Ice Skate and the lesson learnt
After disappearing for such a long time, finally gain back the feeling of penning my thoughts in a leisure way. When you have lighten away your burdens, you have more time to do the things you like, express the things you always wanted, but never got the chance.
Its my first time to ice skating, its more fun than roller blading. I do not know how to roller blade too, but I do not really have the desire to roller blade actually. But ice skating is different, it seems so carefree, and the environment is different.
Went to Jurong East to the ice rink with Mel, Susan, Huixian and Stella, here is a photo and video of hw it looks like. Seems quite cramp cause they enclosed a certain part of it for coaching. Caused $11.60 for students and $2 for gloves.
For first timer, I considered having a hard time learning to skate. The experience was bad and good. Bad cause it hurts the feet a lot. Good cause its really very different environment to be in. Boy, I did not know that the shoes are supposed to be damn tight, and I mean damn tight till it hurts in the front part so much that it felt like being cut off. Ya, a mean of exaggerating but real pain. But its not that its too small cause the person measured the dimensions before prescribing the shoes.
And I really got a bad balancing skill. I cannot even stand on the blades upright for too long. After struggling in the rink for about an hour or so while Mel and the rest occasionally came to help out, someone came by and told me that mine is too loose and advised me to change them. He said that the blades are slanted. After changing it, it only gets better for a while, as 3 new friends hold my hands and guide me to skate, then it became too loose cause I keep slanting it inwards.
Actually, there is something very obvious to me. All along until someone came to help me, I was struggling and holding onto the rink, refusing to let go at all means. I will never fall like that, but also I will never learn. Indeed, I am too afraid to even step out of my comfort zone. Not too comfortable, but still bearable.
Untill finally few people came by and willingly help me out by holding onto my hands and guide me along. Though I cannot balance, since I keep slanting inwards, but suddenly, at least I am away from the rink. I never fall since they are still holding onto my hands.
It just dawn onto me that actually, all along, sometimes the one who can help you with certain things may not be your friends. Not that they don't want to, but don't know how to. The ones to get you to higher heights must be someone who is willing and has the competence. Indeed, at least I move out of my old comfort zone and move on.
The fear of falling is still there, they said it was not pain, but the thought of falling just fears me. The next step once I am able to balance to walk successfully should be to walk without guidance... that is to overcome my fear.
Another thing was that a coach also came by to give a few pointers along the way, he said that as a beginner, I should take real small real small steps. Don't try to go too much. A little correctly is better than a lot wrongly. One step at a time. Isn't that like how I should treat life? Some things I want, but to get there, I expect fast results. Should not everything go through the process like a small seed?
And lately, been receiving an anonymous person giving negative comments. And this blog is for myself to express my feelings and thoughts which maybe in the natural normal conversation, its too deep or too reflective to be conversed. There just to let whoever know that giving stupid remarks and not stating your name can be extracted from "anonymous" = annoying! I shall blog whatever I like, not happy? Don't read then!
