I have never rollerblade or rollerskate before in my life because I though it was damn gay.












Well
I needed a new hobby anyway, my passion for fishing and aquarium died out recently for no apparent reason.

Last Saturday  me and the guys headed to east coast in the morning .
 

"I love st pats". Love thy school, wear thee  shirt.




Beautiful people everywhere cycling and roller blading, Babes was an additional bonus man.
Ever seen fat people wearing tight spandex running pants? HILARIOUS!(didnt take any picture for fear of her sitting on me if she knew)



yes I'm a pussy. I'll KEEL YOU!



Shane had his bling bling skates imported from austria
Yau rented a pair of K2 blades
and yours truely brought a pair of "branded" china blades.



Before this  I had done ample preparation at home:

Sewing extra paddings for my pants.
Planning the route which has the least amount of people.
Rehearsing how to fall gracefully at home.











With that It was ALL OR NOTHING.


Starting out for me was a killer.

Shane said the blades has to be tight to protect your ankle and I wasnt use to it. Now i know how Junior my ex-dog felt when I put that harness around him.

Sorry junior you son of a bitch.


Well friends who knows me well enough will know that I love dismantling things and fixing them back.(most of the time, I end up buying a new product)


My start was quite dumb actually.


I stood up from the chair at the rental shop.

Moved a little to get use to the wheels

Then I started moving a little forward(I didnt notice I was on a freaking slope)

When I realise I was moving when i had no intention to, I shouted to shane.

Me:How the HELL DO I STOP!
Shane: "use the back brakes like this" **taping his heel on the floor**
Me: "okay"
Me: OMG!! **looking down**
Me: "Brakes missing!!"

It came to my mind that I must have taken them out for fun few years ago.

Yea for stupidity!
**I manage to stop by facing my feet inwards eventually. Phew!



So after the initial lesson by Yau and shane
We Began our 20 years journey to the west.





The fall out boys.







Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, fall like me for everyone to see.(wa sibei poetry )





Took a break at the toilet. I got something to confess!


The toilet was empty.

The moment was right

A wall size mirror was behind us.



Everything was in place.
We found the forbidden elements of ah lian inspired photo.




Note to self :stay away from Yau the toucher.






We finally reached Bedok jetty with my butt still intact.










Chatted for few hours about some people.Hehehehe
Headed down to marine parade to visit this bubble tea cafe

They were not the usual bubble tea shop.




-"cafe" layout was quite organize
-You could choose your sugar level(0 to 100%, I choose 100%!!)
-Amount of milk to be added can be adjusted
-Sizes of cups(small medium and large)
-Straws were all neatly packed in individual plastic wrappings
-The flavors were plentiful and unique,sadly I cant recall any now -.- (Dont ask me why)


Anyway I fell for the cashier trick without putting up a fight

Me:"one small size passion fruit green tea please :)"
cashier:"extra 50 cents to get the medium one?"
**My mind starts argueing within itself whether to pay more for more drinks or be a sucker and take the small one**
me:"okay :(  "

Damn age old trick of paying a little more to get a better product.Just post the question and the customer's will argue with himself



Day ended:
Well Shane went to work around 5 plus and Yau went straight to JB.

 Awesome Ben had to wait for his bus after the guys bus came.

Awesome Ben waited for about 45 mins or so
Saw about  few hundred people alight and board the hordes of buses
Smelled a million types of perfumes and natural odours
Saw the shadow casting from the sun shift across the floor
Counted bus 39 about 4 times, bus 197 5 times and skinny ahpek on bicycle 1 time


Awesome Ben dropped a few sweat,got tired and walked towards the bus directory behind the stop

he scanned his eyes for bus 853 information.


His jaw literally dislocated and dropped


"Bus 853"
-only in service during Sun/PH
