Ice-Skating...

I went ice-skating with Jen yesterday. It was her idea. It's been eons since I last skated. I believe the last time was in secondary school, lower secondary. Anyway, we went there in the afternoon and was startled by the number of people in the rink. We went in, got our skates and went onto the ice.

We started slow because we were afraid to fall. The ice has a layer of water on it, so falling will mean getting ourselves wet. Don't get me wrong, I do know how to skate a little and I can skate quite fast too, but I was going slow because I'm trying to get back the 'feel'. We skated a few rounds, saw many funny scenes, like people falling, some elderly doing figure-skating, etc.

The rink was scheduled for re-surfacing at 4PM, but the machine was faulty, thus the skaters were allowed to carry on skating. Jen and I skated while holding hands, then we dragged each other around. Made me feel like a young teenager (I make myself sound so old). We skated for a while more when something happened. I was skating in front of Jen when I heard a shout. I turned around and saw Jen on the ground, with another guy. The guy had lost his balance and collided into Jen. His friends got him up and they helped Jen up. Then they apologised to me instead of Jen. Hmm... Maybe because I looked fierce? Haha...

We had instant noodles there before we left. We were eating when a girl was helped to the dining area. Apparently she had slipped and fall, and she hit her head, thus suffering a minor concussion. We were preparing to leave when I saw another girl on another bench, also having concussion I guess. Paramedics came in and took the girl away. What a day for those injured...

At the rink...

We walked around Jurong after we left, then we went to JP to take a look at somethings. Headed back to my house after that.

End...
