elusivekI've been very diligently running and exercising and stuff. Apart from the rainy and typhoon days that I had to take a break, every other day I went running after work.
Friday afternoon I figured there wasn't really much going on at work so I took the afternoon off and headed off to China for a quick manicure. I also got this cat-shaped mold thing for baking bread (bought it before on Taobao already, just showing it now). Gotta find a bread recipe to try it out.
On Saturday morning, I went to the pottery workshop to work on my cats and dogs again. I saw on IG some new ideas and I probably would want to try them out. Meanwhile I tried out that airbrush thing I bought. It was fun, but I guess the color I used was a little to light, so I couldn't see exactly if there's enough color/glaze on it haha. Let's put it in the kiln first and see what comes of it. The Boss lady of the place also came by. Apparently, the "supervisor" or the "invigilator" of the workshop has quit (or retired, I dunno the details), and they are now trying to think of how to do with August. The Boss lady said they want to keep the workshop open but not publicize it, so we people who know what we are doing in there can go on and work there over August, but they are not taking new people. In away.... I'm not surprised. Everyone seems to want to have a summer holiday so no one's doing the supervisory work. For me, as long as the doors are open, I'm only here to do my own stuff, won't touch others' stuff. If you trust me enough for that, then thanks, I'll keep coming.
Ugh, I was using the heat gun to dry out the glaze more quickly, and when I was packing it away (re-coiling the power line) I accidentally burnt myself.
I should probably ask the running group I'm in, but I'm a tad curious why the speed detected on my watch is different than that of the phone (and watch and phone are synced)
The run on Saturday was a miss, because I ran a little too early and the sun was still strong in my face. I was going to run 13km (around 8 miles). No problem, try again on Sunday. Funny thing was, we had a big family lunch as it was an aunt's birthday, and I heard my cousin-in-law say she has a friend that wanted a new cat but the rescues in town are a bit strict with the cat-proofing their home (need to install nets on their windows and such). Well what do you know, during my run that night, I had to cut it short again, because I'm the king of cats LOL.
Quick checked with cousin in law, friend says yes she wants the cat, so I picked it up and took it to the vet for an initial check, and voila. Tonight I'm bringing the cat to the friend.
He was making a little too much noise overnight so I had to set him free and he came to sleep next to me. He's almost my cat LOL. Nooooo we cannot have 5 cats at home. Even I know that's too many cats. And it's too early for me to turn into crazy cat lady. Not yet. Give it time......
