Sunway

It's been absolutely ages since I spent a day out with my friends with a specific plan that involved doing nothing but goofing off at Sunway. It started with ice skating. There were one or two reluctant voices, but they were quickly drowned out as everyone was herded towards the ticketing counter. Skates were more or less quickly fitted and laced up, and we were soon stumbling awkwardly towards the rink.

There was plenty of apprehension, no one really wanted to get on the ice first, but it soon gave way to plenty of shaky knees and a rush for something to cling onto. I'm so proud of Aaron and Hsiang, who aren't the most gifted on ice, because managed to inch their way bambi-like around the rink without holding on by the end of the first hour. +lol+ Evan spent most of the two hours attempting to dance and sing on the ice at the same time; Aaron tried to talk everyone into train races when he had figured out how to stay more or less upright; Weng was trying to figure out how to stop; Tish was happily cruising on his own; and Hsiang held onto Young for dear life.

There were a couple of incidents - Aaron tried to superman across the ice, and Evan collided with the barriers butt first before hitting the ice in spectacular fashion. I could barely hold myself up against the wall from laughing so hard.

The two hours flew by, but it was sheer relief when we took off our skates. Hsiang said it felt like he had tortured himself for no reason. It was pretty accurate because ankles were sore, feet were cramped, and it took a while to remember not to try and glide across the rubber mat.

Lunch was KFC - there were more protests there, but only from the guys because they were extremely conscious about the fat content in fried chicken.

Bowling was hilarious. The competition was fierce and frame for frame - plenty of strikes, spares, and gutter balls. There was even some backward bowling, which actually resulted in higher scores than the previous tries for some. I wasn't sure what 'Eediot Cheah' was trying a few frames later but he ended up flat on his stomach across the waxed lane. It seems he did a lot of falling down today. 'Cousin Lee' even managed to clip his ankle with the bowling ball (not clever) - it was that intense. 'AL' was trying to hook all the way through both games when he wasn't bowling backwards, so he averaged about 60, and it was generally agreed that 'Mr Lee' was fluking all the way and that his street shoes looked a lot liked bowling shoes which are um, gay.

An archery competition later between Aaron, Evan, and JL (they feel the need to compete all the time) and it was finally going home time. I’m really getting old, I'm absolutely exhausted.
