Skate Skate Skate...

Recently haze nearly caused me to be sick.
LAST Saturday I experimentally taught a student from Finesse in East Coast. Good experience, but I was too serious. The boss emphaize that one cannot teach if he/she is too serious. The main problem here is that I have no confident, although the lady is a rich banker and is pretty.

After that class, I skated around to scout for *friendly. Then I saw Jerry. He told me that he was going for a CHC party at somewhere after Bedok Jetty. I followed to get a drink as I was getting throat irritation back then. Once there I found a spot and relaxed with my mp3 buddy. Then suddenly there is this guy that came walking to me and we started chatting. Soon, I realised that he was wearing CAPCOM shirt and learned that he is a full time game review writer. That means, he gets to play all console games for free and earns 1.8k per month. So cool, hence i got his number =D.

Then later that celebration suddenly Jerry became a birthday boy (his birthday is this coming friday, they celebrated earlier for him). They tried to SABO him all the way. In the end he got thrown down to the sea and got all wet =S. The celebration ended with Jerry and I demo our slalom skill to promote that sport.


THE following day I accompanied my friends to their skating demo. It's meant to promote a skating company that gives lessons. I followed with the intention of enjoying the block party and give them moral support ONLY. Then when I reach there they gave me a company shirt and asked me to join in the demo. The whole demo wasn't well coordinated as it was a last minute effort. We had a bit of embarrassment and a lot of fun for it. That day I felt like I am already part of their company. They treated me to dinner, asked me to join in the demo and I participated in some of their discussion.


THE following day, Monday, I had my regular skating session. After lights out, I chatted for quite a while with Edmund (another skater). Then I realised that I should try Stair Riding as it's part of the urban skill. We winded up at 888. My first attempt was rather unstable. Second one went better. Third time I fell like a paper (edmund mentioned the paper), soft and impactless. Getting an aberration of the size bigger then 2 50cent coin, I was adviced to stop trying for the day. I will definitely learn to Stair Ride one day.


THE following day I went for instructor training with Finesse. Later that day I was in ChongZheng Primary to help them out and learn at the same time. That day I really learnt a lot as I corrected a problematic student. Later that day I was back to HomeGround to skate. By now I have sort of gain control over a Korean move (looks good!) which I have been practicing for like 3 days. Other than that, nothing much interesting happened.
