Q-Day 11

Sunday. An important event happened today: swab test. My appointment was at 10:15, I was already back in the room at 10:12… Singaporean efficiency!! The test was a bit uncomfortable, you have just the impression that they tickle your brain; but I already forgot the feeling, so that’s fine finally. “Escorted” all the way to the testing room, straight and clear orders, physical distancing, everybody with masks of course – if not complete PPE, smooth and fast actions. Here I am already, keeping in memory the small amount of real sight exchanged on my way…

It was a grey day, not storming very much, no sun at all, big grey clouds… not a great Sunday. I continue my routine, taking a bit more time today selecting the right music on the workout schedule and working only a little bit. We are Sunday after all! And finally the clouds went out to leave the space for the moon in a perfect croissant tonight.

But I begin seriously to crave for my normal dishes: big salads, raw and fresh or steamed vegetables, spicy food, grains and seeds, basil, garlic, fresh onions, well…. less carbs, no sauce, heum, another kitchen overall. In case it wasn’t clear, I do not choose what I want to eat, food is provided 3 times a day anyways and most of the time it is cold once it has reached my room. I could have said that I was vegetarian, but I was scared to get tofu at all meals, and it is not my favorite food! I can also order from outside, but I am not very much into ordering food… So my diet has been to eat about half of what they provide, sometimes nothing at all from that meal because I eat leftovers, or fruits and bread with the cheese I received from the family at the beginning of the quarantine. I don’t eat breakfast as I am a big fan of intermittent fasting (16/8, I shall have told you long ago!), so I keep things in the fridge for another time. And for today, I still had the salad that I ordered from the restaurant yesterday evening. Yeah!

Menu provided: Breakfast: Hamburger (bread, cheese, eggs omelet and a piece of meat – probably half beef half pork), Ketchup, rösties, green salad, oil and vinegar, apple fruit and orange juice. Lunch: Heavy sticky soup with cabbage, rice noodle with chicken breast and portobello mushrooms, Kaylan and beech mushrooms in sticky sauce, Ritz cheese and salt crackers, an orange fruit. Dinner: Soup with lotus root and red dates, chicken breast in yellow sauce, shrimps and squid with broccoli and cauliflower, white rice, and maccha on coconut shavings.
