::: Noobs, Stumbles, Falls and FUN :::

It's been quite some time since those good ol' canoeing days that the few of us have actually got together to sweat it out. Saturday was an exception... we (Sacha, Chels, Nic and myself) went ROLLER BLADING at East Coast Park.

We started our day relatively early coz our dear Sacha was so overly excited and couldn't wait to slip on her new blades that she bought 2 days before! She's a little annoyed with me coz I went with her to choose her blades and when asked to comment on her new wheels, I just said ' they are ok la' Hahaha... but yes, they are nice, just not my flava! They look pretty 'fierce' though.


Sacha's new wheels

We had 2 roller blading noobs with us - Chels and Nic (no offence...light hearted ya!). After renting their blades, things got off to a slow start coz its been eons since those 2 noobs bladed. So step by step, glide by glide and several stumbles and falls on thier bums and well protected knees later, they actually warmed up and got pretty good I must say!

Off we go....

Nic crusing along... or so u think...

The entire session was filled with fun and sweat I must add. With Chels bursting out into her random screams when she felt she was gonna fall, to an inconsiderate Nic who on the other hand has a very bad habit of grabbing onto the nearest person to him when he's about to fall and taking them down with him! I think all 3 of us gals fell victims to him! *Prick*

Chels, Sacha and Me

As for myself... not bragging ok. I'm just an average skater, really! Sacha and I managed to squeeze in a few decent skates, (thanks to Chels and Nic who insisted we should just go on without them coz they felt bad for holding us up and that we might be feeling bored)... but nah, I think we both had fun helping u guys and of coz watching u guys fall! Hah! :)

One last thing to add.... TWIGS on the ground are very small and lethal objects! Humph... Sacha and I were cursing at those seemingly harmless objects of nature throughout the session. There's just so many on the ground, even when u try your best to avoid them, there are times when those buggers get caught between your wheels and it's not a good feeling I tell you. Thank God for a good sense of balance! *showoff* pardon my bragging!

Nonetheless... hello nice arses and thighs! We might have another session next Saturday. Anyone else interested in joining us???


*********************

Later that night, another bunch of us canoeing peeps (Chels, Nic, Weihao and myself) caught up for a mini chillout session at Brewerkz @ Kallang.

Lovely night light of Tanjong Rhu along the Kallang River

Finally managed to catch up with Weihao who always seems to be soooooo very busy. If he's not studying, it'll be work, if not, it's girlfriend day. But he's such a sweetie. Hahha. Aside from some Ale all round, we got ourselves an order of Fried Calamari, Nachos and Mini sausages to share. The fried calamari was okay only. Not fantastic coz it wasn't the very crispy ones that we thought it would be. At least it wasn't over cooked! The sausages were pretty yummy. Loved the Spicy Italian flavoured one. Guess the best dish hands down was none other than the sinful platter of cheese, salsa, guacamole and sour cream covered Nachos.

Ale, Ale, Ale...

Yummy Sausages!!!


Fried Calamari

Awesome and sinful Nachos

Was certainly nice finding time to catch up with each other, reminiscing those days where we rowed in the Kallang River. Brewerkz was also showing coverage of a footy match and Chels and I realised how much we missed those times back in Perth where we caught random footy matches on TV, how much the Aussies were so into the game and just the sheer passion that the entire country has for it. It's an awesome game I tell you. The day ended with several rounds of bridge, which Chels and I unfortunately lost to a pair of just very lucky players! * i swear it was pure luck*

On a sidenote. I'm such a twit. I just found out from Chels that Starhub cable offers a free-to-air channel - Australian Network, which screens AFL and rugby matches! Good news for me! It's gonna be a new favourite channel! Yay!
