Inline Skating

Just got back from skating session at NUS.

Inline Skating. What some people refer to as rollerblading (not the proper name but because the brand of the skate is too in line with the sports)

I got my first pair of skates when I was in primary school. I fell on my tailbone and then never skated that pair of skates again haha.

first pair of skate!

I got my next pair in Sec 3 or 4 and self learn on my own in my void deck once in a while.

When I got to NUS, I went for a couple of skating sessions and found that I really liked it!

I improved my skating skills by leaps and bounds since then, and tried the different skating paths: sliding, slalom, inline hockey, teaching, and urban skating. Along the way I picked up more injuries than I have ever had in my life haha (sore wrist, abrasions on the knee, elbow, hand, deep cut on the chin, and my most expensive ever: two avulsed front teeth (means the entire tooth was pulled out). I did get my teeth reimplanted and my other injuries healed up with some scarring but what an expensive lesson on safety... I could have bought 2 pairs of the best skates available with what I spent LOL

Braces to hold my teeth in place...my friend refused to take a pic of the bloody one without teeth

Despite all these misfortune that befell me last year, I grew to become a more careful and stable skater. I am really proud of myself for being able to stand up from these setbacks, keep calm and continue skating!

One of the reasons why I wanted to come back to skating was because of all the friends I have made through skating (other than loving the feeling of skating! WHEEEE!)

Joining the SKATING CLUB EXCO was one of the best decision in University. The friends that I made during that year that we served and the time spend together organising events and skating sessions was one of the most memorable time of my life.

First task as Vice President: Promote the club at matriculation fair

Just some of the awesome times we had!

In fact we are going to play paintball together in malaysia and then have a X'mas gift exchange afterwards!

My university journey could also be called my skating journey. When I come back from exchange, I shall cherish my final year in university by skating lots!!!
