After the gigantic fall on my poor left knee the previous week, I seriously wasn't looking forward to class. I was keen to listen to Daddy Lim's advice to wear the knee pad but also didn't want to embarrass myself. So, for a 1st time in a long time, I wore 3/4 pants to ice skating. I am usually in shorts bcos we spent so much time outdoor after ice skating class.
I wore the junior knee pads that I bought for Lil Shauna and was glad that I could squeeze in. I know that if I were to fall, the knee pads wouldn't help much with the physical pain but at least it would help psychologically during lesson.
After one week of usage by other users, the skates were better. At least I could move on ice but I was still extra careful and paying extra attention especially when I have to do the twist. Teacher Raymond only asked us to twist while going in anti-clockwise direction; I fell going clockwise the last lesson. Maybe we would be tested only on one direction?! Then I would have fell in vain! Noooooo!!!!!
The test will be next week. Zaky and I are confident of passing actually. However, I will have to think very hard about continuing Core 4 bcos I don't want to fall down. Lol. Zaky is very game though.
We headed for bfast after class before returning for practice. Lil Shauna did most of her practice herself but asked for water break shortly after hitting the ice. Zzzz. After another short practice, she asked for another break. Zzzzz. This time complete with snacks.
The lesson went fine. Teacher Raymond concentrated on her jumps and she also practice on her half-past-6 loop jump. She has a long way to go.
