Post CB Phase 2 shenanigans


It's been a month since we went back to school, and from next week onwards, all students will be back in school. Just a short random post here. 


Made keto strawberry jam with very nice frozen berries from Redmart

Made a batch of these this morning. I made some blueberry ones a week ago and I actually liked blueberry better as those are thicker. Strawberry jam (keto version) is more watery so I added a lot of chia seeds to make it thicker. Not the first time I made these but the last time I did it was years ago.


P was actually craving for these


Mum gave us some salmon as we went over to celebrate Fathers' Day last sunday. We are actually in Phase 2 of post-CB period and only five visitors were allowed into the household but we kind of broke the rule as there were two more younger kids around. It was still nice to see the folks after months.

I finally see 55!


Just for the record, I achieved this weight a few weeks ago on 7th June. It's been super long since I see 55+kg on my weighing scale. I'm now 56+ ish but doing intermittent fasting and keto diet and my home workouts really helps to keep the weight down. I'm on my 56th day of working out with only 3 days break in between. Longest streak ever!

These are some 'ho liao' we've ordered from SHC group the past month. I've kind of stopped looking at their facebook live sales for now as it does take some effort to finish these seafood. It was fun and nice to try those once in a while.

Very nice clams with kelp noodles

Live lobsters!

Seriously the best oysters we tried in SG

Uni and big tub of mentaiko

Post CB back to school in Phase 1 (T3W1)

Honestly, it was hard to adapt going back to school again after almost two months of no normal teaching. I felt sleepy the first day I was back and had to take naps most of the afternoons. I managed to continue with Chloe Ting's workout streak (35 days and counting, only skipped 2 days in between) even though we could only do it together on zoom for two afternoons out of four.

I would say school life is the least hectic this year as we dont have CCAs for a term already, no overnight camps, no TIE and no workshops etc. I even managed to clear all my markings during the March hols and over HBL/May school holidays period. On the otherhand, it's sad as I should be on my flight to US at this moment, instead of just celebrating the fact that it's Friday. I've come to terms with no traveling and I only realised now I can stay at home for weeks without going out. Nevertheless, I still have some hopes that we will get to travel at the end of the year.

Very nice sunset on first day of school
