There is always a first in everything in life. First day at school; first step; first word; first time to ride a bike, etc... Today, it's my first time ice skating. There is apparently an ice skating rink close to my house that I didn't even know about even though I have been living in the same area for more than half my life.

Anyway, it was actually easier than I thought. I had tried roller skating before (ice skating on concrete), and sucked at it, really bad. So I wasn't putting much hope on ice skating. After all, there were four of us, but only one of us knew anything about ice skating. One can only imagine the chaos that ensued.

Well, it turned out quite well. Only took me an hour to get the basics. Need to thank my friend for being such a good teacher. I never knew I can skate, albeit badly. I didn't fall once, and that was my first time skating! I felt so good, though my left foot is a bit sore from the tight boots. But overall, a great afternoon, and I get to meet a new friend.
