Winter is here and it’s time to sharpen your skating skill!! ^^
Honestly, I don’t know how to skate at all and it’s natural to envy Kim Yuna’s skill ^^. No intention to learn it though cause I love snowboarding more than skating. Snowboarding invokes a different kind of adrenaline rush for me like jumping on the craziest roller coaster? Kind of. ^^ (Whatever Zarina..you gonna be stoned to death by Kim Yuna’s fans! *run and hide*)
Why you want to skate if snowboarding is much cooler?
1.No time to visit ski resort
2.No budget to snowboard/ski at the ski resort
3.Maybe you will meet Kim Yuna look alike? *who knows..hehe*
For Malaysians; take a dip! Do not compare to your Sunway Pyramid’s skating experience cause you may need to garb yourself with layers of clothes to endure the bitter cold. Looking at it from another perspective, winter is the time to be flashy and fashionable, right? At any cost, avoid black. It’s too somber and depressing for winter. ^^
