whee...went ice-skating today for my class GEMS! haha...for non-HCI students, GEMS means General Enrichment Module...(no idea what the S stands for, perhaps its a small 's' instead ;D )
it would have been damn fun to watch this noob here trying hard to ice skate...seriously, i m the ultimate noob, as i have nv tried ANY form of skating before, rollerblading n iceskating included... 79 went to ichiban at IMM for lunch first where i ordered some mackeral thingie with a rice set (haha, pardon me, for japs n jap lovers, mean no disrespect to ur culture)...had a grand time eating...only hick-up was the exchange of food b/w yufei n jianfei...haha...
then we went over to jurong entertainment centre n up to fuji ice palace for the skating...met 77 there n two guys frm 75 n 78 who were supposed to be our instructors...anyway, they ended up not teaching much (one was sick n the other was enjoying doing stunts too much)... n the poor noobs all went in a row, clinging on to the sides n trying desperately not to fall... when i first stepped in, my brain was screaming" TURN BACK! TURN BACK! WHAT THE HELL R U DOING OUT ON THE SLIPPERY ICE BALANCING ON TWO THIN BLADES?!" haha...but i didnt coz ppl were coming in frm the entrance, so no choice but forward...
so on i went with the other noobies in front n behind me... clinging on for dear life n trying to figure out the trick to skating w/o holding on to something...the better ones took pity on us n one by one, we let go of the sides onto the dangerous world of ice... haha, i had lots of shifu, some were 79 peeps some were 77... changed tchers so that they could get to enjoy themselves w/o burdens... haha, took some spills, 9 in total...brilliant wasnt i? ;D
haha, 5 falls in the first half, all on my tush...went off the ice for the cleaning at abt 4.10pm...then back on...2nd half, i gained much courage to venture out on my own...was sliding on my own when this guy ("Mr Platonic Friend" to my friends) leaning on the sides told me to look ahead instead of always at my feet...haha, i must have looked super pathetic bcoz he decided to take me on as a tutee... but each time he asked me to "follow him", i fell, at his feet...altogether, making up 3 out of the 4 times during the 2nd half... must have looked super glam...haha...found out he had been skating for 4 years...
have a blister on the back of my right foot from ice-skating n a bruise the size of a 5 cent coin on my right knee from my 7th fall...though i was lucky not to have fallen on my tailbone which would have been painful...
we left at 5 n some of the girls went to take neoprints...then around 6 plus, we left...
conclusion: i would LOVE to do it again! haha ;D seriously... for those who havent tried, do go n try ;D
