another "cpe OG" outing brought to you courtesy of weilin :X
this time, it's different! no exhibitions and plain walking around, we're sliding on the cold cold ice~
why sliding and not skating? this is because skating is a subset of sliding and falling down and literally slide is also a subset of sliding.
ok... think readers will get lost here. :X so here's my account... (and one hell-long entry which I foresee)
Ok, it all started with giving sf a morning call at 10am.... she sounded very sleepy... so i predicted that she'll possibly not be able to meet me. got it right! :X but din expect her to be That late :X
well, then I was early (again...) so went to recce the rink (to see if it's crowded)... then headed back and slacked around popular... until 1132 lidat (we supposed to meet at 1130) then i went out of popular, with my still very hot char siew pau i bot earlier and &dru appeared out nowhere... and he said something like "this seems very familiar" (refers back to the previous outing at planet games)
yup... and jh appeared not long after~ (so now you know who are the ones that are always on time) yeah.. then the guys talked about palm tops and pocket pcs.. wif me gettin lost here and there... and after what seems a very long while... cm, cw, sh&yc came... then sf came... jeff.. said he meetin us there.. so we went to the rink n jeff arrived... cm treated us some Denmark.. erm.. candies? i dunno how to classify that.. it's taste is really so unique.. I had my face scrunched up for quite a while... and it's quite big... too sticky to be bitten... so ya.. :S
was damn glad that we can go in at a rate of $8.40 (skate rentals included) and unlimited hours in groups of 3?! (exactly when is such a promotion!?) but wells.. went in... got my skate wore it.. took fotos (can't take when i go in anywayz) then the person who gave us the skates (apparently he can't seem to talk) offered to help.. but i forgot to off the timer :X so the pic screwed up ><~
ya... so stepped onto the rink.. well, then it's kinda confusin.. I'm a bad teacher.. cuz i can't reallie say things out in theory.. :S and i can't do any stunts or what... then jh simply zoomed off (cuz he noes roller bladin so somehow it helps) and has been ranked as reckless skater by me... cuz he goes fast yet he can't brake... and multiple cases of him crashin into people and falling and sliding flat on the ice has happened. but then, he's quite reliable if u need to grab someone when you fall~ erm.. if he's standing around that is.
the funniest part i guess is when he also got cramp... as for why.. see below
well, aside from him.. and me who went ice skatin 2 times before.. the rest are really new at it...
yup... so the usual routine is to hold on to the barrier of the rink and skate.. and i guess the 1st person who I saw really lettin go n skate is &dru.. so thus give him the fastest learner... though he fell many times.. but he learn really fast! can't brake well still.. but is capable of doing nice spins (by accident i guess) and is very stable when skatin... sometimes.. i tot he looks more like the one that has been to ice skatin 2 times instead of me...
he's currently at learning how to do the hockey brake.. haa.. dun tink i'm up to that even ><
ya... another stable skater that u can grab if he's standin ard.... :X but sometimes, he'll juz fall if he stones too much
(ok.. since it's lidat.. i'll do an account for everyone? :X)
ok, then i guess the next one should be sh... who hold a think a record of "totally never successfully fell before".. hehe... seen around most of the time with yc and sometimes cm n cw... seen him ran (trippin n "runnin") but never really fell.. perhaps, he's the unfallable one :X
yc... she seems very enthu about reentering the rink everytime.. hehe.. but guess she's still scared of falling... more relianted on people to hold and so on.. but still quite alright i guess??
then cm... hmmm, he's always falling on that same spot (tink it's jinxed) and fell twice, once really very painful. he has many theories when it comes to ice skatin tho.. haha :p
then... jeff.. the poor fellow who ended up gettin blisters and also having trouble braking... not that stable but still learn at quite a managable pace :) interestin to see him skate... but too bad he left earli.. with blisters :x hope his gf wun do anythin to him abt the blisters :X
sf, was scared at 1st, but I thought her progess is quite good too~ but I don't dare to really hold her hands to skate.. scared I pull her down :X anywayz, she substained blue blacks to both her knees.. and eventually had to retreat becuz one knee was swollen
cw.. and ALWays falling on his butt haha.. :X it's interestin to see him skate.. though at times worryin :p
as fer me... ha... i'm not good lar.. aside from skatin at not a veri fast pace... and knowin how to do the inverted V brake.. everythin else i can't do.. can't turn.. can't spin... fell down quite alot of times... either i'm doing something stupid... or juz fell.. for no good reason... then.. leg cramp like one after the other.. very bad~ (thanks for the concern guys... and to jh.. sorry.. din noe it's contagious :X)
we skated like 4long hours... the longest session i've ever been to.. but i really tot that figure skatin is cool (i noe i dun reallie hav a figure.. but.... ) ya, then see all the very pro kids very envy.. one of them (veri small sized) but very cute.. then the rest very pro.. they can dance and play games on the ice.. -_- *inferiority complex sets in*
oh ya, then got some ppl on the ice skatin ring.. 1stly got tis couple at the veri beginning wearin hockey skates.. erm.. though pro, the guy especially jeoperdized safty of learners... makin a fool out of themselves and AA... then later got another guy come in... well, he goes quite fast but still alrite.. and accordin to sf, he actually helped the kids and is not those dao type.. haa.. ok
the person who allocated the skates to us also joined in the skatin later... always signallin us to continue skatin, hav fun and not to be afraid of fallin etc etc.. he's very nice actually, if only he can talk... cuz hand signs are not always understandable...
ya... was in a sense quite reluctant to leave... but was super duper hungry (din reallie eat lunch) so went to delifrance to eat~ had *beep* :X wun say.. cuz it's a prohibited food for me... :X k lar.. it's potato gratin.. end up jh, sf, cw n me all eatin the same stuff.. haha...
and our table includin &dru is all eatin kentang! :X
after eatin and long chats.. cm, sh, yc and cw left...
we headed to the arcade.. played bishi bashi... sf's reallie the champ.. can't beat her.. ok.. my reflex sux... my brain lags severely...
then &dru left for his church service... leavin the 3 of us.. so i anyhow rid myself off the extra token and went to play an hour of pool wif jh... well, i definately not as pro as him... and i most of the time is dai ko one... :X and the striped balls are jinxed... (alot of times.. our game ended prematurely with the black 8 gettin shot in.. :X )
yup~ fun fun day~~ :D let's have more outings~! muahaha... tink i can juz sit at home immobile tml.. shld get a bad muscleache.. and i substained a blue black too... :\
