Maple~

Worked today. Was as usual, boring. Had a couple of hard-to-deal customers. A customer actually called all the way from Australia to complain about small trival matter. She was screaming in the phone lah! I was caught in the middle between another customer and the in-charge of bukit timah over a pair of skates which was purchased donkey years ago. Because the person-in-charge was not in the shop, I had to put up with the customer's scolding. What shit! 我干麻要替别人背黑锅!! %#*&^$%@


Slalomania was held today. However it was raining at the actual venue, hence, the competition was shifted over to bishan's rink. Woo-hoo.. I get to see those pros can. The skateline staffs were all so excited when we received the call from Hwee Meng regarding the change in venue. Skaters were zooming in even before the lessons ended in the evening.


Slalomania was supposed to start at 6.30 sharp. However, shortly after the competition commenced, it started to drizzle again. After the short drizzle, the skaters dried the rink with the rollers and their skates. o.O Naomi Grigg did abit of skate dance. She was fabulous! It's like her skates was part of her, the slippery ground didn't even affect her performance.


It was very quiet in the shop since the slalomania people arrived, all the happening were in the rink. The CNA people were there too! Chatted with the few NP skaters (Ben, Jiayi, Royston, Ruth, Zhi Wei) and a few other instructors while waiting for the rink to dry. Every skateline staff were slacking during the event. =P


The slide competition was spectacular. Sliders did multiple slide combinations on slippery ground and none of them fell! It is best seen then said. =) Too bad Leonard didn't manage to get into the finals. =X


Only managed to watched the slides because I was exhausted. Wanted to return home early to rest and study for my kanji test tomorrow.


Slalomania made working today worthwhile after all the shit I got form customers. =)
