Evaluation and Level 2

Went to Bishan Park for my Level 1 Evaluation lesson. I was the only person, so the "teacher" go thru with me all the lessons from Level 1. I didnt do very well actually, but still he passed me. Phew...

Later in the afternoon, went back to Bishan Park for Level 2 lesson 1. Stride 2 and one foot balance. Stride 2 is like stride one, but with faster speed. That I pass with no problem. But the one foot balance, nt really easy, especially since I still nt very confident on skates. Think I need more practice outside lesson time.

bought my skates

Didnt go to skating lesson today. Went to World of Sports@Northpoint to grab a pair of skates. 90+ bucks. Quite reasonable.

Wanted to try out my new skates, so went my house downstairs the void deck skate skate a bit. Still nt very confident actually.

Later went out with family for dinner along havelock road.

80kg milestone achieved

Today after my gym session, I went to weight at the digital weighting machine. 79.9 kg. Hurray, another milestone for me. LOL. From an almost 100kg guy to a 80 kg. Almost 20kg gone, not bad lah hor.

Anyway I was 81, 82, 81, 82 for quite some time liao. This few days keep eating moon cakes. In fact I just ate one big slice of durian snowskin mooncake, and its 11:45pm now haha.

Hope I can maintain my weight like this lah. And maybe replace my flabby stomach with some 6-pack. but not so easy lah. Coz I like to eat leh. LOL!!!!

Anyway today is Mid-Autumn festival. Wishing all a happy mid-autumn!! Hope you all have enjoyed watching the moon, eating mooncakes, carrying lanterns, playing with candles and blah blah blah....... with your love ones tonight. Gdnite everyone.

good skating day ;)

This morning the rain just fell like nobody business. The lightning strike and strike and thunder whamp pham pham so loud. Wake me up from my beauty sleep.

I looked at the clock on the wall. Think its around 10++ a.m. Jialat, later i want to go bishan again leh. So hope the rain will stop soon. Luckily stop around 12pm then the bright hot sun came.

So off to bishan again. This time i decided to change to a smaller sized skate. size 10 only. Very nice skate. Look new. and i can better control myself with it.

But!!! ITS TOO SMALL. My poor fore-toes hurt like hell. My fore-toes are the longest part of my feet you see. Can guess what, I pass Lesson 3. Then next lesson is Lesson 4 which i can join immediately coz the next lesson slot is for lesson 4. So I went again.

Lesson 4 is Scooter and Swizzle. Hmm dunno how to explain what they are. Anyway, in the middle of the lesson, i cannot take the pain man! I went to change my skates during the 5min water break. Phew.. Its so much better.

Then guess what? I pass lesson 4 also. Next lesson is evaluation for Level 2.

But I got no time liao, and also tired, and also got 2 sore toes. So I went home. Next lesson then do evaluation bah.

I also thinking of getting a pair of skates myself. Those rental skates are damn lousy. Especially for big sized ones. Get those not so ex one. Maybe 100++ one will do. Maybe next week go world of sports see see look look.

Then after a quick shower after reaching home, I went to my colleague's wedding at Pine Court restaurant at Meritus Mandarin. The food not bad leh. I was quite full after the dinner. Surprising right since wedding dinner normal requires some summer coz most of the time not enough one.

But i think the restaurant, per table should be quite ex. Quite posh looking and its on 35 floor (top floor)

Bad skating day

After 5 days w/o skating, my skating basic skills became rusty again. So today didnt really skate well. Then I wore a lousy pair of skates, then got a not so good instructor.

Think I'm tired also lah.

Anyway today was Lesson 3 - A-Frame turn. Got to skate and roll then open up the legs and turn. Not very difficult, but my legs just didnt listen.

Anyway I need more practice lah, so try again tomorrow lor.


Anyway today is Rachel aka tutu birthday. Happy birthday tutu!!!

Inline skating - Level 1

Inline skating at skateline got a few levels. After finishing the intro lesson yesterday, today I proceed with Level 1.

Level 1 got 4 lessons. Today I manage to pass 2 lessons. Stride 1 and heel stop. Stride 1 is the most basic striding. Stride left and right moving forward lor.

Then heel stop is using the heel brake at the back of the right skate to stop. To use the brake, got to point the right skate upwards.

Starting to get the hang of the balancing and the leaning forward. But still need lot more practise. The next weekend i will be moving on to lesson 3.

Inline skating for the first time

I have never really did inline skating, or rollerbladding before. Actually, I did rent some skates before at ecp, but I gave them up and exchange for a bicycle instead. Coz its not really so easy that you can just go and skate just like that.

This afternoon, looking at the sunny weather, I made up my mind. Got company or not, i will just go ahead. So I went to Bishan Park II Skateline to take up skate lessons. The man at the counter reco me to take up the skate-all-you-can (weekend) which allows me to go for as many Weekend lessons as I like for a period of 1 mth. Cost me around 95.34 (inclu. GST). I think its quite affordable lah.

First lesson was no problem at all. Its a intro lesson to inline skating. Basically, I was taught how to get up and fall down. Then some simple v-walk and then roll. Roll meaning moving forward with the skates parallel to each other forming a eleven. After the lesson, my whole shirt is full of sweat man. i reckon this inline skating is really quite a good sport. And many small little kids are learning as well. The class size is variable. Sometimes, there alot, sometimes just a few. Today, there's only 4 of us.

Happy birthday davon.

Today is my friend, Davon birthday. Went to Suki Sushi@cineleisure to have dinner then went next door Kbox to K. Kbox now damn ex leh. 24 per pax + the snacks. then only can sing for 3 hours. I think partyworld better leh. Anyway, after the ktv, still early so we went grandlink to go poke some number balls before we head home. Reach home very early. Around 4+ 5am. haha.

Vexed

Recently very vexed. Over work mainly. My contract ending soon you see. In late oct. My boss interviewed me, telling me my performance was good, will consider converting me to perm and offer me a good package.

Sounds not bad right.

But the problem is one part of me is asking me to leave. That part of me is very realistic one. That part thinks that the bank paying me too low. Then prospect also so so only. Benefits lousy (if remain as contract lah)

But hor, the other part of me is asking me to stay. This part is more reserved and conservative. This part thinks that since now I involved in a project in which upon completion will look good in the CV one. Some Forex/Money Market ticketing project meant for oversea and local branch. Somemore, this part thinks that I might get a good package + a possible conversion.

But the 1st part of me still thinks its time to move on.

This part and that part keep fighting this few weeks. Very tiring. Plus got 2 friends want to reco me to their co. to work. Asking me to send my CV to them. I haven send yet. Still haven update my CV yet. Having lots of 2nd, 3rd, 4th tots...

How, how. Today is 1st Sep. What should I do?
