Baby Bean Seedlings :)

Success (some!) so far in germinating my adzuki beans and chickpeas! Unfortunately left the adzuki outside for too long ~  birds or insects ate some of them and left my poor chipped and harassed red beans looking quite not alive :(

But some survived! YAY!

It was my first time germinating chickpeas - it never occurred to be before to give it a go! Soaked them for about 2 days until little roots started to show. Popped them in damp cotton wool until they grew a little bit more and had a bit of "grip". Then, into the jar and outside sun as the leaves started to show :) .

my chickpeas! conveniently fitting into our coffee cup holders ;) 

ADZUKI! the first one transplanted from cotton wool into a jar.. 

We used to have to germinate red or green beans yearly at school for a science project. Most of us just threw them away once the project was over. One year,  I replanted them into a pot in my garden. WHOA! :) ... Gorgeous plant & I had my own green beans after awhile! My science teacher wouldn't believe me that it would grow and have pods...=_='.

mmmmm :) pretty & delicate leaves :) <3

Instinctive Defence PRomO!

I'm excited for this Saturday ~ our 2nd Instinctive Defence Workshop! Places have been filling up and it's looking pretty good at the moment. We've been releasing promo material over the past few weeks hoping to gain some momentum. Besides the Facebook comments of "how cute" and similar comments, I am unsure if we're getting the message across yet. Ah well... time will tell!

Here's a couple more interesting things about the workshop!

1) We literally do ask you to show your fangs. You'd be surprised that you had some animal instinct left over the years of evolution and taming of our species ;) .

2) Our strategy is P.I.E.S. ~ It's YOUR strategy to figure out through the practice of the above - "rediscovering your inner roar". How do you come up with your strategy you say? In this workshop, we simulate a real life situation and if you don't think and act quick ... uh oh ;) 

 3) It's a one off course that has people a little sweaty from roaring, more instinctive and versatile and more prepared to roam the forest of our metropolitan city.
