Ice skating - Sesudah beberapa tahun...

Fuhhh...it was a tiring day we've been through tadi. Everyone was exhausted but some of us have so much fun especially Ej la kan. She celebrated her victory selepas bertahun dok mengidam. 4 years back, when we took her to Sunway Pyramid dia dok nyanyi to me and Fid dia nak main Ice Skating when she saw many people macam enjoy je dok skating in the ice rink. We were reluctant to let her try it because lack of confident that she would be able to skate and we did not want her to hurt herself. Being persistant that time, Ej kept persuading us and started to show her tantrum.

To make her stop I quickly said "Ask me again when you get No 1 in your exam". She tried to bargain...no 5 and below...this and that...but Fid and I insisted...No...must be No 1 for any exam. Ej terus buat memek muka...mencuka and stop pressuring us on that matter. Occasionally she would try her luck once is a while mentioning about skating and all but we managed to put a full stop with the same sentence "Ask me again when you bla bla bla". Finally last week...God willing, Ej's dream had comes true. Dia betul betul dapat no 1 untuk mid year exam. Apo nak di kato...aku dengan Fid kena telan je la...our own words what we had promised to her 4 years ago. On the same note, Fid and I were very terkejut and happy with Ej's achievement. Our dream had come true as well. Syukur. Maybe it is not a big deal to some people pasal ni sebab selalu sangat dapat score good result...but I studied for 23 years and tak pernah pun dapat no 1. I am happy and proud of Ej.

I asked EJ last week, what she wanted as a present? Without think twice, within split second she mentioned about Ice Skating. Terpaksa la aku dengan Fid bawa dia ke Sunway Pyramid tadi untuk kotakan janji. Since yesterday, Ej was on a happy mood. Layannn. She even persuaded Mama Reen to join us ronggeng kat Sunway Pyramid. So janji dengan Zamreen untuk jumpa terus kat Sunway Pyramid sebab Zamreen kena attend wedding kat Gombak.

We went Sunway awal sikit to take lunch at Bubba Gumb. Last year we went to Bubba Gumb Hong Kong to celebrate Ej's Birthday and today same Restaurant to celebrate Ej's achivement. Before we even seated Ej already mention that she wanted the same dish she ordered in HK.

Ej buat ngada...

Fid with Run Accross America.

Ej's with her Kid shrimp meal.

Mud Pie....rasa macam ice cream venetta tu.

Boleh la layan...

After lunch, roger roger Zamreen and they were already at the parking area.

After took the picture above we went to the Ice Rink to buy the ticket. Rm18 per person regardless adult or kid. Must bring socks and glove. You can also purchase the item at the counter...RM8 for glove and RM3 kot for socks.

EJ muka excited je nak masuk Ice Rink tu...aku pulak berdebar debar. The last time I skate...bertahun tahun yang lampau. Masa tu I was slim...berat pun around 60kg

Mula mula tu...memang happy...kami dok melekat kat dinding tu. I kept asking Ej to hold tight to the wall. Apa punya advice kan...camno dia nak skate kalau asyik dok kat tepi je kan.

Sikit punya bongkok. I heard someone asked her friend to bend forward for better balancing..and I recall similar advice when I skate during Uni time. So there I was like Datuk and nenek bongkok 3.

Ej : Daddy...jangan la bongkok sangat...nanti malu orang ketawakan daddy

Aku : Biarla kan...daripada daddy jatuh tergolek dog.
Ej : Ishh daddy ni. Kelakar je tau. Jangan la terlalu bongkok sangat. Kelakar la.

After a while...I got back my skill (Perasan lebih...padahal...merangkak rangkak)

And Ej was left behind...sape yang sibuk nak skate sebenarnya ni? Anak ke bapak? kah kah kah.

Masa ni...Ej was still hook up with the wall. I made a round and met her again trying to balance herself.

Slow and steady, she pick up...and no turning back...she left me chasing her until I sweat in the cold area. She was so brave and started skating in the middle area whereas I am loyal to the wall...ha ha ha. Takut jatuh punya pasal.

Ej fell 5-6 times I think.

This time she was steady already. Look at her looking here and there like an expert.

I did not go to the middle area like that. Takut.

The furthers I went...2 feet from the wall...he he he.

Peramah as always, she started making friends. pastu siap tolong kakak berdua ni skate. Macam la terror sangat.

coaching time for EJ.

Initially, Zam and kids ware scared to go in. They were laughing looking at me and Ej hook up to the wall trying to balance ourselves. But after a while when they saw us started having fun in the Ice Rink, Zam came in with Adam. Too bad...Adam was not even able to stand up wearing the skating shoe. Adam gave up and Alif took over. Alif tried to balance himself in the rink and he only managed to go for a round before he also gave up. Then left Zam alone trying his luck. After 2 rounds hook up to the wall, he slowly pick up and started enjoying himself skating.

Zam and Ej punya la seronok sampai tak nak balik. I lost count how many rounds both of them skate. Fid and Mama reen pun terkejut tengok Ej and Zam macam pro skater. Too bad, when Ej wanted to go out from then rink, a guy hit her finger. Bengkak tadi...dah sapu ubat dah. Hope tak teruk sangat injured.

Hajat Ejin nak tengok photo kami terjatuh...takde sebab Fid did not snap photo masa Ej jatuh. I only fell once...bukan terduduk tapi tersembam ke depan. Masa tu Fid and Mama reen dok layan coffee and donut. So no photo jugak. Lepas ni mesti Ej nak pi skating lagi sebab susah nak suruh dia berhenti tadi. Layannn.
