Today was the supposed FUN-IN-THE-SUN outing at east coast park roller blading, cycling, picnicing, the works. But yes, rain decided to make a special appearance.

Anw, let's start from the start. We met at Bedok mrt and proceeded to have a gorgeously delicious ice-kachang which was puny. Then guiqi arrived and we went to ECP, where it started raining. Lunch at macs and then to the skate rental area. It was still drizzling so we walked from one rental area and back. Then we finally got our roller blades and off we went.

Timeline:

2.45 We put on skates
2.50 We go down the slope together to get to the path for roller blading.
2.51 Yi-lin and guiqi (holding each other) fell FLAT SPLAT at the end of the slope. Jiawen swerved and fell into the grass patch. Wan Ting couldn't stop and glided on for 3m more before turning. Xianmin and Carol managed to stop and help yilin and guiqi.

Omg, it was super scary! The two of them really fell flat onto the hard hard ground and yilin got 2 abrasions, one on her hip and another on her elbow. The hip one was really bad so we helped her get off her skates and brought her back to the skate rental area. Jiawen decided to wait for us at the grass patch. So yilin sat down at the bench, looking paler and paler. The bike rental guy brought us all sorts of stuff, cotton wool, yellow lotion, water to wash with, water to drink.. THEN YILIN FAINTED. SHE BLACKED OUT COMPLETELY. She was just sitting on the chair and we were all calling her name and shaking her and using medicated oil but she was totally unconscious. Her whole face was pale and sweaty and her lips were purple. Xianmin, the guide who's supposed to know first aid, decided to call a first-aider. So huiqi told us to call for an ambulance. -.- and check her pulse. Jiawen checked and said "MODERATE PULSE" haha, it was quite freaky. We were all going "omg omg she fainted! How how?" and calling her. Then she suddenly WOKE UP. She just opened her eyes like that. And she couldn't remember fainting at all. Oh man, it was damn traumatic. How many people faint from getting an abrasion?!? But it looked really really painful. Owww.

Anw, we deduced that she had low blood pressure or blood glucose levels or sth and since she obviously couldn't blade anymore, Jiawen and her changed to a double bike. And off we went. Oh yeah, it was still raining. And we realised we didn't move an inch from where we started for almost an hour. like, 2.50: skate rental area. 3.35: skate rental area. Heh, but we just went off in the rain anw, and looked so despondent, with our wet hair and clothes.

We bladed for less than an hour but it was freakishly TIRING. Every fiber of my being was tired and i don't think i lost any calories at all. Halfway through blading, xianmin asked a question.

Xianmin: Omg, someone tell me i'm normal. I'm hungry.
Everyone else: -silence-

HAHA, xianmin! Then while going back to the rental area, the front chain of their double bike fell off. And jiawen had to switch to the back so she could bike. It looked really funny, cuz she was biking really hard and yilin looked super relaxed in the front. :D

We went back to macs after blading and then walked back to the bus stop. On the way, we decided to take jumping pics but xianmin couldn't take them! Mine look much better. Hah xianmin.

Today was actually really fun, cept for the stupid rain. WE NEED TO GO AGAIN WHEN IT'S SHINING NICE AND BRIGHT. haha, we're like squeezing all our activities into one week!
