What a day!
Argued, so I was kind of glad to leave for Holland V! Tired of the agitation, shouting etc...seriously, give me a break.
Went to Cold Storage but couldn't find the chocolate & almond meal! Made my way to Phoon Huat instead, and bought the almond meal. Stepped into Shermay's cooking school, and remembered Valrhona choc! Bought a pack, yay! Quality stuff, oh well, so the price was kinda steep for a 250g pack. Will be discussing more about this choc on the next post! Pity that I didn't ask to sample before making my purchase because I made a grand entrance at the doorway while getting in =S
Took the wrong train back, of all things. Reached home at 6.30pm! Rushed dinner, then off to NJD. Bleh, nobody returned my greeting when I said hi on reaching the dojo XC Awkwardddd.
Did warm ups for the class today! Could barely shout as my throat was dry like sandpaper. Unsure of a few things during class(as a temp IC, and no, not the warm ups!), so I guess I still have a long way to go! Had a mini demo on the ninja push, and still didn't get it right, somehow =( Pushed somewhat wrongly argh.
Had 1st sparring today! Wore the safety vest w/GM's help, and of all things my opponent was YS! Plenty nervous, so I blanked out and didn't know what to do. Both of us froze for a while, then I started with a so-called turning kick. Pity that we weren't auditioning for a comedy series, since both of us did the knee kick at the same time! No idea why sir(i think) made a reference to muay thai when that happened. YY became my next opponent, and I didn't block some kicks on time =( Quite afraid of hurting my wrists since they are kind of thin. Maybe I should depend more on my legs! Then 2(YS & I) vs 1(YY), and I think I managed to get a hit. Next were the guys, and they actually kicked heads =S The rounds were stopped when they were getting too aggressive. I was reminded of the arcade game, King of Fighters!
Subsequent sparrings had their own funny moments, and I left the class with a small bruise on my left arm and a fairly huge one on my right leg! Not bad, I suppose, but I should be faster in the future! Wasn't paying attention when A asked me to help YS to untie the vest =S I should reflect after and not during class haha!
Dinner was okay, apart from the strange atmosphere at the table. Got home pretty late, like about 11.30pm!
Aww you're so cute!!
