I was worried about class. I was quite sure that class would be bad after such long time away from ice. At least the usual Mac bfast was good and I took comfort in the little joys of life. Haha.
The rink was crowded. I hated it when the rink is crowded bcos it makes it even more difficult for Lil Shauna to warm up and practice before class. I was too lazy to join her on ice. Anyway, she knew exactly what she had to do. I also think that it is high time for me to step away and for her to be independent.
Today was an interesting day. 1st of all, I chatted with the father of a boy. His boy took Core 2 with Zaky a few weeks back and had progressed to Core 3 now. He was trying to find out more about private lessons and praised how good Lil Shauna is. Ok, Lil Shauna thinks that she isnt that good as compared to her peers. Then, we met Lil Shauna's ex-schoolmates. They are taking Core 2 now and their mummies were again impressed with how good Lil Shauna is. They praised her and I could see her eyes shine.
Lil Shauna didn't practice too hard before it was time for lesson but she was feeling happy enuff to strike me a nice pose for picture. Must be all the praises.
Teacher Raymond said that the competition went great and asked Lil Shauna to join the next one. Haiz, I heard this like 4x and my neck already grew longer.
The lesson didn't go very well as I had expected. At the end of the class, Teacher Raymond asked if she was scared, lazy or no strength. She said "no strength" and I am quite sure that she would "die" in off ice tomorrow. Muakahahaha. Let's work hard to practice and I hope that the ice machine would come alive soon. It had been more than a week and the ice is super lousy. Lil Shauna complained about bumpy ice.
After class, while she was changing, I chatted up with a lady whom I noticed had been taking lessons for a while. The people taking classes are always the usual suspects. She too noticed Lil Shauna and commented that she is good. Wah, 4 persons in 1 day!
We then made our way for the library after class. While waiting for the lift, a teenager asked if Lil Shauna was Shauna. I looked at her and panicked if my pea brain was acting up; I have no recollection of who she is and was started to feel ashamed. Then she said that she had been reading our blog! She would be starting lesson with Teacher Raymond soon. Wah, I was very shocked. I never knew our blog has readers beyond the usual gang. Thank you!
Before we parted ways, she asked Lil Shauna to 加油! Yes, the little girl needed plenty of those.
See, interesting day, right? The little girl definitely is feeling pleased with herself and I hoped that it made her day as much as mine. More importantly, giving her the boost that she much needed to continue working hard for the sports.
