east coast park

blogging at my lappie now. too lazy to go online to blog and half he time im online i cant seem to blog much cos there are always people to talk to, so im gonna save mine in my thumb drive then transfer it over to my PC. wahaha. damn shacked now sia. cos i went east coast park in the morning and returned late afternoon.. yeaps. it was kinda a last minute decision amongst my father's side cos they were only debating whether to go east coast or west coast. west coast would be tons more convenient as compared to east coast considering we all stay in the west but somehow they decided on east coast cos we could rent bikes and blades there mah.


so i was shook awake early in the morning at almost seven, cos they wanted to go there and get a spot or table to settle down. yeah. and i had to go online to find out the exact directions on how to get there by car cos my father's car rarely roam into the east considering we dont have relatives staying in the east. yeaps. managed to find our way there considering they said meet at the macs. yeah. only my third uncle's family and my auntie came along together with our family but we had a greatt time. whee. initially we merely settled down and considering only four adults [i.e. my dad, my mum, my third uncle and my auntie] knew how to cycle, we only rented one double bike and one single bike in order to save money and take turns riding. my mum fetched me first cos i still dont know how to bike. i stepped on hesistantly cos i dint have an inkling of how good my mum's cycling skills were so yeah. hee. had a fun ride and when we were on our way back, he called and as we were talking on the phone my mum braked suddenly causing us to fall forward and my phone literally flew out of my hand onto the floor. the back cover, battery and main phone were scattered all over. hem. i hurriedly put the pieces back together [of course with my mum's help] and resumed talking on the phone. scraped my knees a little but im alright. wahaha. then went off to talk on the phone by the seaside before being called over for 'guard duty' [i.e. guard the table of food and valuables] while the rest went to play. weilun [my cousin] rented blades and he was blading for the first time and he had trouble walking and my mum was there laughing away while holding on to him making sure he doesnt lose his balance. yeah. hee. at that point in time my sis and my other cousin [weiping] was there learning how to ride bicycles. hee. i dont know how to ride bicycles too. wahaha. then while my sis was stubbornly trying to learn, this uncle rode over and tried to teach my sis how to ride the bicycle. he came over three times. must have thought my sis required critical help, or saw her as a disgrace or eyesore to the cyclists. grin. so after that you could see four idiots trying to learn how to ride bicycles w/o falling over [yes i admit i was one of the four idiots. "D]. after that i got abit xian cos we were actually taking turns learning over four bicycles so i actually suggested to my mum i wanted to try blading. she gave me this very dubious look while my dad tried to talk me out of it. hee. as usual, me and my stubborn self. so my mum gave in and she came with me to rent the blades. one guy helped me get the correct size and tightened the blades for me before helping me over to the rink. bad news. i dint have any idea how to start blading so there i was clinging onto the side metal bar for help and 'duck-walking' at the same time [i.e. walk with knees bended, butt out, and feet in a v-shaped position]. i duck walked around [while clinging onto the metal bar] for a while before this nice lady came over and tried to teach me tricks for a beginner. she was real nice. she talked me through the procedures and im proud to say that after the one hour rental, i can blade slowly without holding on to the metal bar and i can stop [of course, i was within 30cm region of the metal bar just in case i need to grab it.] and duh, yes i fell three times. ouch. three times and i landed on my butt three times. the second time when i was trying to get up using the metal bar to pull me up, i slipped and hit the bar with my chin. oww. painful. sniff. but it was fun blading. in the rink. i cant imagine blading together with other people along the cyclists path. i think i'll be grabbing onto my mum's hand for dear life. wahaha. then me my sis and weiping went down to the beach to play with the seawater. my sis and weiping ganged up on me and got me wet. whine. and i was wearing white [but of coursem with SB under]. duh. then we slacked around abit more before leaving at about 2pm.. damn tired la so fell asleep in the car. initially my parents wanted to go see the fireworks at the merlion park area, but after seeing how tired we were and considering the crowds there tonight [cos there would be concerts there with people like energy, 5566, cyndi wang etc] and the next day is a holiday, they decided not to. instead, we'll all stay at home and catch the last espisode of the channel 8 7pm chinese serial 'xi ling men'. grin. my mum's current favourite show. and it ends tonight.
