flo's bday part 1!
Haha. Leekoon's version of Florence's birthday is super funny. Ok so why she is blogging about the later part of Florence's birthday is because we used different cameras to take photos. Mine was during iceskating and it ran out of battery. It honourably risked the chance of being crushed when I fall onto the ice. Haha. Leekoon, pengrong and me decided to meet earlier to buy Florence's present and the cake. Then we went around looking for her present. Haha. Leekoon and Pengrong were both wearing black! So sorry for being a bit bright. Then we were walking and talking and Leekoon suddenly came up with this idea of calling Pengrong 'xiao-mei'. Lol. And there was Choo xiao mei.After buying the presents, it was still early so we went over to check out the kbox price because we almost changed to kbox since only a few of us know how to iceskate. But it was imbah ex. $20. So we went to the iceskating place and looked around. There were only 2 skaters then they were imbah pro. Then we were like how come there is no other noobs around, later we go in then got 2 pros and 8 noobs there how? But luckily it was just a performance by the people from the national team. wow. After that, the ring resumed to have some noobs, some pros and some intermediates. Then we sat down and looked at them for a while and Pengrong began to tell us about how his fingers almost get chopped off by the skates. Please ah, it was a super wrong timing to say that story because we were about to go and skate and he gave the impression that your fingers will get chopped off anytime when you get into the ring.So we went to the mrt station to fetch our fellow classmates and then we realised we were short of 1 person to form groups of 4 which will be cheaper and got unlimited time to ice-skate inside. So Leekoon managed to persuade Baona to come and join us. While we waited for her to come, we went to arcade to play. Edwin, Yusiang, Leekoon and Florence played the basketball and they managed to get into the 2nd round. Not bad. Then Florence and Yusiang played Time Crisis. Yusiang quite zai, can shoot super fast.
Then we went to the iceskating place. Got our skates and put our stuff in locker and we began to skate. Starting was a bit difficult then you could see this bunch of people clutching the side of the ring. Like this:
Another group photo of the 8 of us, taken by an uncle who is pro in iceskating. He joined in the speedskating. wow.
So we iceskated for a few rounds then Leekoon went to remind the person to play the dedication for Florence. The PA system was not very good and the message was not very clear but anyway, there was a happy birthday song which was quite old and slow and bubbles floating down. We intended the bigger kind of bubbles but the effect of this one was not bad too. Like snow like that. We skated to the center where the bubbles were floating down from and took photos.
Florence with the 'snow' on her hair. Cannot really see in this picture.
Picture of the female lead and the male lead. But the male lead changed halfway. Haha. Shall elaborate later.
Leekoon and I with the birthday girl!
At 4pm, there was resurfacing of the ice. But before that, there was a speed skating round which was to skate at your own risk because everyone was skating at super fast speed and the impact when you fall down will be super great. But of course, everyone doing the speed skating were pros and no one fell down. It was like they were running on the ice as though it was just like on land. wow. The uncle who helped us took photos went and skated and he did not lose to the younger skaters. wow. After the speed skating was resurfacing when the truck came out to scrape the surface to make it smoother. So we made use of the chance to take photos. Haha.
The jie-mei bang! With the newest member, xiao-mei! Haha.
Spot the main difference for the next two photos. Other than the colour contrast of the picture which my camera changed itself and I dont know to increase the colour contrast.
Haha. Leekoon want to niao Pengrong so she asked me to take the top one. Then Pengrong bushuang and went to join in. That is why 1 got him 1 don't have.
Then, we continues to skate around. Leekoon, Edwin and Yusiang quite pro though it was Yusiang's first time to iceskate. wow. Leekoon pulled almost everyone one round and it was quite shuang to just let people drag you along without having to move your legs. Haha. Florence dragged me a lot of rounds too because we were skating together. Haha. So all of us began quite ok in iceskating after rounds and rounds of skating though some of us fell down a few times and there was no need to clutch onto the sides of the ring.
Florence got leg cramp so she went out to retie her shoelaces. Bo liao Leekoon went to take photo. -.-
Now about the part of the changing of the male lead... when we were skating halfway, we noticed something. ;) Look at the next 2 photos...
Look on the left side of the person in green. Spot the 2 tall pple skating together...
A closeup photo. Caught in action. Not very clear but still can identify that is Mr C and Miss H. Haha. Something we didn't realise before.
Haha. After iceskating, we walked to imm for dinner. When we were walking... we noticed another interesting sight. Though quite often seen but still interesting.
Picture kindly taken by Baona. Haha. Miss K and Mr C in black.
Oh ya must clarify for the dinner. It is because they don't know how to pei he then become like that lor. Anyway, that's all for yesterday's celebrations. Continue to read below for Leekoon's part 2 of Florence's birthday.
