Ice is less dense than liquid water…
How can one resist when the ice skating rink is a mere 15 minutes walk away? SO we made plans to go there today. Me, another KK-lite, 1 west malaysian,2 singaporeans, 1 thai, and 1 japanese. =) Skating here costs $14.50 per person (don’t convert!!!) and there are two skating rinks, one for beginners and a larger one which they sometimes use for hockey games as well. So its bout the same size as the one at Sunway Pyramid. But, this place here is COLD… So much so that your breath condenses once its out of your mouth. =0 The temperature here is kept low and coupled with the fact that the building only houses these rinks, its much colder than at sunway. The ice here is hard and dry, doesn’t melt like at Sunway so its much rougher and bumpier. Plus there is enought ice shavings to make a few hundred bowls of ais kacang if anyone bothers to take the trouble. =)
About 80% of the people there were kids. As in below 12 years old. =) Imagine the few of us sticking out like sore thumbs in the rink. Haha…. I made friends with this cute little girl called Emily. She’s only nine but skates like a pro. =)
Anyway, miss the shoes that they use in sunway. These here are harder but have buckles instead of laces so minus the hassle of having to retie your laces everytime.
On the other hand, I just found out that there are free tennis courts along west terrace bout 5 minutes walk from my place. =) So I’ve started going there with some friends to play as well. I don’t play well. In fact, I’m terrible at it but hey, I’ll give it a try.
Back to the books. =P
*ps - Med ball coming up next with the theme Arabian Nights. (?!?!) This better not be true.
