On France vs Portugal:

Hurrah Francais!!!!! Freaking Portu-GEESE finally OUT!!! Dirty players, just look at the number of yellow cards they got! C Ronaldo was crying at the end of the match...aww man crawl back to mama you $%^$^%$& bugger! Woohoo I loved Thuram, Zidane and Ribery( doesn't it sound like rubbery?) were the players that caught my eye in the game. I didn't really care about the Port players, even if they do catch my eye it's prolly cuz they committed a foul or something. Hah. Poor C Ronaldo booed every time he got the ball, even if ya dozin off you know C Ron got the ball when ya hear the thundering BOOS. LOL.

I'll...no I AM rooting for France in the finals! Should I wear my pasar malam Zidane jersey from years back? Hmmm...

Go les bleus!!! Go Zizou! Go Rubbery and gang!

On ICE-SKATING:

Weee~ Went ice-skating yesterday! It was uber value-for-money to go skating on Wednesdays, cuz students get to enjoy unlimited hours on ice, AND the rental for skates is FREE!!! Isn't that like awesome!?! With that said, each person only has to pay a total of $8.40 and you're good to go. Haha so kiasu us ended up spending 5hrs in the skating rink. Please do take off your boots and rest a lil in between, ya know give ya feet some rest.

LOL. I think I seriously abused my feet yesterday, I got nasty blisters around my ankles, and I grazed my kneecap while practising on crossovers. I think I tied my boots way too tight, that's how I got those blisters. Hmmm shall leave out tying one eyelet in future. And I was stupid enough to wear short pants( knee length) for skating, so while practising crossovers, just as I was crossing my right leg over my left, my blade got entangled with the knot of my boot, and WHAM BAM! I FELL! And that's how I 'busted' my kneecap! LOL. Okay 'busted' was over-exaggeration, but theres pus comin outta my knee cap. Aargh I don't even wanna look at it!! lol

We were skating around, and then we saw this really pro uncle, he's prolly one of the ice hockey coaches or something, and he was so nice, he guided people who were having difficulties moving on ice. So I suggested that hey maybe he could teach us crossovers! LOL. And Sharon kept bugging me to ask him, haha but I was too pai seh!!! So we ended up going round and round in circles, and poor Sharon was like" Go ask lar! Ask! ASKKKKKK!!!!!!" LOL. Boy, was it hilarious! Alas, Sharon went up to ask him and I tagged along, he started teaching us and we started practising our footwork, then this Sharon gave up!!!! But I really wanna learn crossovers so much, and being really impatient resulted in a 'busted' kneecap! LOL. I should I have tied a shorter butterfly knot. But I got up and practised it all over again.

The uncle came over and guided me along on crossover, he supported my left hand and he goes" okay bring your right leg over and just sit on your left leg...." Boy, was it tough! But I'm not gonna give up! Yeah I'm stubborn. LOL but I really love doin crossovers. And my shi fu was so nice! I think I gotta learn how to shift my weight from one leg to the other, cuz my transition wasn't too stable. And, I gotta improve on balancing on my left leg when I'm crossing my right. Wooh going back on Wednesday to practise! Wonder if shi fu's gonna be there? I hope I can get my crosspvers right by next Wed, hmm but shi fu says crossovers aren't easy to master. Hmmm GANBARU!!!

Hah there were ice hockey players around and they were skating real fast, they were practically zooming around the rink and doing their flashy hockey stops. And hockey stops create lotsa ice shavings, practically splashing ice all over us poor skaters. LOL. I recognized one of the hockey players from previous outings and he's really nice too. It was pretty intimidating when this ice hockey player skated with me when my shi fu was taking me by the hand and guiding me on my crossovers.

Oh and there was this korean family sitting by the snack bar, and there was this really, really kyuup-ta( korean for cute I think, the maid taught us hope I didn't hear that wrongly hah). He's so cute! He looks like one of those cute child actors in korean dramas!!! His brothers were skating and they got him ice balls to play with. It was so sweet! haha and he'd smile when he got ice balls. So, Sharon and I got him ice balls and he was smiling to us so cute!!! Then he said thank you in korean in that cutesy voice and he gave that lil shy smile. Awww man he's cute!

Ahhh yesterday was awesome met lotsa amazing and nice people! Haha and for a Wednesday, there were quite a number of people on ice. And, there were figure skaters practising too, They're really rich man, custom bots, coaches, gear, man! Hah but most of them were international students cuz they speak in an American slang. LOL. Inspired by the cool stuff they were doing, I tried jumping on ice and gliding on one foot while stretching my other leg behind me, LOL Sharon finds my attempts at being a figure skater hilarious. Hah didn't gimme face! LOL.

Haha I'm so looking forward to next Wednesday! Hmm if my kneecap still hasn't healed I guess I'll slap on a plaster and stick on layers of cotton wool for padding AND wear LONG pants! Haha. As for my blisters I guess I gotta burst them and wear thicker socks! Ouch! : )
