In-line Skating

Remember the time when roller skating was a craze during our school days and everybody talked about it? Still remember the kind of old skates which need to be held with shoes laces and protective gears were literally unheard of?



The pictures of this old pair of roller skates invokes a lot of childhood memories.



At that time, king yeung and I too had wanted to learn skating (we have the same desire even though we were 300km apart and do not know the existence of each other yet). However our parents did not allow us to participate in this dangerous sport and thereafter our dreams buried and forgotten.

Perbadanan Putrajaya Complex


However, during our last trip to Putrajaya, we had stopped at the Perbadanan Putrajaya Complex, just opposite of Istana Kehakiman and we noticed how big and spacious the area is. At that time we saw some cyclists cycled by and we thought how fun that would be if we could travel along the Boulevard in the same manner.


We decided to get ourselves a pair of roller blades each and hence the search for the perfect roller blades started for us. We found them at BU and ky bought them as a gift for me ... hurrah!!

the first time we tried it out both of us had terrible falls and bruises that lasted us for many weeks. after many trials and errors, we finally learn to skate without holding onto the the railing. a victorious day for us ... :)


King Yeung and his roller blades


It is tiring activity and both of us sweat like mad.
