tkd grading

haizzz...didn't manage 2 get a double tis time....but our instructor said we did pretty well & e person who got a double was cos o her age...she was almost twice my age...anyway, gd in a sense cos then all e 3 o us wld b o e same belt then we can do e pattern 2gather again! not 2 much o a disappointment since i've oredi got a plesant surprise fr my BS3 exam...


ytd's training had 2 do rolling. dun tink it's easy ok! it's not!!! even e black belt pple dun know e proper techniques 4 rolling!!! e amazing killer machine in our club, dizon, demonstrated e technique, & he was really gd at it!!! basically u've 2 roll over w/o ur head touching e grd. once u've master tt, then u'll need 2 jump over barriers, u know like all those jackie chan movies?? very difficult 2 put all these actions into words, but a pity last nite's training was a bit short so e junior belts, aka me & 3 others, only managed 2 practise on our left roll....now my left thigh a bit aching...i'm very clumsy & my roll keep gg side-ways...haizzz, i beta go home & practise more!!!

actually 1ed 2 go 4 extra tkd class...cos there's n extra class on fri which involve more sparring...but i've yet 2 learn more basic techniques 1st....sparring shld b quite fun! but those black belts in our club, super scary when they spar, like 1 2 kill e opponent like tt!!! so scary!!!

we r having a potluck again...next wed, partly cos 2 celebrate e person who got double & cos she's gg 2 philippines & staying there 4 gd....dun know wat 2 bring....nikki suggested e orange jelly....i've made tt like ultimate times! i made tt 4 my sign lang class potluck 2.....c how la...cos i really have no flair in cooking....any suggestion as 2 wat 2 make???

4 those who r interested 2 know how 2 make e orange jelly:

1st cut oranges in half, squeeze out the juice, then scoop out all e flesh/pulp. b careful not 2 spoilt e orange skin. so now u've e mould 4 e orange jelly.

2nd make jelly as e package suggest instead o using plain water substitute wif orange juice. i use konnyaku powder 4 e jelly, & i find fruit-tree fresh orange juice + fresh orange juice make e best orange jelly!

3rd pour e jelly solution into e orange skin mould & let it cool & set. refrigerate & then cut it when u 1 2 serve.

Disadvantage o making tis jelly is tt u cannot make it 2 much in advance else the jelly will become a bit bitter cos o e orange skin.

Tip: 2 make e jelly even more fragrant, add a bit o orange zest, it smells absolutely wonderful! & also remember 2 add e pulp tt u get fr squeezing e oranges!!! & o cos pls remove all e seeds & veins & such!

GREAT! actually, the orange jelly is really good. very refreshing. I really liked it then. Maybe i'd try to make that soon, or teach that to my class (cos they learn cooking too).

Ok, I know i STILL owe you my tiramisu recipe. haha... I'd try email u in awhile. We should really do a potluck soon too. I hear Snow can cook mean chickie wings. *wink
