Inline Skating Level 3 - Lessons Resumed

6 Nov was the starting of our skating lesson for Level 3. Unfortunately, G was not feeling well on that evening, so we insisted that he should stay at home to rest.

We started off with the revising of skills learnt in Level 1 and Level 2, and everything seemed okay despite the long one-month rest for the October exam period.

But when the instructor started to introduce the Stride 3, which required the lifting up of a leg at each time and skating in longer strides, and balancing with body-swinging movements, we were like 'urghhhh'... Tough mann....

All of us did not fare well for this segment.... really need to put in more efforts and extra practices on our own to master this...

K can't wait to show-off his wet look of his hair...

Qiang...qianggggg...hair sticking down all over his head....

On 13 Nov, we learnt backward swizzle for our 2nd lesson. This move is not easy also; it's just like swimming using backstroke; moving backward, without looking behind and maintaining good coordination on your leg movements.

It really seems like from Level 3 onwards, the strides and skills are gettting more challenging for us...

Gotta find time during weekends to practice and brush up our skills....

当我们同在一起！

这就是我们Farrer Gathering聚集的度假屋。

十八年前,我的第一次Chalet就是在这里度过的， 不过当时对这里印象不深，因为其实是妙玲的小学同学兼朋友聚会，她就拖着我一起来，顺便介绍她的朋友给我认识。 可是，记得那时在这个chalet里，我玩得并不愉快，因为大多时候都被那群朋友戏弄，拚命的把我和当中的一个大胖子凑合在一起，把我给弄哭了好几次。 Chalet 过后，还有跟大伙儿出去，我现任的老公便是其中一个比较谈得来的。。。所以这个Chalet该算是我和老公初相识的地方了。

如今重游此地，Chalet好相一点都没变，就连游乐场的设施还是跟以前一模一样。 Admin Office 前墙上写着这座度假屋是于1973 年11 月11 日开幕的， 哇噻！比我还老耶！

At about 10 pm, those who were supposed to stay in the chalet arrived. And from night till dawn (about 7.30 am), we were playing cards and gambling... I was declared the winner of that day!

We played various types of poker card games...got 'Chor Dai Di', Indian Poker, BlackJack, Thai Black Jack and In-Between.

There were so much fun and laughters throughout the night, and around 4.30 am, our neighbour, a fierce fatso lady, was standing right in front of our door (cos' we kept our door wide-open) and scolding us for being so noisy and inconsiderate...oops!

You think we care? Of course not! We just gave her face and closed our door, and continued our loud laughings and shoutings and yellings! We would be ignoring the fatso if she comes and knocks on our door again! In the end, she didn't come at all.... maybe she got use to our noises as her lullaby....

On the Sat night, we had our BBQ. From 7 pm onwards, our friends started streaming in and I was glad that the turnout was well-received with 15 friends (13 Farrer, 2 spouse). The BBQ session ended around 1 am, and by then we cleared our stuff and adjourned to our chalet...

There were 8 of us staying back in the chalet, and our next part of the programme was to finish up the 12 bottles and another 18 cans of Tiger Beer. 3 of them went to bed, left the other 5 of us to play poker card games throughout the morning and by 8.30 am, we gulped all up... Hurray!

This is also my 1st time in life to drink so much beer and didn't get drunk! I was amazed with myself! Hahaha!

Overall, this gathering was a great success! And I am sure everyone who turned up had brought home with very good memories of the event!

Cheers!

Viewing of Exam Papers

30 October was the day for the viewing of GK's exam papers...

As seen in previous two entries of their results, GK has shown improvements in this SA, except for G's Mother Tongue....

Though it was a relief that both of them had passed their exam papers, but when we were going through the exam papers, we felt that they could have attained better results, especially in the Maths paper. The questions in the papers were not difficult, and both of them have made quite a lot of careless mistakes in the papers...

After some time of 'brainwashing' from Dad, GK seemed to understand and did feel guilty of their mistakes....

But anyway, they have done the exams, nothing much can be done to turn back the clock... just hope that they will do well for next year.

Now is the time to enjoy the holidays...

G's Reward - Most Well-Behaved Pupil in Class for the Day

On 23rd October, that was the last day of the exam papers for GK, the form teacher got the class to do a drawing on a big cardboard. It was a theme about 'Under the Sea'. Every children was supposed to contribute and complete the drawing of their ideal 'sea'.

At the end of the day, the form teacher wanted to award the drawing to the most well-behaved pupil of the day...

And G was so honoured to be awarded with the prize.....

心情分裂

昨天，原以为阿鹏能够联络到多几个我认识的朋友一块儿吃晚餐，结果全都没办法赴约，就只剩我和阿鹏两个。

我6点钟抵达Railmall, 等不到5分钟，他出现了！15年后的重逢，感觉是有点欢喜加上一点甜蜜，因为他曾是一个让我到现在都难以忘怀的旧情人。

面对面坐着，互眼望着，起初还有点儿不自在。。。点了食物之后，就在等待的当儿，话匣子便打开了，我们的言语和眼神交流也逐渐变得自然得多了。

谈了彼此的工作，家庭和周围的朋友的近况，真是感慨于时间的飞逝。。。我们都成长了，思想上和心灵方面已偏向于比较注重家庭，亲情和友情。。。

这次的相会，也解答了我心中的一些疑问：

1）他已经结婚5年了。 太太今年30岁，在一间旅行社任职；
2）他并没有把丽萍（my junior)追到手； 她反而嫁给了他的朋友（senior);
3）他已经忘记当初我们为什么会分手，所以无法记起当时的心情；
4）他相信如果我们没那么快分手的话，至少还可以在一块儿到他的Poly生涯。因为他修读Nautical 的两三年里，必许航海，去一趟就得花上整半年在海上，所以相信我们也会因为少见面而疏远。。。
5）我让他知道了当时和他分手的原因。 他轻松的笑过。。。
6）他安慰我叫我放心，他已有另一半了。。。

就这样聊了大约两个小时，我们彼此道别，我就徘徊在附近，等待小学同学们的到来。

大约9点15分，我们的校花到了。看她骑着她那辆白色的Anna Sui Scooter, 好有气质喔！真难以想象这么斯文的一个女生，又是新航的空姐，竟然爱骑摩多车。当她透露如果下个星期有空挡赴我们的BBQ之约，她会骑另一辆 - Harley Davidson去。我的妈呀！她现在是我们男生中的偶像兼人气王了， 佩服！

这个聚会本想商量chalet的食物分量，结果有三个人临时不能来，所以昨晚又变成是个聊东南西北的聚会，一直到十二点钟才散会。

总结昨晚的6小时里头，我感觉已经经历了两种截然不同的情感分势和心情起伏。。。。 一抵达家里，马上冲了个热水澡后就倒头睡着去了。简直是太精疲力竭了。。。。
