Ice skating!!

Look at the first photo..im the girl standing out of the crowd..lookin down at my feet =.=
What?? DONT LAUGH ok..


I went ice skating for the first time in my life.
And EVERYBODY except me can ice skate!
so i started with leaning on the side wall..for like the whole entire hour..learning the basics of ice skating =p
And the ice skate shoes tat i have to wear..its soo heavy..no kidding..and i've got like a huge blister in the end of the day..ouch..
anyways..It's really sad cause this kid wanted to pass by and he's like "excuse me " and gave me that look =s
but cant blame me wad..kuching dont have any ice skating place! xD

Oh and we did those everybody-line-up-and-skate-around thing =)

This is the group of asian girls tat i hang out with here =)

We have friendship rings and mine's purple colour =p

So....after an hour-ish of teaching from my friends..and after felling down on my knees and on my butt..

I CAN STAND ON ICE WITHOUT THE WALL!!! =) I can skate a little bit..but not too far..and i bet i look a duck when i skate..cause i still dont relaly hav the right skills..but at least i can walk around rite?? xD

and this last photo was actually me trying to lift up one of my foot so that i can pose properly..but i cant lift it up =p

I'll make sure i can lift one foot up beautifully next time round =p
