because I love cheap thrills, and I’m not afraid to just let go.
After a failure in room hunts around East, I called the ham and the hatter to join me for biking at East Coast Park. But instead of biking, I tried to conquer rollerblading.
I think that wasn’t a good idea right now, but anyway, after paying my rental and giving them my IC, I stood up and fell down instantly.
When the dude said that it’s the same sa rollerskating (which I have experience), its NOT. For one thing, blading is a straight line of wheels while skates has four and they form a square. skates’ brakes are in front. I couldn’t figure out how to stop with blades.
Inline Culture gave me kneepads and wristpads, assuming I fall flat on my face, I guess they forgot that I can fall backwards too.
So, after practicing on grass and soil, I ventured into concrete. I was skating cautiously, and always going to grassy parts for a full stop.
Guess who got cocky?
I began to skate. I skated faster, and on my last 15 minutes, there it was.
I really don’t know. But somehow I fell on my back, hit both my elbows, and thumped on my backside onto the concrete.
OMG. The pain was unbearable. Those 5 seconds of agony I was just screaming and screaming. Roel keep looking at me with this dumbstruck face, and Harmony wheeled over on her red bike to check what’s up. She didn’t hear my screams.
Roel said:
There’s Blood…
When I realized I wasn’t even close to fainting, and when the pain subsided. I began to check carefully, my right elbow took the hardest blow, as I saw blood covering my whole elbow and was bleeding. Yikes. My left elbow was fine. I began flexing all my hands, seems to be ok, I wiggled my feet and told them to move, they seem to be moving. I can still feel my neck,and my head was spared. Everything was bearable except for the backside, and maybe a bit of pride.
That kinda fucked the whole evening. While they proceeded to take of my blades, Roel returned them and Harmony stayed and a bunch of people came over to check if I was fine so they can clean and treat the wound.
I was sitting up with my feet sprawled out. I can feel my sore backside. I knew this would be terribly awful when I stood up, but I did anyway when they laid a chair near my accident.
There’s blood on my shorts when they cleaned the wound with running water. My pain tolerance was pretty ok here. And the dude treating me was like is it painful? I’m like Doi, but it’s fine.
So after they checked me for any wounds (btw, these were not people from the store, they actually ran out of First Aid stuffs, which was bollock), my neck and head were ok, back is fine, my elbows treated, and my sore backside lets me walk.
I thanked these awesome people. And we left slowly, me hobbling and cursing.
But I won’t give up blading just yet.
To my next adventure. (Which will be a month from now lol)
goodbye 2009, hello 2010.
as 2010 has started. i wish for everyone, who cannot grasp the concept of moving forward, please do now. this is a good time to start as the first day of the year gives us a sense of renewal and rebirth.
please stop thinking about the precious memories *gag* where you weren’t in the picture. that was over. finite. kapoot. as old as my bootleg faded jeans. just stop it. go and keep going. nothing to see here that should tickle your fancy anymore. nothing here you will ever need to see.
i would like to work this out with respect. so there. let’s start the new year fresh.
so i hope you stop it. you will never grow up if you keep lagging behind.
there, I hope i don’t need to see any more unwanted messages soon.
And yes, a kickass new year to all!!
