43rd Day 27/09/08 (Ice Skating) Today, we decided to go to Sunway Pyramid to ice skate. This is my first time and I'm thrilled. There were a lot of people at the ice rink and some of them are seriously awesome. I met a girl who was maybe 6 or 7 years old and she skates like a professional. She is so cute too with her ballet dress.
After I put on my ice skating shoes, I could not even stand properly. I wobbled all the way the moment my feet touched the ice rink. I was having some troubles skating because I could not balance myself upright.
I managed to balance myself after struggling endlessly, holding the railing while skating. My friend is a beginner just like me but he skated so well. It's so unfair watching him skate graciously while I kept tumbling. He told me it's in his nature. Ya, right......
I fell down most of the time when I was skating. If I'm not mistaken, I fell 16 times (Yup, I kept count all this while). I fell on my bottom, side way, fell on my knees, elbow and sometimes a full body slam. Ouch. Of course I felt ridiculous and embarrassed when I tripped but sooner or later I got used to it because the pain was unbearable. I injured my knees, my right elbow, my left ankle and my right palm. The injury on my elbow is quite serious as I slam it towards the ice when I tried to break my fall. I never realised ice skating can be so dangerous.
I sweated a lot during the workout. Surprisingly, ice skating is not that easy and relaxing as what it seems. It takes a lot energy and will power just to prevent yourself from falling down. People saw me fell all the time so some of them approached me to give me some pointers. So nice of them or maybe they just sympathised me =.=". After 2 hours of mindlessly skating, I finally got the hang of it, I think. However, the operator of the ice rink asked us to stop skating because it's cleaning time. Bummer, just when I got flow of triumph of beating this sport.
With mixed feeling and bruises from all over my body, I departed and went back to my home to sleep.

You might be wondering why my diet is so chaotic. Well, we travelled to Sunway Pyramid by bus and LRT hence it took up a lot of my time.
I fall down quite a lot in the first time too, and manage to stabalize myself in the 2nd time playing there.
There is once, where I bump into a couple.. The guy are grabbing the girl hand, then I bump into the guy~ They guy nearly fall down with the girl together
Its embarassing actually, but very fun ..hehehe. Lets skate somedays
