My ice-skating disaster.

Kebar, you really need to work on your pic-taking skills. Mr Snowman lost half his head in this. tsk tsk. =P

Me, bibik, Emy, Te'ah and Paan with 2 very weird guys. (LoL~)

So I went ice-skating yesterday night with some of my batch and some 5th meds. It was really fun (when i didn't fall). But i did fall. Three times! Each time worse than the last.

First, I fell on my bum. Hugely embarrassing, but I was otherwise fine.

The second time was a slightly more painful experience. I was (very) slowly and happily making my way around the ice rink when one of the 5th med (I don't know his name) grabbed me from behind, tugged on my arm and caused me to fall backwards and hit my head on the ice. It hurt like hell. I even saw stars for a second or two. Then, after one of the workers helped me up to my feet, this senior of mine had the nerve to brush off the ice from my back.

"Hey, not only did you make me fall, you're trying to molest me now? Sheeesh, stop touching my behind already!!" was what i said in my head.

“No, it’s okay, no problemo. I can do that myself." was what I said to him.

Anyways, he apologized. So no harm done~

The third time was the worst. I was skating with Emy in the middle of the rink. There wasn't many people in the middle so we tried experimenting with our skates. Emy was trying to skate backwards or something and I was making small circles (not intentionally tho, I just kept going around in circles cos my left leg won't move to my will). So anyway, I really can’t remember what happened next. All I know is that I somehow slipped and fell hard on my face, hitting my lower jaw on the ice. I don't know why I didn't break the fall with my hands. It happened so fast, I probably didn’t have time to react (that’s just a theory).

Now, if the second fall had hurt like hell, this third one was 10 times worst! All I could think of at that moment was "Oh God, don't let me lose my teeth". I was very sure i did, cos the pain was excruciating. I didn't, thank heavens! And I didn't bite my tongue or anything.

But dang, how it hurt!!!

I had such a nasty fall, two or three people came over to help. One guy kept asking me if i was alright. "Yes yes, I'm fine" I told him. "You sure?” He asked again. I probably didn't look too good at that point. "Yes, I'm sure" I said.

Secretly i thought to myself - "Oh please don't make a fuss. I've already bruised my face and my knees; need you bruise my ego as well?"
After I told him I was fine for the millionth time, he proceeded to help me up on my feet. Only he literally had to haul me up cos I was still hurting and shaky at the knees but too proud to admit it. He was a big man, no problem there. Then Emy helped me get to the edge of the ice rink where it was safe. The guy followed us.

My jaw was sore, and I was very ready to get out of that place. But since our time was almost up anyways, I thought, “Heck I'll just weather this last 5 minutes through.” So I stayed close to the side with Emy - nursing my throbbing jaw, my bruised chin, my aching back, knees, face, head, everything; while the guy kept coming and asking me if I was alright. When they finally opened the gates, he even came to help me out. Good man! =)

So that’s it - the story of my ice-skating disaster. I paid €10 to get myself bruised and beaten; and I even got to take home a mild concussion for freebies.

Not bad.

Not bad at all~

We should really do this more often, huh gang? =P

(erghh.. my head still hurts from last night~)
