Wan & I went ice-skating on Saturday. San Jose Town Centre sets up an outdoor ice-skating rink in the town centre during the winter season every year. This year, for the first time, our firm booked the rink for a private party, entrance fees & skate rentals, snacks and hot drinks, all included. Nice, isn't it? You'd never find your firm doing such things in Singapore nor Malaysia.
It's been a long, long time since I last ice-skated. Probably remember that converted cinema (forgot the name) in Singapore, and Jurong Point. In KL, probably a couple of times at the Pyramids Shopping Centre. Even inline-skating, which I did enjoy for a time, was a memory.
But surprisingly, I adapted to the ice pretty quickly. Wan started tentatively, but by the end of the session, she can skate pretty easily. Stopping, that is another matter! Fun, fun, fun! With pastries for breakfast, coffee, hot chocolate & hot cider available... nice!!
One thing though, I cannot skate backwards... I used to be able to inline-skate backwards pretty easily, but on ice, it's quite different. Once I do a turn, I stop. Lose the momentum almost immediately. Oh well, it's been a long time. Perhaps I'll get it with more practice. But have to pay next time!
