Lil Shauna had her ice skating full ice on Thursday morning and I could accompany her at the rink with my laptop. It was nice to be able to see her do her lesson.
The full ice was super crowded with a mixture of advance skaters and what appeared to be non-skaters. Hmmmm.. was it a public ice session? Fortunately, nobody got seriously knocked over; the skaters all have common sense to give way to the very advance skaters who would be executing that very difficult jump. Speaking of which, I saw how the skaters cleared the ice when one of the advance skaters started her program and filled the ice after she had completed her very difficult jump. I was reminded of the railway market in Bangkok. Hoho.
Lil Shauna was practicing her program for her elementary test. At the end of the session, she exclaimed how expressive she was with her hands during the program. Got meh? How come I never see?
What I saw was her attempt at camel, sit and scratch spin, a combination required for her test and how she flop on the ice bcos she couldn't hold her spin. Hahaha. She has plenty of work to do.
Bcos Lil Shauna had other commitments on last Sunday afternoon, Zaky took jiejie's usual Sunday session with Coach Raymond. This is his 2nd individual lesson.
We arrived slightly earlier to warm up. While he doesn't have expensive Zuca bag, I at least bought him a backpack to carry his skates instead of the recycled bag. The skates can be safely and securely tucked at the side pockets.
I also bought him skating pants. With the right attire, his pro-ness increased by a notch, regardless of whether he can really skate or not. Haha. The pants have also lengthen his legs and the oversize T-shirt covered his tummy. Wah, so 显瘦! What he needs is a face mask to hide his chubby face lah.
Zaky hit the ice and had forgotten what he was taught the last lesson. *Palm-face* I vaguely remember the mohawk, the backward crossover and got him to practice those.
It was more 3-turns and footwork during lesson and he was also taught how to do 2-foot spins. We continued practicing after lesson and I was so reminded of the times when Lil Shauna was little. Bcos Zaky is older, he also grasped concepts easier. He is a lot more daring too as compared to when Lil Shauna 1st started her individual lessons. What doesn't change is how they all whined to leave the ice after short practice. Zzzzz.
Lessons for the kids have been booked for December. With 2 kids on the ice, it also meant more pain on the pocket. Aiyo.
