Roll-a-thon

A little bit of rain

Some excitement,

Some embarassment,

And a whole lot of muscle pain...

A twist of fate

Some cheers,

Some prizes,

And an animated seasoning to taste..

...yeps that was the weekend for me!

Went for my first ever midnight roller blading and boy! was it fun! 4 hours of knee strapping ankle straining adventure:) and the best part..this was just the beginning..

Perfect 10 98.7 organised a midnight skating event at East coast park and needless to say I was there! buzzing with enthusiasm..all geared up for an adrenalin rush. From a dance on the skates, and I mean literally grooving to the tunes, to crazily flinging my arms everywhere and participating in the various competitions being held..I couldn't hide even if I'd wanted to! All the known faces of the DJ/RJ world were present in flesh and blood..there were strings and strings of skaters showing off their mind-blowing skills, loud quality music, laughter resounding the atmosphere of the moist saturday evening..and a festive feel to it all..

For me it beckoned the 'season to be jolly'...awoke the inner 'red'...and re-invented my concept of a holiday...and people...and I didn't feel I was alone for a second...

After debating and rebuttling (looking at the weather) in my mind all day, feeling tempted to forego the challenge for an evening of movie with some friends and blaming it on the rain all the while, I finally did gather my skates and get a taste of it..and it tasted good..real good...save the aching body after the night, the stiff ankles from the insane amount of time I spent "rolling" around and the detailed disection of my name..no one got it right, most made me repeat it a trillion times..and those who did, found it had an uncanny resemblance to the name of the chinese actress 'shu-qi', which was enough to trigger the humour!..ah well...it's lucky I live for humour..

All in all it was something I'm glad I went for.

What's next?..I will be surfing the roads of Singapore and painting them red with my wheels come December..with 119 other partners in crime..tired? Nah not me!

..do remind me to change my name before that though..
