Hannan On Ice!

Yes, finally after a year, I'm back on the ice! I have not been ice skating for a while since I have this problem with my ankles. Even so, the thought that I'm gonna leave Russia soon and will be back to Malaysia where there is no snow, I just braced myself today and went for it. Nevertheless I have my prophylaxis measure - ankle guard for both legs. But of course u cant see it when I'm wearing my skating shoes - it's actually the ice hockey shoes... the real ice skating shoes is a bit gay to be frank!

Where did we went? We went to visit our beloved Cik Liza ( Dr Yunus' wife) Since Dr Yunus is currently in Malaysia on some official tasks, we took the liberty of bringing some fun to Cik Liza and her baby here in Moscow! Near to their house , is a tennis court. During winter time, the tennis court is frozen and is turned into an ice rink. Open air skating, it's a must thing to do if u ever visit moscow , canada and bla bla bla... There were 8 of us , cik liza and her baby, sue and shida , zharif (white jacket) , ammar ( yellow glove) , taka ( taking photo) and of course... me :)
We had a lot fun today. Unfortunately ammar and taka didnt bring their own skating shoes, so there we only shida , sue and me with the skating shoes. However, as u can see above, even thou they werent skating, they were having fun in their own way... yess.. snow fight!!! ahahha.. Snow ball was just not enuf for them.. it was more like a snow blocks fight!

Sue was having her first skating lesson today. Shida and I were the coach! AHAhh... it's more like the mother crab teaching their kids to walk straight :) I'm not a good ice-skater , but not that bad either. Just enuf to slide myself around the rink without falling down. Well, to be frank - today was the first time I didnt fall down during skating. Pretty good achivement I reckon! (But I did felt down due to another reason! ) hahah.. I was so happy that my ankle was doing occay today and I could skate happily... :) Last time we went skating, I need to take a rest every 5 mins to take away the pain from my ankle!

So, that was it :) What a great day we had! Wonderful. It was a short outing that it was very enjoyable and everyone had their fun. Even so, my holiday is reaching the end , just few more days left. I'll be back to the hospitals on thurday. Really not looking foward for that day. I wish we could have a few more extra days to enjoy ourselves. I want to go skating again. Who's coming with me?
