Me Time!

My family learnt to blade 3 years back. Now, DC can blade confidently & DH is proficient in it. I'm lousy in it. Cushy butt didn't help when I fell. But it was good fun for the family. Didn't get a private coach. Went to West Coast Park where they had group blading lessons. So for 3 months, we were parked at West Coast Park from 1.30pm to 6pm every weekend. We became dark brown during that period.

I'm still lousy at it. :politebleah: One can't be good at everything, aye? My oredi big butt got bigger each time I fell I think. I won a parent and child blading trial with a rollerblading team that tied up with a parents' magazine. My Daddie brought us there and we got our refresher. We self-taught ourselves the first time around with what we read & info gathered online, on TV and from frenz who are already pretty good bladers.

We started on grass patch first, for falling lessons. We did our blading at either ECP or Sentosa. At times we all dunked into the cool sea water for a cool swim before we head out for lunch or dinner. So all of us were pretty much not just honey glazed but yes, really tan.

The bonding experience... priceless. The children still remember it till today.

bb_mom.. I'm not that good with these blading, skateboarding wat nots but I'm good when wet. Hubs says my family were born half human half fish. :rotflmao: He only knows the doggie. You know how dogs paddle and kick their paws in water? He's better now though but till today when we are out at the beach he would remind me not to swim too far out coz he can't go out there to save me. :imdrowning: :rotflmao:

Buds - I’m the least sporty person in the family. When I put on the blades now, I freeze. I go to the beach and just sit on the mat and watch kids. Give me a good book and I won’t move. Luckily DH is happy to do sports with kids, especially DS.

I like that too. Just lie down on mat, with or without a book, enjoying the breeze whispering sweet gentle wave sounds, under a nice shady tree… aaahh…

Going to jump into the pool now.


Last day of school hols.
Have fun!

Just back from West Coast Park with family. I hibernate at Macdonald's while DH & DC went blading... Good way for kids to get away from computer & DH to get exercise. :imanangel:

It is rather warm today and hope you have a good time enjoying the aircon in McDonald.

I actually sat outside so that it was easy for DH & DC to come over to get their water bottles.

Lone Survivor was indeed interesting & very thought provoking. I jumped a few times in my seat and squirmed during the aiyoh-that-looks-like-it-hurts parts. The story invokes thoughts on rules of engagement. Rules are rules. May be understood on paper and theory but in that reality crunch, a person's gotta do what a person's gotta do.


A good story of survival not just between mates but band of brothers... and that not all are extremists though deemed so just because they share the same race or religion.

There are good people in the world.

The only complaint I have about this movie is...why didn't they think of hiking the hostages up the moutains till they can get a phoneline reception and a good far enough distance from the enemies :? They can release the hostages at that point and they do not have to break the rules of engagement plus there is a higher chance to retreat safely.

I vacuumed the floor just now. 2moro will just wash the floor rugs.

Then have plenty of time to yak at KSP :rahrah:
Maybe mop the floor as well since hair/dust already picked up....easy job.
