Rollerblading has never been this easy!

Remembered that my 1st attempt at rollerblading was many years ago. I was with Dad at East Coast and also recalled him grumbling that I'll never make it. I guess I couldn't let myself go and make those gliding motions. It also took me an hour to finally get up on my feet to balance on the blades. Felt quite frustrated at the end of it all, maybe slightly happy that I managed to balance on the blades.
2nd attempt did not take place too long ago, but... It was still a fluke. I still couldn't let go and "glide", tortured my feet by dragging them and doing the treadmill. Think my friend got quite fed up too... Despite all the tips and support, I still couldn't do it! Still have a scar on my leg to remind me of what happened. Though it seems to grow smaller gradually. :)
3rd attempt (today!) went with Na and Tengz. At first, I couldn't glide too. But, being at the beginner's rink really helped alot. Plus, tips from Na and kind people around us. Slowly practiced getting the correct motions by blading a few metres at a time. Or holding on to the railings. Really proud to say that after 2hrs, we could "glide" on wheels and start feeling the wind. Teng was good! She got it and it's her 1st time! As for me, I'm slowly learning how to break. Can manage, but can't do immediate breaking.
Really thank God that we didn't injure ourselves and for having a great time! Never felt that rollerblading could be so effortless, being able to move smoothly and all. Looks like I'll try to go more often. Heh Heh. Who's up for more? *Grinz* I have finally let loose!! Woo hoo! It's a little breakthrough.
Makes me wonder if I could have even bigger breakthroughs in life? There are just some problems that exist and haunt you, but you are just too tired to confront them. Somethings you just can't handle alone. These are times when only God can do something.
Especially when we compare with others, we tend to compare with people who are better than us. I'm guilty of it too. We forget to be contented with the things we have. Often I have thought that people are too blind to see the good things they have and seem to dismiss these good things easily. Many times I feel like screaming, " Try living my life if you think yours is so bad!", to these people who think that they are so unfortunate. Maybe to others I seem to live a pretty charmed life. It's all in the perspective... But, to me other people seem to be having a much better time. Honestly, my life isn't that bad. Have to be contented. We can't have it all. Maybe you may have something that I don't, but I may have something that you desire. Vice versa. Nothing's perfect.
