Just fun in every way possible haha

Went roller-blading with Jared, Shingster(Samuel Shing), Suraj and Timothy in the morning

Got there rather late as we were supposed to meet at ECP's McDonald's at 9.30 A.M and I was still at home at 10 haha............ Good thing really as the rest of them arrived at 10 and ate their breakfast there....... By the time I got there at around 10.15 A.M........ We were, more or less, ready to begin lol

I am proudly stating that I only fell 4 times today :) Not counting those when my body just lost balance but was able to touch the ground and regain balance before any real damage was done......... Also not counting the times when we were playing catching in the skating ring and Suraj, Shingter and I were falling left and right haha

After renting our skates......... Skated for like less than 5 minutes before it rained......... Found shelter from the droplets of death and I was just practicing how to turn and stop......... Even after skating on two occasions....... I have never really managed to grasp the concept of stopping and turning....... This is due to the fact that whenever I try to stop or turn the 'normal' way....... One leg shuts down..... They come together and I lose balance......... This is due to me having a hig center of gravity and a narrow base haha.......... Side note........ I can now turn in a wide arc..... Not one to be turning sharply anytime soon lol

After the rain stop we tried to skate on the road...... Shingster started by falling on every puddle of water....... Maybe that was an exaggeration but not really far off from the count haha........ Suraj fell down on the spot once and that was very WTF-ish lol......... At least they made good progress for first timers.......... I preferred to play safe most of the time and only turned when necessary as I tend to speed up when there's a straight path ahead

Shortest. distance. traveled. ever for an ECP trip............ This time we hadn't even gotten to Bedok Jetty before we turned back and headed back to the skating ring.......... The slippery terrain made the road rather hard to traverse on our less than stable devices....... At least for me it was........ The ring was much more fun(for me.... Not too sure for Jared and Timo)..... Took a few pictures there but am too lazy to upload

Returned the skates just before the rent-time was over.......... Just as we wanted to go to Parkway for lunch....... It rained again la........ Weird weather it was today........ Anyway took a bus to Parkway and we started talking about Red Alert 2 for some reason hmm

Lunch at Parkway...... That sounded heading-ish......... Anywho........ Went to the arcade and watched for a bit...... Ended up spending 1 + 2 dollars on Pinball machines haha....... The reason I said that was because of me paying SGD1 and Suraj footing the rest...... I said that this was payment for the locker....... I think he has already over-paid me.... Not complaining haha

The Pinball machines were suck-ish........ The Lord of the Rings cheat my money one la....... Didn't have time to check that the left bumper was a little faulty la......... SO...... Anything that was to the left to the machine was fired back with pitiful force......... Haiz.... It was, in theory, exactly the same as the one I played at an airport at Melbourne........ But functionally........ It was like world's apart....... Didn't even hit a million points :(

Another 2 simoleons were spent on Simpsons Pinball....... I blame bad timing and distractions to slide the blame off me haha....... Those 2 games turned into 3 games for some reason....... Not complaining when life throws me a lifeline this time haha......

After that....... Everyone was thinking of playing LAN but figured out that we could more or less play all those games over a network at anyone of our houses lol......... Everyone went off but me and was stuck there waiting for my parents....... No time wasted though as I read more than a hundred pages of Exodus before my parents came

Nothing much happened after that....... Or rather too lazy to type it out....... Shopped...... Went to my cousin's birthday....... Got home...... haha

Random Notes:

This is the part I hate............. The read to wait ratio is very low lol......... I am more or less finished with Exodus

Trying to store study vibes(good ones) in me....... Releasing them tomorrow when I start chioning physics

I ended up laying 20 matches of Narutimate just to oil and polish my skills......... All against Neji to train teching timing haha

EDIT: Changed all reference to Timo back to original spelling........ Though I still have no idea how to spell lol

Signing Off............ After all that has happened........ Where's your messiah now? Forgot which video game character said this lol
