the last time i did inline skating was when the dinosaurs still roamed the earth. aye, yonkers ago. but no problem, it's like cycling right? i mean, after that first fall, you'll get better and better right? yeaaahhh ... easy squeezy lemon peasy ... dum dee doo ...

btw, i didn't just fall on my perky butt seconds before the above pic was taken. i couldn't possibly capture a perfect photo moment like that, what with trying to balance and all, right? i was on the grass cos i just put my skates on and was getting ready to get on my feet (which i successfully did, HOKAY??). heh. t'was scary, to be honest, but after a few rounds of "walking" on grass, i eventually went to the pavement to practise "walking" some more. eh, not skating like a pro yet lah. and not on the skating/cycling trail either. i don't want to make a fool of myself, do i?

*imagine someone trying to balance herself on a set of wheels, flapping her arms madly like a bird with the flu*

not a nice picture, eh? *grimace*

but my colleague (who had kindly agreed to coach us) said that i would be skating like the wind (yes people, like the wind, WHOOSH!) in about 4 weeks time. this, provided that we "train" (heh, like going for competition, like that, hor?) at least 2 - 3 times a week. now, where can i find time in my ever-busy schedule to do that??

oh btw, the big numero ocho on the skates represents my amazonian feet size. didn't they say 8 is a lucky number? i tend to agree.

I need some sleep

It can't go on like this

I tried counting sheep

But there's one I always miss

Everyone says I'm getting down too low

Everyone says you just gotta let it go

You just gotta let it go

You just gotta let it go

I need some sleep

Time to put the old horse down

I'm in too deep

And the wheels keep spinning 'round

Everyone says I'm getting' down too low

Everyone says you just gotta let it go

You just gotta let it go

You just gotta let it go

You just gotta let it go
