SKATING! I am so jealous. T.T

I want to go skating so badly~! If I close my eyes, it's like I can feel the cold ice under my feet. *laughs* Though it's probably more the memory of SNOW outside, rather than an ice rink.. BUT STILL.

Besides the utter JEALOUSY, I'm really glad you're in one piece. xD Just take it easy and learn in your own time! I'm sure I suck even more than you. :)

Damn... I really wanted to try and teach you, though! You'll go with me one day, won't you? I can't even practice on my own here since they're all CLOSED - I'll be the one who's embarrassed. T.T

Babe, if it helps, the rink was full of people, and the tiny kids were like missiles, and I kept apologetically falling into a lot of people. *laughs*

There is snow at the rink too! After a lot of the ice has been skated off the rink, it looks like little drifts of snow pile up along the sides.

I mean, you'll be here soon, right? I kind of am worried about going with you because you've said that skating tends to mean accidents for you, and I really really don't want you breaking your wrist or anything else while over here!

And don't worry - you really won't embarrass yourself. You had lessons and I think you can actually skate! I am like - SELF-SCHOOLED SKATER, and not even a passable one at that yet!

THAT DOES NOT HELP! xD I should've been there with a hockey stick to knock them all off the ice for you. *laughs*

Uhm! xD Snow at an ice rink is usually not a very good thing, I think. Oohh, little_ribbon would throw a snowball at you! xD

I think I'm arriving on the 6th (there's issues with my ticket >.>), so yes! VERY SOON. *freaked out!*

LOL! Your last two paragraphs: CONRADICTION?! xD I have actually not broken anything for a while, and that last time was NOT MY FAULT DESU NO! ^^;; I will be fine, I just don't want to way 'til September or OCTOBER for the ice rinks here to open up again! I'll have lost interest by then. *g*

I have crutches at home. NO PROBLEM! *dies* xD

Stop bringing yourself down, though~! Skating in Singapore doesn't sound very convenient, so you should be proud of yourself for wanting to learn it and taking such a big step! I'm sure you're better than you think. :)

*laughs!* Nah, too many of them to knock off the ice, sweets. You knock off one, and three more will take their place. ;) There are that many.

There's not enough snow to throw a snowball, darling. Well, you could throw one - a very very small henachoko snowball. That I will laugh at.

... you're arriving on the 6th? I'll still be working when you come. But you're going to be here for the Potter book release on the 21st? That means you'll be here for over two weeks? Oh. How long are you here for, this time?

Aha. You're not the only one freaked out. ... that's... you'll be here in three weeks!

LAUGHS. But you won't be at home, you'll be here! Your crutches back home are going to do you... not a whole lot of good! if you're going to be over here!

HAHAHAHA, sweetie! You're so cute. Don't make it sound as good as all that, I'm just a kid who wants to learn how to skate. It isn't that remarkable or special. ;)

WOW ICE SKATING!! omg fun! i haven't been ice skating in YEARS D8 like whoa... XD aww, *snickers*
AND OMG I KNOW! friggen little children... >> they make me feel so crappy... i mean I'm over here grabbing onto the walls for support... and they're all in the middle doing little spins and jumps and fancy moves and all of that jazz... I MEAN WHAT IS THAT DX its not fair... and not only that but it makes ME want to try them.. which is STUPID of me, but i end up trying anyway... so the next thing i'm trying to do is skate backwards... (which i DID do one time... but... ==;; don't know if that'll ever happen again) and THEN tried to jump... wow.. just no... no... just... NO... TT__TT

but it sounds like you had fun XD;; or at least i HOPE you enjoyed youself... it SOUNDS fun.. so.... - -; ok nevermind... but yea : ) *thumbsup*

*grin* Ice skating is incredibly fun! ;) And I hadn't been ice skating in years until yesterday! *smiles*

I AGREE with you on the little kids! My heavens, they're little miracles on the ice! *grin* I'm glad you want to try them, though, myself, I look at them and go, "... I am not gonna do anything like that for a couple of years. XD" As long as you don't get hurt! *snug!* For jumping and skating backwards I think one might benefit from real coaching - I don't think jumping is something I can teach myself - unless I want to pay the price in injuries. Eheh.

I did have fun! *beams* And yes, I enjoyed myself! ;) I hope you get to have some ice-skating fun soon, too! ;)

(Jimmy, I'm, um, just gonna check on Katie, alright?)

... I'll be turning up in my shirt sleeves (well, okay, T-shirt) and pants next weekend XD It's really not that cold on the rink as long as you don't fall down!

I think many of us here clinging to the rails are self-schooled skaters as well and oh, I really don't think that you'll make a fool out of yourself! ♥ I'll be busy clinging to the rails the first round, if past visits are any indication XD

"They really put the bone! in Zamboni!" XDDD And yes, fresh ice can be addictive. They'll be resurfacing the ice at 1pm, that's why I suggested that we go then. And we'll have 20mins to select and put on our skates before they open the rink again!

Should I bring Skittles? ♥ XD

I agree completely! *beams* You're going to be back soon, right? ;) Let's catch up and go skating when you're home! ;) I think you're gonna be great, so I'll have to ask you to forgive my beginner stumbles. *grin*

some spoiled brat whom my mother babysitted (WHY AM I ALWAYS TAKING CARE OF SPOILT CHILDREN?) and took figure skating classes told me that she actually feels warm in her leotard ^^; (I think she might be one of those little kids you're talking about. but oh god.) I think it's either the amount of energy you're burning or the leotard itself *shrugs*

I'm glad you're so quick at learning to skate XD My first time on the ice was when my kouhai demanded we go on a sectional outing to..er..bond. And I discovered my bum really enjoys bonding with the floor more than I enjoy bonding with my section xD I can't skate still. The entire outing involved me skating shakily on my own then ramming into the railing (it's dangerous when I get high from that feeling D|) or someone dragging me around by the hand.

You were at JE? D8

*grin!* Because you are Guy, and spoilt little children are destined to feature in your life? ;) I think it's probably the amount of energy she's burning and the intense skating. Though I wouldn't put it past the skating outfits to be made of some supremely miraculous insulating material.

*grin!* I wouldn't call what I do skating just yet ;) But I'm only quick because I didn't want to repeat my previous clinging-to-walls and never learning anything outings to skating rinks, and also because I am obsessive. ;)

*giggles!* I like the way you said that! I think lunch and food gatherings are the best ways to bond, really. ;) *snugs you!* I kind of skating hand-in-hand with someone (or rather, arm-in-arm, because the support comes in handy), but that person has gotta be ready for my WHOOPS I have LOST my balance and must HOLD ON to you moments. ;) If you ever want another go at skating, let me know! *grin*

Yes, I was there! *beams* It's a really lovely place, actually, and the library is absolutely beautiful. ;)

I will be the mother with the iron rod of discipline in future =u=; i think i had 3 major encounters so far XD The above mentioned skater, a diver girl when I was 15, I encountered her again at age 17 orz;;; and then bocchan (11 years old) this time round |||

I..uh..probably will not have another go at ice-skating for fear of throwing my face XD I'm avoiding the library actually. I owe them lotsa money.
