Had supper last night and had supper just now. VERY bad. I wonder whether my one combat class today is able to contra the fat produced...
Planned to bring MasterChef and TLA to the new launch at Axis today. (yesterday since this is already after midnight). Farid has gotten them the free passes to the classes since she was at Axis on Thursday night. TLA and I was all ready for the body jam, TLA being the body jam addict in making was looking forward to that. (though she really hesitated whether to go gym at all since she needed to study for her exam on Monday, and her PMR in 3 weeks' time).
MasterChef was at uni today (ya, still working 5 and half day week), planned to just sign in and head home. However, she had a last minute meeting and didn't make it back on time for us to leave house for the gym, for body jam. Meanwhile, I told TLA that we can always go for the later class, body combat. But after some "reasoning" with me, apparently she didn't want to do combat. Fine. I thought, lets all not go anywhere then. I was really cranky by then, but thought better of loosing my temper for such small matter. Anyways, I did, at the end, being "forced" to leave the house for combat. Also, I thought it would be easier for me to explain the no-show of our guests. (Farid, if you are reading this, I'm so sorry for all the trouble and at the end tak jadi. Some more got you distracted from class trying to look out for us, so sorry!)
I arrived quite early since the traffic was smooth. Some of the regular combaters were already gathering around waiting for the class, some were in the class as jammers then. Particularly spotted Farid, Diha and PiC enjoying themselves immensely in this really hyper track. Then little bro suddenly materialized as well beside me, we chatted for a while and he was then behind the class registration counter.
I had a mixture of hate and love towards this new combat release. As I felt earlier, during the sort of "preview" by Renee some time before this launch, I like especially the so called recovery track with the double back kick. Fast and furious. Everyone got into a really cheery mood when the Girlfriend song were blasted through the sound system, a song I got dedicated through Facebook from Ladynina the other day. Quite a fun track, but the jumping part, I felt, did not do good to my knees.
My memoir of the class is slipping away, I couldn't recall much about how I felt towards the other tracks... Erm... I remember being tightly squeezed and forced to the back and in between members during the evasive side kicks. I gave up half of my side kicks so I don't "injure" Farid who's just beside me, while tried hard also to avoid being "injured" by the girl closely in front of me. One of the tracks were especially difficult to figure the beats out, you either do perfectly if you can catch the rhythm or loose it all if you miss.
The tricep press combo reminded me of Trainer's classes when I first join gym. I remember getting confused when he first demonstrated that tricep combo in one of my first combat classes with him. I really missed Trainer's combat class, too bad he doesn't plan to teach again no matter how we tried to persuade him. Anyways, love the conditioning track but find the cool down track not "dramatic" enough, not much, or was there any, kata to end the combat class "in style".
The instructors launching the class was an explosive pair, loads of humorous episodes and impressive moves demos which sent the class soaring with cheers. Master C was adorned in, I thought, a very "hip" look today with a sleeveless hooded top, very apt with all his groovy hip hop moves (yes we were in combat and not jam, we were also NOT doing balance). Hmmm... I kind of agreed with Master C when he said he can actually dance... well, through that few moves he demonstrated, he did seem very capable in hip hop track at least.
Together with Master C was Crystal, oh, another Master C. I've not seen Crystal for such a long time, the last time I saw her was when she was still GXC at SPK, we had so much fun times there, I was really impressed then with her up-to-date internet timetable. She looked so different now with such long hair, she looked so ladylike and suave but still had the don't-mess-with-me look during combat. Later she told me that she was no longer full time with FF and is only teaching classes freelance. I like her classes but never really able to fit her classes into my gym regimen. I remember doing her pump classes as well when I first joint gym. She being so tough, her classes were really motivating.
Came back after gym and contented myself with some baking. My number one task was my aunty's birthday cake for tomorrow night's surprise do. Baked a Sticky Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake, posting it tomorrow. After that were to bake some scones for my ex-ex-boss, one of my favorite bosses and my number 1 scones fan, sending the scones to his house before gym tomorrow. Then was to bake some brownies, I have been wanting to try out some internet recipes. Choose a Double Chocolate Brownie with Pecan and Almond. Not sure how it taste, haven't even cut it yet, I thought of bringing some to gym IF it taste OK when I try tomorrow. Not sure who will be there and whether enough or not, don't have time to bake more, was already midnight. I've originally planned to have the brownies as a gift to me ex-CEO, but decided not to because brownies can't really give the "extravagant look" that I want for an important gift. Will bake my choc cake next week for this purpose.
... and so that's why we had supper just now, the scones were really at their best when they just left the oven. Scones are best eaten warm so that the butter we apply will melt away, add jam for more flavour, we also tried them with honey just now and it was very enjoyable as well.
I need to loose more calories tomorrow!!!
