A day out with friends is REALLY good for the health. I had a day out with Jaime and her friend for roller blading at Pasir Ris Beach/Park just now. Ok not a 'day' more like '2 hours'.

I just finished my round of night duty and collapsed on the bed the minute I got home. I was dreaming, a weird dream I should say. It started with meeting a new guy and somehow it became a resus scene. A super weird resus it was too. I couldn't remember what case it was but it was a standby case and I made the F-72-Simp call, something something ETA 20 minutes. Weird right, ETA so long. Then I remembered SL Chong was there and she was preparing a, get this, some kind of sauce to marinate chickens! It was only when I woke up and was taking a shower when it hit me and I went "Wha-a-a-t?!". Hahah. We were all prepared and me holding the bowl of marinating chickens. Veron was there also and she said something like "From now on when there's a resus, you must try to get hands-on." And she was starting to teach me and Sue Zhen something when I heard the ambulance arriving. Only it wasn't the normal SCDF ambulance. I think the ambulance that came had green stripes. Or blue. And it's from Thailand. So weird! Anyway, the ambulance hadn't even stopped yet when I was woken up by a call from Jaime. Hahah.

Checked the clock to be 3.10pm. Not that I was late or anything but she told me to wake up and get ready, they're coming to pick me up. So, moaning and groaning, I got out of bed, took a shower, got dressed, grabbed a quick bite and went down to meet them. And off we went to a round of blading. I had on most of the protection required for roller blading. At least, the protection that I needed, which was the hand, elbow and knee guard.

I've never bladed before nor was her friend that practiced in blading. So both of us were the unstable ones, while Jaime gave some tips on how to blade. I fell twice and both were at the humps. Hahaha. And both were on my butt. The second fall was worse and way funnier and should have called for a video or at least a still shot of us. Us, meaning Jaime and I. Hahahah. I was the one who was collapsing while going over a hump but Jaime was in front of me and I felt my blade hit something and both of us went to meet the ground. I think I hit her blades. I fell hard on my butt and Jaime fell somehow, in the midst of it hitting her kidney with her blades and fell laid down on the grass. Hahahah. There was like a 5 to 10 seconds of laughing/moaning silence while we tried to get even with our pain. Hahaha. Memorable moment. Needless to say, there should be a butt guard for me too.

So we bladed till the end and stopped for some cam-whoring, the photos of which I shall upload once I get ALL of them. Half of them are with me but the rest are with Jaime's friend.

Fun 2 hours!! Haha.

Anyway, I've been fine since that day that I broke down. Thanks to Ryan and Serene. And now also to Jaime. Serene made me realize that what I went through is really not all that bad. That there are others who suffered much worse and that I should be thankful and not get all sorry for myself. Yup. One thing I like about life is the people it throws into my path.

It's been a good three days.
