post sch activity+1st day of training

so after supposting li jia wei in the olympics(the semi's match with the koreans..sg won them and later on got silver..) celest and i heard the bbq spirit from small eat street(小吃街) at 南京西路 calling out to us.. so to appease the bbq spirit's request to eat bbq food, we set off to 南京西路, even in the rain...

while trying to hasten our visit to 南京西路 to appease the bbq spirit..i forgot my umbrella..lucky celest brought her's..if nt i become 落汤鸡..anw..1st..went to make a quick visit to coco to get our appetiser--pudding milk tea..

pic of the delicious pudding milk tea..again..celest's hand is nt part of the drink..

and then..we made our way to the holy bbq store..nt even the rain could stop us! then again..there was a long queue of bbq devouts waiting to try out their food... celest and i found a seat in the small corner jus behind the bbq store..ordered the chicken 肉串(which isnt tt nice compared to the mutton satay i tried 1 week earlier), the usual scallop and the oysters..then..we ordered smth more, the 香辣小龙虾..

usual satay, scallop, oysters...

香辣小龙虾(before)

香辣小龙虾(after the feeding frenzy)

so after eating the bbq stuff and the 香辣小龙虾, the bbq spirits were appeased..and in reward..they show us the way to another gd food...the..er, em, ah..cant-rmb-whats-the-name-but-very-nice-but-abit-oily-stuff...

wanted to tried pork filling for those cant-rmb-whats-the-name-but-very-nice-but-abit-oily-stuff but end up sold out...so we had another prawn feasting...

and so onto sunday where we had 2x3hr lessons..oh yea..2x3hr lessons, the Z monster attacks to all students then were strong and relentless...1st we had the 中国时代历史 abt the 鸦片(opium)战争..and well..its as boring as it looks..seriously..esp with a boring teacher...oh yea..doesnt help at all..and Z monsters thrive in those conditions..celest succumbed to the Z monster early, various other student fell prey..soon after, there was only 1 brave hero called 'william-the china man' fighting the Z monsters bravely with honour..alas! he soon fell to the them as well..

after that..it was time for lunch! went outside jiao tong uni to this hk food restaurant.. tried the 油鸡汤面..

and some cool looking dian xing called chicken abalone pie..

after a really full lunch, headed back to jiao tong uni to have our 2nd 3hr lesson called the 交流文化..well..its..ok la..nt as bad as the 1st lesson on the opium war..but still..Z monster were lurking ard.. as usual, celest v easily got defeated by the Z monsters, then only sparring match tkd doesnt really help her in...

after the交流文化, celest and i found sushi tei!(with help from my bro 3801km away for searched the internet for 徐家汇's sushi tei and giving us the number..)

really cheap sashimi..ard like 15rmb if i didnt rmb wrongly..

after the really filling dinner...celest and i went to jiao tong uni for our 3rd lesson of the day..tkd!! hahahaha....well..ill clear some misconception abt tkd..

1)no..we dun really use slams/punches..we use kicks

2) there is no girls with 2 buns on their head..kicking and shouting DING DANG KICK(she actually screams at the top of her lungs 'spinning bird kick' in the game)or lightning kicks ala chun li...they jus do a normal shout b4 they kick( no pua shueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ala junhong from anyone too though).. btw chun li practises wu shu if im nt wrong..haha

so yea..training commenced..and....warm up wise..it was the same as back in ntu tkd! hahaha...er like running ard the (very small) indoor court and then doing all the running tuck jump, running side split blabla..haha..then came..jumping side kicks..which ive nv done b4. then the green belts/blue belt b4 me executed a perfect side kick..celest as usual does everything perfect..so its my turn...

i ran, accerlerating at a speed of 0.5m/s^2

then i was nearing the target..sensing i was at the optimum dist from the target, i jumped...

then, i saw the target..focusing on it..my mind told me to strike!

finally..i executed a kick.....a jumping chuiness............=(

oh yea..my jumping side kick turned out to be well..jumping chuiness.. shld practise more next time..then can show off (and at the same time turn some girl's eyes into heart shapes...) at ntu tkd..hehee... of cuz celest as usual does a expert jumping side kick tt stuns everyone and worthy of her 'goddess' title..

then after tt..did some kicks for ard 10mins or so..self trainig kinda stuff..then watch some brown tip guy do grading..grading in china is once per mth..and..its really hard..includes lots of kicks,splits,jumping side kick,pattern, knuckle push ups and so on..hahaha..fierce..and this blue belt guy..deserves his pass..seriously..he's zai enough..

after training..went to this nearby store for some cold coke!! best stuff ive had in a while! hehe
