Blade II

After pushing ourselves to the limit in Saturday's Street Soccer Tournament, we went one better on Sunday and went Rollerblading again!!! Same clique as the previous week, with the inclusion of my girlfriend Sharon, Lih Soon and his girl Elaine....

The day threatened to fall apart on us when we first reached East Coast though, with heavy rain accompanied with thunder and lightning the moment Sharon rented her blades.... Here we were stuck in a little shelter watching the day just go by us....


"Apparently Jo loves watching thunderstorms..."

Amazingly though, the heavy rain lightened up after about 15 minutes, and we decided to give it a go-ahead even though it was still drizzling quite a bit!! The ground was slippery and our clothes were getting wet, but the rain wasn't gonna dampen our mood for the day!!! The initial part of the day was spent trying to get Sharon to move forward though, which really was a handful in itself. Couple that with the fact that the road was slippery and here you have a tough situation.. a newbie like me struggling to teach a first-timer.. hahahah...


"YES! She's done it! After 2 hours, she's able to.. STAND!"

To Sharon's credit, we DID make it to the Hawker Centre at the end (although we took more than half an hour!!), and there we had our lunch and waited for the King of Lateness, Tan Lih Soon, himself to arrive with Elaine.... 2 hours past our meeting time. It started to rain again while we were eating, and we were stuck again for about half an hour, before the skies cleared and we proceeded back..


"The hawker centre food made us a li'l crazy..."


"Better late than never.... Elaine and Soon..."

Before long, we were back and ready to return Sharon's blades.. (supposed to be 2 hours but extended to a whopping 4!!). Jo also had to return his after he broke his bro's earlier in the day. Anyway me and Jo are planning to get new blades.. maybe somewhere around this week. Kinda cool to have blades we can call our own, and i'm pretty sure we'll be coming down quite often, coz we're hooked onto the sport! Sharon too.. although she spent the whole day and can now move as fast as i walk (an achievement in itself), she loves it and would be more than willing to try it again!!
