========================================

2nd try on the blades. Think I did better than last Wednesday when it was officially my first time on the 8 wheels. We decided to go Pasir Ris Park for yesterday's session. The place is more challenging than ECP. There are inclines which usually we do not notice. So much so that Jeannie and I din dare to move in the beginning. We somehow grit our teeth and started rolling with all sorta poses and stunts. :p

In all, there were progress with Stanley's slow teaching. That guy is way too cool. So I guess, never to judge a fella by the looks! He looks all nerdy at work, but he really can do wonders with those blades. He did all the stunts like he was on ice-skate, jumped everywhere like he was on his feets. He could just spot our mistakes by looking at how we blade. On and off, he told Jeannie that she did not tie her blades properly and by just a look, he knows my blades are too big for me. No, I'm not gonna buy a new one. This blades just set me hundred over bucks!

So I make do with this current pair and learn to adapt to it. Stan's advise is to practice balancing on my left leg instead on depending on the right. After a few more hours, I was getting the hang of it. So the blading part was alright and I did not fall. But my stupidity made the day. -.-" As my knees were a little stiff, I tried to ease them by doing some bending stretch. Shortly after squatting, the wheels rolled off and I fell backwards onto the ground. For a few second, I was in excruciating pain that I couldn't even talk. Swear that if I was a crybaby, I would have tears coming out! Although, I landed on the grass patch, it hit my tailbone and I could feel the pain internally instead of the outside. Wah lah! It's DAMN painful. Sob sob.

So yesterday night, I had problem sitting down and standing up. Today, the pain was far worst. All I could do is going "ouch ouch ouch ouch" for the days to come. Sobz.
