still in kl

i'm blogging from my aunt's computer in the star's office
yes, she works for the star
just in case you dont know
for those of you who have been living in kampung your whole life
the star is one of the most widely read english newspaper in malaysia
and i've learnt from her that working as a journalist will get you opportunities to travel
and interview celebrities
like beyonce knowles, and mandy moore
if you dont know who they are
stop reading
STOP
you should probably read something else that might be more interesting


just came back from the fish's , i.e. jiah ling's hse
we went for ice skating yesterday
at first i wasnt very keen on the idea
but luckily we did go
we met xiang ying there
she's the one who suggested ice skating btw
and yes
i'm a beginner
i've only skated twice
excluding yesterday
in my whole life
and that was like 6 years ago in penang

the first thing that i felt when my feet touches the ice
was
slippery
yes, very ver slippery
it's like walking on a layer of oil
just that it's not oily
and it's transparant
oil is also transparant but it has colour
ice doesnt
and so
the question will be:-
did i fall??
yes



nah..sorry to disappont u guys
too bad
i didnt fall
NOPE
NOT EVEN ONCE!!!!!!!
hehehe
maybe i'm good at it
maybe i've found my talent
maybe this is what people mean by genius
i might become world champion if i started young
:P
but now too late d
know why,
coz i can fall while walking on flat surfaces wearing normal shoes
( read, the day after stpm';s journal)
but i didnt fall while skating on ice which has coeefocient of static friction
way lower than normal surfaces i walked on for 18 years
well, in simple words
ice is slippery than grounds
due to the lack of frictional force that arises from reaction force
bla bla bla bla
i can keep on showing off my physics knowledge
or i can go on with yesterday
ok, ill pick the latter

so now there's a new item in my to do list
ice skating!!!!!!!!!


oh, and i think i can skate better now
much better than i used to
coz in the 2 hour period
i have master the basic skill of not falling down
hehehe
skating on ice is nice
the feeling where u can slide anywhere
and a push can bring you 10 times as far as u leapt or walk
is so so so great!!!!!!!!!
but i'm still no expert,
YET
but i hope i will be, someday

both xiang ying and jiah ling have agreed that i'm indeed
gifted in ice skating
coz xy's bro have to held on tight to the rail even after 3 times of ice skating
and me the first timer
can skate in the middle of the ring
without falling
so it's a great acheivement la right?

the entrance fees is 19
so damn expensive right?
jiah ling's already a skater
and so is xiang ying
so i'm the worst skater among the three
but still okay la
at least i didnt fall
unlike *someone*
i almost fell thrice
but it's becoz people pushed me ma
not my fault right??
too bad penang dosnt has a ice skating ring
sighhhhhhh
if not, i'll prollie work there
so i can skate everyday for free!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wohooooooooooooooooo
o
btw,
it's at sunway, pyramid ice

nice nice nice
and that's about it i guess
it's so much funner in reality
too bad i cant describe it better
o
and if you really are going to skate
my advice is
wear something comforatable where you can strecth in it
and bring extra clothes
just in case u fall

the shoes are very very tight fitting
and you have to make sure u tie the shoe laces as tight as u can
or else
they wont let u enter the ring
yes, they check ur shoes before they let u in
after taking off those bloody tight shoes
my feet feels so good
so that's why most people dont take off them
while waiting for the resurfacing process which is about once an hour or so
the blue Sketchers sneakers that i always complain is so tight
feels like heaven
coz it fits my feet perfectly
hehe
think my feet are getting a size smaller now

jiah ling
who skated so many times
was smart enough to ask us to bring our own socks
and she ;lent us her gloves
if not,
u have to buy those from them
which cost like hell
RM5 for the gloves we usually wore in camps to build gadjets long long
long time ago

and it's quite a workout actually
my leg muscles are aching now
and i think i'm lighter now after the skating session
hehehehehhehehehehhehh
what a nice way to slim down
just that it's a bit costly
and you can have fun while doing it

so ice skating anyone??
