Getting to ECP today was a harrowing experience, I realised I've never gone all the way there by myself before. It took me more than an hour and a half to get there! Bus, MRT, bus, walk. Got lost amidst the HDB flats for a while at the end because Tubby wouldn't pick up his phone to save me ):
But anyway, got there safe and sound, and just in time to rent rollerblades with the rest! (: Trying to be creative with my photo editing here, so bear with the pinkness. It's only pink because it matches with my blog lah.
The most strenuous part of rollerblading was, perhaps, teaching Tubby to rollerblade! But he learnt fast, and he only fell a few hundred times :D Haha! Marcus was terribly pro, Michelle came in a close second. The rest of us sort of wobbled around, but it was fun.
At one point, Jon, me and Tubby fell like dominoes on top of each other and lay in the middle of the road for a while in pain. It was quite hilarious and now I have the coolest bruise on my hand ever - it has a funky gravelly design on it, and it looks just like the texture of the road! This marks the 2nd time I've fallen while rollerblading. The first fall years and years ago caused a fractured tailbone and I've had a phobia of rollerblading until recently.
Haha! Gabrielle please tell me if you want me to take that photo down, I thought it was cute but I personally wouldn't like to be caught mid-yawn!
So we had lunch and dessert after that, and Marcus was tempted to gobble down my entire portion because I was eating so slowly. Yum yum yum (:
Some went off to bowl, the rest of us trooped down to the breakwater to escape the sub-zero climate in the bowling alley. It's somehow therapeutic, at least for me, to just sit there and watch the water lapping up and down the rocks. It's all so picturesque and ... unpredictable, God's creations are truly beautiful. (: Sat there having a nice long chat with Joel, at which point I discovered to my horror that I am physically incapable of hunching my back (he reckons the best I can do is to hunch my shoulders forward).
Mingchuan very kindly gave Jon Gab and I a lift to Bishan, and Daddy picked me up from the station, which cut my travelling time by more than half. So I reached home by 7. Yay (:
It was a pleasant day, not that we actually did very much from morning to evening, but it was more about the blissfully inane lazing about, the time spent with each other, the sense of not having to mugmugmug for now at least, and, well, just good old bumming around (:
I'll upload all the photos soon, give me a bit of time guys, and I'll let you know when it's up (:

In other news, Elisa and Evelyn has MOVED! We have our own domain now, much easier to remember than the whole fluidskiesblahblah. Isn't it great? (: To the people who have kindly linked us, please change the links! You can copy and paste from our "about us" page, or just change the html if you know how (:
On a related note, I decided last night after penning down that entry about not having enough jewellery for myself, and perhaps spurred on by Angie's little comment, that it was time to make earrings for me! Was terribly pleased with how they turned out, especially since I slaved over them for hours (: Then Elisa took one look at them, gasped, and insisted that I had to recreate them and sell them! So, I shan't be special anymore, but it's okay. Make more people happy with my designs, I ownself also happy lah :D (Hehe Angie! Your favourite word!) Besides, it's near impossible for me to create 2 exactly the same earrings, so they'll all be slightly different (:
Dreamcatcher. Available soon (: As well as the other filigree earrings!
(So to Angel, nope, we haven't put them up yet! But because so much so much sooo mmuuuuccchh work went into them, we're probably making them slightly pricier than usual, and see the other side first before you decide to buy ok? Cos they're asymmetrical! (: Thanks a lot!)
This picture was the reason for my arriving at ECP nearly 2 hours late, haha! On the spur photoshoot with the sister, who woke up as I was about to go out.
Whoah, talk about a super picture intensive post!
