员，那个暖男药师的角色真的太“撩”已婚妇女了lol~

和老公一起看太赞了！

12/3/25 Weds: Had another good functional yoga class with Yvonne this morning… sweated a bit!

Used up the remaining black fungus and lady’s fingers in the fridge. Stir-fried them with the dried mushrooms I soaked for eight hours since this morning. The teriyaki chicken marinate was not as flavourful as I expected it to be though.

13/3/25 Thurs: Mat Pilates with Gary this morning was a nice workout again. Had dinner at parents’ tonight and dad said his seven sessions of $190-massages at Woodlands did not work well for his painful right knee so he stopped going to them. It’s been some years, so I suggest he should go see a doctor to find out the real underlying cause.

Finished watching "Exchange: Another Beginning" tonight. Short eight episodes where the 10 participants from Season one to three of "Transit Love" spent a week together in Jeju.

I was a bit surprised Hye Im chose Gyu Min in the end because I thought she liked Min Jae all along! Gyu Min and Hye Im has this awkward silence when they are together although I have to say Gyu Min's quite good-looking. Hye Im looks like a very nice girl and let's hope they end up well together after the show. Poor Min Jae... I knew he treated Ji yeon like a younger sister because of the 10-year age gap but the two look good together. Na Eon and Hwi Hyun looks a good match too. 

Still think this spin-off is a bit too short for them to understand one another better.

Rating: 3.5/5

14/3/25 Fri: Was on my way to flow and morning Yoga and saw six, seven roosters and one hen at the bus stop lol. They were all quietly walking behind the hen haha.

Nice two hours spent stretching in Ice’s classes this morning. I think stretches are really beneficial, especially for my tight and achy left hip.

Potato cooked vongole ala spaghetti for dinner~ one of our favourites!
