SKATING ROCKS!!
8.30am, is the time I woke up today for a skating event organised by BE society.Well, I had to say I was being dragged by my sister there to accompany her. I was and am still tired now.
Left house at 9am for ECP. Supposed to reach at 10.30am, but after waiting for half an hr at the bus-stop there, do we realise that there is NO MORNING BUS AT ALL!!! Silly us waiting down there. And after that do my sis also realise she actually walked by that route before and she knows the way to ECP!!! hmfp..nvm so we walked a long way down before reaching the meeting place.
Changed into our skates. If u can spot mi in the pic, u'll realise I'm not wearing their red T-shirt cos it was too late for mi to register on Fri. So I wasn't able to get the T-shirt. Anyways, I find it not to be of a big deal too. For mi is $7 (for those with own skates) and $12 (for those w/o skates), u get a free T-shirt, with words I think is quite interesting at the back.
"Because everyone's skating"
Not too bad la, but just when my sister and I thought lunch would be provided, it surprisingly shocked us when each of us gets only a packet of MILO drink only. Pathetic right? haix...
Together with Li Wen and the other few skaters in the advanced class, the whole grp skated all the way to the most far right end of the park until dead end. It was tiring!! And "suay" mi tripped over a fruit seed on the road while skating and fell. Though there's blood, but seriously, I felt no pain at all! Its just a small injury I guess. Thanks to Priscilla for helping mi to treat the wound and bandage it. :)

Den sis, Pris and I headed to the arcade. Originally wanted to start playing some car games but "clever" Gary came at the right time, so in the end I saw the 2 of them play Dance tempo game and Time Crisis only.
After that, gathered with the rest of them, altogether 14 ppl. Went into the air-conditioned foodcourt one big round looking for seats enough for the whole gang. And finally settled upon a restaurant already(the food there is SUPER EXP. min pricing is $3.50 which its actually a dessert), Gary suddenly suggested the idea of voting to see who wants to eat outside and here. In the end 50 50, half the grp wanted to eat outside(including mi and my sis), so we went separate ways. The other grp went to KFC and the rest of us walked to the nearby hawker centre.
Bought vegetarian food and ice-kachang for lunch. Not too bad, but not very filling.
7 of us there. After that, we headed back to ECP for skating yet AGAIN. I DUN FEEL LIKE skating at that time anymore cos I'm just too tired to continue anymore.
Sis rented a pair of skates. Waited for her. Den we skated all the way to the other end: Bedok Jetty
Wows!! I guess this is the best thing ever happened today. The scenery there is just...fabulously superb!!! Took lotsa lotsa photos while listening to some music using my sis's phone. I just can't stop admiring my own art works of photography la. LOLS!! Joking only la. Even took a video cos I thought that since I'm on my skates, it'd be great (more smoother) to take a full view of the sea while moving in front in the skates. hehe... but too bad I can't post up here and share with u all my good video-taking skills. haha paiseh too bhb liao. (Just kidding la. =P)
The sunset is so beautiful!! Its been such a long time since I last saw one.
There's the tranquil sea waves too. Pics are all in my sis's phone.
Just before we left, we also spotted the Singapore Flag flying past. Practising for the NDP rehearsal.
After a long skate back again, my sis returned her skates and we changed back for our dinner.
Back at the same hawker centre we ate in the afternoon. This time round I ordered the porridge Gary recommended. Quite good. I should have bought the 皮蛋粥 one. Next time I won't be so stupid again. >.<
And just when I thought we were going back already, GARY suggested going to an arcade AGAIN~~ Those games are so boring la. The same old thing again and again. A waste of money and time. See, if u want to play or practise basketball, u can just go to a basketball court and play. Its even more fun and a better form of exercise too!! :)
Skating was fun!! And will always be!! ^^
Today I've learnt a valuable lesson. (from what my friends did)
U don't hate somebody for no reason. The behaviour he/she showed, his/her thinking, the words, character and everything else makes up why u gave him/her a F grade in ur Friends List. And when that really happens, it marks a scar on your relationship. Forever it will remain.
