Break.ForReflections.

Was on AL for the past two days and I must say, it was a good break... If only I didn't have to face reality today and the holiday went on and on... that would have been ideal, wouldn't it? Ha. I wish.

Anyway, think I accomplished quite a lot of things over the last two days. Here's a quick breakdown:
Mon - Took Basic Theory Class, followed by Practical lesson for motorcycle, followed by swimming, dinner + shopping, jazz class @Old School and eventually supper at McDonalds.
Tue - Cleared emails from home, had brunch, followed by lunch, ice-skating and movie.

I still can't believe I actually started the engine of a bike and rode in circles. It was pretty scary and I had a phobia deep down because the bike was so heavy and I was so worried I would just speed off and crash. Felt jittery throughout the class. I am now full of respect for the road riders/ drivers. I think I could potentially be a road safety hazard if I actually passed my license. eeks.

Ice-skating on day 2 was fun, though I took a while to warm up. I enjoyed watching the figure-skating students more than actual skating I suppose. They looked really graceful. If I had the time, I may sign up for basic skating class. ha.

I also came to realise in the skating rink, that I was really afraid of falling... similar to how I was afraid of falling off the bike, crashing etc. Looking back, perhaps I've lived a sheltered life all this while... had been too overly protected and now I can't take the crash. I've grown accustomed to taking small cautious steps, hold back if I sense danger, and pretty much staying within my own comfort zone... and this will be a deterrent in many ways. It's probably time to step out of the comfort zone or I may just waste a life away.
