This day was exciting! I went down early to the ice-skating rink and managed to borrow the skates! The lesson was great! I keep saying it was 4 hours but it started at 630 and ended at 8. The coach( bob) was friendly and spoke english just for me! Since i was a amatuer, he gave me one-to one-coaching! cool, right! And the place was open till 10. Although i was tired, i decided to keep on practicing till then to make full use of my moneyyy. And then, another coach came in and started to help me out! hahah! Dutch ppl are just so nice! Even though i wasn't his student, he looked after me till 10pm :) And instructed me and stuff. I really learnt a lot that day! And to add on to all these stuff, it was my first time trying out speed skates! It took me about 5 mins to get used to it cos it's difficult to lift my knees. My coach then taught me to slide sideways to move. And then..WOW! The skates were a lot faster than normal ones! At the end of the lesson, for the ~3+ hours that i was skating, I was making 1 round every 2-3 minutes or so, on the average. Cos the coach will into me to a new technique and ask me to practice it for several rounds before going on to another one. I should have done ~40 rounds in total that day! that's like... 16km ald! OMG! hahah! great day! no pics though!
