“there must be more than this”
i finally gave blading a chance yesterday when i was convinced by amanda and wc to blade. the sense of regret set in only after the cashier bell made it’s routine ring and i was presented with the receipt.
i had developed a phobia of learning new things like blading in the past because of a bad fall into the drain while i was learning how to cycle. blood from my gum, forehead and many more came down like a waterfall.
the stain was there for many months. i could still remember.
anyway, back to topic.
yes, i did injure myself while blading but heh, that’s normal yeah? i mean, for shaun, it’s completely normal. unfortunately, i didn’t take out my phone to take photos cause i was too concentrated on learning how to blade properly.
amanda told me that i learnt the same thing as her in one day, compared to her one month. right.
oh yes did you know, about 5 minutes after i had my skates on and moving around, i had my first fall as amanda “back-slided”. i’ve got no reason why, but i’m not worried about myself. i’m more worried about her leg. just head on to her blog and you’ll know why. ((:
learning fast is one thing. forgetting fast is my other. ((:
we saw a little boat made up of trash while we were blading
i still remember when we were changing pathways and weichan shouted that there were some bumps on the ground, i was trying my very best to stop while i was barely half-way there. i tried various ways of stopping. the ’V', the “use the plastic thing on the right skate” and many more. it was only a matter of time when i tried the ‘T’ thingie, which amanda made it looked ever so easy to do.
eventually, i lost control and fell backwards on my back. if i’m not wrong, i fell on my tail bone and gosh, my back has been aching for days already.
but who cares? i kinda liked the falling bit. hehe.
after we returned our skates back to the store, we took a nice walk down the beach. and boy, did it bring back loads of memories. i was trying not to cry while we were walking along the beach. instead, i tried to pretend as if i were having fun. but i failed miserably as i kept quiet while looking down and out at the sea.
one word. why.
here are more photos of what amanda drew on the beach:
here’s another:
the words there says, “WC, AH and SL were here (:”

the final product (without my shadow in it! 
)
after all that, there’s some posing for the camera.
they wanted their pictures taken while they were in the air…but after many failed shots – we gave up.

after i moved back a little
okay. i guess that’s all the photos i have to blog for now. ((:
