Multi tasking
Ok, guess I cant multi-task as much as last time. Maybe need to upgrade PC liao.
Busy doing Christmas cards (printing, cutting and pasting) while checking emails, playing neopets and updating blog now.
Was really shocked to see 69 new emails in my regular email account.
Hmmm, really envious of Ling who sent a pic of her playing snow in Nanjing.
Me never encounter snowfall before.
Anyway, yesterday evening when to East Coast park to rollerblade with my colleagues. My 2nd attempt at rollerblading. This time, rent the blades from the rental shop.
To my horror, I really couldn't balance myself when i tried to get up. An when I starte to glided, was so scared as this time the wheels seems like rotating faster than the ones I use on my first attempt.
Then my colleague revealed that the rollerblades which i was wearing yesteray are of No. 5 wheels, which were faster than the No. 3 wheels I had last time.
As a beginner, i really feel that No. 5 wheels are too fast. I was very kan cheong when it doesn't seems to stop, even though the path is smooth an there weren't anyone blocking me. My colleagues were laughing that i was alreay so slow that if I walk, i could even be faster than i am on rollerblades.
Rained halfway. Wasted 30 mins at the pavillion, waiting for rain to stop.
Ok, at least I didn't fall while blading on normal path. I had fallen down abt thrice while learning to blade over humps. I fell because I don't have sufficient speed to cross over the hump (will drift backwards halfway and lost balance). And even though my colleagues keep asking me to bend forward, so that even if I fall, i will fall front front, which will not hurt as much if I fall backwards and hit the tail bone.
From my experience, if you are kan-cheong (panic) or scared, once you loss balance, you can't be possibly be clear enough to tell your brain and body to fall forwar.
I landed once on my back an once on my left leg. That really hurts as my left thigh bone was knocked. I had tried to fall front but no time for the reaction and landed on my left.
Manage to past the last hump successfully before returning the blades (Yes!). Don't know was it by luck.
(ZZZZZZZ too sleepy. gtg)
