1st time ice-skating in S'pore

I just tried ice-skating today! Haha not that I haven't ice-skated before (my first being at the open air one in Europe), just that this is the first time I'm skating in S'pore. I went with my mum's students, since she had some health and fitness camp in school and have to bring the students to Kallang leisure park for this. Guess what? The girl under attachment at my mum's school (and therefore under my mum), shared the same primary school as me! No wonder I found her so familiar when I saw her today.

Anyway, it was like a day at my mum's job kinda thing..following my mum around, watching her get her students going, making calls, etc. Lucky she didn't have to scold them before leaving the school or else my eardrums would've burst..I dun have to be her student to know how loud she can go haha. Reaching Kallang leisure park, I got my first glimpse of the ice-skating ring. It's about the same as the one at Jurong, probably slightly bigger, but just as cold. Fortunately, it wasn't that crowded; there was still space to skate around. At first I saw some couple skating, or rather, one teaching the other how to skate, then the more I looked, the more familiar they seemed. Until I realised that I was looking at Liesl and Wei Wen! Shocking haha...coz I go anywhere also dun see them, but today actually saw them at such a nearby place. It's a small world after all.

If you want to skate, I suggest bringing your own gloves and socks, coz buying them there will be $2 each...tt's how they earn I guess. But other than that, it's really really fun. I havent tried the Jurong one though, so duno how it compares to that, but skating's a great experience! It's like my 2nd time skating only? But I dun rmb the first being like that. Guess that time I was struggling to keep my balance instead. Skating's like rollerblading, but minus the friction you get from the ground. Ok skating's like a 100times better than rollerblading coz you just glide. Plus a small shift of your weight can make a big turn..really amazing. I was suprised that I could do turns and stuff..but I fell once coz I went too fast heheh. Nose running and feet numb, I left the ring one and a half hour later, but I dun mind skating another time though. Any takers?

I din get to explore the place much coz I ended up eating toast at the food court with my mum after that. It was quite empty...maybe just start of school holidays and the place is new. Then again, E!Hub is new but there's already so many people walking around there everytime I pass by. Hmm..who knows? Kallang leisure park is a bit out of the way I guess.

The bus came and the students took some time deciding which bus to board, so I finally saw my mum in action shouting at students. Haha not that I'm a sadist la enjoy seeing them scolded by my mum, but it's a long time since I 've seen her do that. I dozed off on the bus back, then reached mum's school, had nothing to do, so I started packing her table. A teacher's table never neat haha. I managed to revive her forlorn-looking money plant and threw away some expired cup-a-soup. Looks like I made myself useful there..eh Ma how you gona thank me? Haha just kidding I actually enjoy packing up the place for her.

After that not much alrd...got home, cleaned up the lovebirds cage and had dinner. My mum and bro are both away for camp (nope not the same camp; my bro's having nyaa silver camp), so the house'll be quite quiet the next few days. Guess it'll be a good time to study too. See everything also think about studies...my gosh where's life? Well...guess I believe in working hard, but also playing hard.

Ok better sleep alrd...tmr I have to give wake up call. To SOMEONE who always manages to sleep till late into the afternoon haha. Duno how to accomplish that though..it's a skill! Okok good night(morning)!
