Skating!! with BIG 'O CHE' !!

Date: 10th February 2008

Weeeee!! Some update for today! Went to skating with friends this evening! Damn FUN!! hahaha..
This time was the second time i went for skating....there's a skating ring (field) near to our hostel...entrance fee is 50 roubles......i borrowed a pair of skates shoes from a girl in this hostel...very nice shoes...

The skating ring is not open every day....so when it's opened, a friend will inform us...then we will go there and have fun! Last few days the ring was closed...today it was on! so we got to grab this long waited opportunity to have fun liao......Went there around 4.45 pm..

Not many people skating....around 20 to 30 people....a lot of kids...small kids are skating and a few teenagers....some of them are very pro! and even the kids too ....A kid saw me fall down so many times , finally he couldn't stand it and taught me how to skate better.....how? You have to bend your body forward a bit to have a better balance! hahaha.....

This is the skate shoes…nice? Ahhaa..

The skating ring!

2 person holding both of my hands and skate together….i was wondering if they tried to ‘chi fu’ me or tried to help me..hahaha..cause when they were holding my hands, they skate faster than I ever imagine…..this make me hard to balance my body..ahahaha…..but well, they did grab my hands tightly and prevented me to fall down…..thanks to them also that I have fun ….after skating for 2 rounds....i was back to my own skating time…ahhaha..

These are the people I went with…from left….eddy, lim eng haw, __, alex….We were trying to balance ourself for photo-ing..hahaha..

Finally got our balance controlled….now faster SNAP!!! Hahaha…

Another photo session at around 5.30 pm..haha…

That’s the small kid who taught me to bend my body forward a bit..hahaha…he can skate so fast, like how we normally run! Hahaha…

Finished skating at around 6.45 pm…..i went to church straight after that…..the temperature was -6.4 celcius tonight….colder than last few days…
Came back from church at 10.30 pm…took bath, had my dinner and massaging my green blacked knee…….due to the skating…

Ta da!! Proudly present my green blacked knees! Hahahhaa…..i fell down many times….dont worry…it wasn’t only me who fell down….many people fell down too….even the kids who just began to learn, fell down many many times too! But they never gave up…..they got up themselves and skate again every time they fall down! After millions of falling down, you will get to master the skating skills…that’s how we learn…haha…well, it wasn’t pain when you fall down also, the pain just came after you came back home…not a sharp pain though…so don’t worry….be brave to skate and brave to fall down too…hahaha…The more you fall, the more you enjoy it! Really! Of course the more you get used to skate and control your speed and balance….Enghaw fell down with small skin abrasion on his lip…not pain though….Eddy fell down with some ‘oh ce’ pain on his palm and his right hip, Me? Like the above pictures….o ce on both of my knees…and also some pain on my buttocks..haha..Nevertheless…we still enjoy the fun out of it! I m looking forward for next coming skating time! hohoho…..
